This fall saw remarkably low voter turnouts for multiple student-elected positions, following a years-long trend of poor turnout.
The Student Assembly had everything set for its spring 2020 elections. Then COVID-19 hit. Now, during another unprecedented semester, S.A. candidates plan to reboot their campaigns.
Despite the upcoming class cancellations, the Student Assembly discussed the suspension of its current elections and passed a resolution supporting fossil fuel divestment.
“The entire appeals process is not over,” said S.A. President Jung Won Kim ’18. “The election results will, for all candidates, be out during or after the spring break.”
Many candidates answered that they disagreed with the decision taken last semester to defund Cornell Cinema.
