PSGA

On Wednesday, Jan. 27 the PSGA held their first meeting of the spring semester. The primary issue was the introduction of candidates to fill the newly-vacant Senate seats. There are openings in the Music Conservatory, Alumni Village, and Fort Awesome.

Coordinator of Histories and Documents Steve Sabel was impeached by the Senate on Wednesday, Nov. 18 moments after Coordinator of Finance Nico Marceca urged the Senate to reconsider the proposition.

In response to the accusations presented by former Parliamentarian Russell Zambito at Sabel, Marceca filed charges against all but three members of the Senate. However, his plea was ultimately discarded as the Senate validated the impeachment shortly after.

This week, the PSGA met to further discuss topics such as the Probation Resolution, the appointment of another Associate Justice, and funds proposals.

Director of the Office of Student Life and Community Partnerships Jason Alt made a guest appearance and further clarified information regarding the Probation Resolution. Most importantly, he answered a reoccurring question facing the Senate of whether or not the PSGA was separate from the administration. According to Alt, the answer was no.

On Wednesday, Oct. 21, the PSGA held its seventh Senate meeting of the semester. An issue that caused major discussion was the Probation Resolution policy. This is a document stating that the college has the right to make sure certain students are in proper academic standing if they’re involved with the PSGA.
