S.A. Votes ‘Yes’ on Direct Election of President, V.P.

February 8, 2008 - 1:00am
By Nikhita Parandekar

Cornell is no longer the only Ivy whose president and vice president of the governing student assembly are not elected by the student body.

Yesterday, the Student Assembly passed Resolution 12, which states that the president and executive vice president of the S.A. will be elected by the entire student body in all future elections. The resolution passed with a 15-1-3 vote.

Specifically, the resolution details that two of the eight at-large seats will be set aside as seats for the president and executive vice president. Now that the resolution is part of the S.A.’s charter, the first election it will affect will be in the 2008-2009 school year.
