The past year's elections for Student Association President, Vice President and Senate were, to put it mildly, a disaster. Charges of questionable campaign practices and of bias on the part of officials who are supposed to be independent observers of the process have led to one of the more screwed-up situations in recent memory. (Yes, this is even worse than the situation in April 2004, where the election was nearly thrown out because it was held over Passover, denying the Orthodox Jewish students a chance to participate.)
In theory, this was supposed to be fixed by an independent commission whose job it would be to fix the mistakes of the past two years, but as of today, this has not happened. The integrity and sanctity of this process need to be protected.
I for one am willing to wait to see whether this process actually takes place, and if so, what results come from it. I will keep people posted.
