Union: senate candidate violated election rules

Senator-at-Large candidate James L. Ansorge 09 has been accused of violating Student Union election rules, according to Union election commissioners.


USEM proposal passes

University faculty approved a new University Seminar (USEM) proposal at their Thursday faculty meeting that makes a revamped UWS mandatory for first-year students, “loosens” the restrictions on interdisciplinary USEMs, and changes the writing intensive university requirement to include an oral communication option.
The faculty approved the proposal presented by the University Curriculum Committee by a 73-0 vote. Because the vote received more than a two-thirds majority and was reviewed by a standing faculty committee, a second reading at the next faculty meeting is not required, according to the Faculty Handbook.
