On June 7, UF’s Student Government will vote on changes to its constitution.
In February, the Student Body voted to amend the constitution to include online voting, according to Alligator archives. It passed with a 68 percent majority.
Although online voting is included in the constitution, the UF Online Implementation Ad Hoc committee must still revise wording that makes it unconstitutional, said Wayne Selogy, the committee’s chairman.
“We’re going through the online code to make sure there is nothing contradictory,” Selogy said. “In two weeks, we’re voting on those amended changes.”
U.S. Marine Corps veteran Randall Martin, who is also a 31-year-old UF soil and water science graduate student, asked the Student Senate to get involved with the community on Memorial Day.
The Brass Tap will host military trivia at 8:30 p.m. tonight, and groups will take American flags to veterans’ graves at Gainesville cemeteries Saturday, he said.
“Wherever you go, take time to remember why you have the day off, why we’re all here, why we live in freedom, why we have awesome things,” Martin said.
Senate also approved the service fee budget for the 2016-17 academic year, said Charlie Brown, Jr., the chairman of the UF Budget and Appropriations committee. Service fees, which cover student amenities like Lake Wauburg, campus gyms and health services, will stay the same, and services will expand.
