The Elections Code Edits Amendment
To update the Elections Code in the USGA Articles of Governance
Whereas,
The USGA Articles of Governance should be as accurate as possible in its
provisions, and
Whereas,
The USGA Articles of Governance should reflect the current reality of the
Unified Student Government Association, hereafter referred to as the USGA, and
University function, and
Whereas,
Certain areas of the Elections Code need to be updated in order to reflect this
reality, and
Whereas,
In reality, public funding for all candidates takes the form of printing funds, and
Whereas,
As it’s currently written, the provision regarding public funding gives the
perception that the USGA will literally provide monies to a candidate to spend
freely, and
Whereas,
Two new buildings, Cuneo Hall and the Institute for Environmental
Sustainability, hereafter referred to as the IES, have come online, and
Whereas,
These two buildings currently do not have any campaign-related provisions in the
Elections Code, and
Therefore,
Be it resolved, that the USGA makes the following change to USGA Articles of
Governance Article 22 §4 (A) (i):
Candidates for office shall receive printing funds for their campaign in the
amount of one quarter of the spending cap for the position contingent upon
approval of the Elections Board.
,and
Therefore,
Be it further resolved, that the USGA makes the following additions under USGA
Articles of Governance Article 22 §6 (A) (i):
xiv. Cuneo Hall. Campaigning and posting in Cuneo Hall shall be
prohibited.
xv. Institute of Environmental Sustainability (IES). Campaigning and
posting in the IES shall be prohibited.
