High Rise senator position remains vacant due to election error

The Highrise Dorm senator position is still vacant after Student Senate announced there was a petition to redo the election due to a bylaw violation. Senate made the announcement at the meeting 4 p.m. Monday in the Student Center Scottsbluff Room.
“According to our bylaws the dorm senators are supposed to be voted on by their respective dorm halls, and because the poll was sent out to the entire campus, that was technically incorrect,” Chief Justice Megan Hodgson, sophomore of McCook, said. “I have received a petition in review from a student on campus petitioning the election results.”
Hodgson also said she will be meeting with her court to decide how they will conduct a fair election and fill the Dorm senator position.
In addition, the senate swore in two new senators.
Makenna Cormack, sophomore of Severance, Colorado, will represent Business, Math, and Science (BMS) and Tianna Martin, Freshman of Kearney, will be a new Liberal Arts senator.
