established the selection
process for appointing a student
representative to serve on the

at Wednesday night's meeting.

can run for the position at the
Nov. 3 UPUA meeting.
Whoever is elected will be
appointed by the Dec. I deadline
the deadline designated by
borough council's resolution
passed on Oct. 18 to serve for
the interim appointment lasting
for the remainder of the school
year.
Though UPUA Governmental
Affairs Chairman TJ Bard said
his initial recommendation was
to have solely the president, vice
president and at-large represen
tatives be eligible to run for the
position, he said the governmen
tal affairs committee "over
whelmingly decided" to open up
the election to the entire assem
bly.
"Essentially what happened
was we wanted it to be an ade
quate representation of the stu
dent body," said Bard (sopho
more-economics and political
science). "Anyone holding a posi
tion in the assembly is a repre
sentative of the student
body...we definitely didn't want
to discriminate against any part
of the student body by closing off
their voice by eliminating it to
only at-large representatives."
UPUA President Christian
Ragland said the committee
decided to open up the election
to the entire assembly to ensure
that anyone who was passionate
about being the student repre
sentative was afforded the
opportunity to run.
According to the policy, fur
ther elections for the student
representative will work similar
ly to the interim appointment.
