Two UF Student Government Senate meetings in a row were canceled, and senators are unsure if this is allowed under the Student Body constitution.
As usual, it all started with an email.
The resolution to impeach UF Student Body President Michael Murphy failed at the Student Government judiciary committee meeting Thursday morning because it was deemed illegitimate.
