Student Government scheduled an emergency meeting for next Tuesday to address concerns with the Student Elections Commission handling of the fall semesters’s election season at Monday’s meeting.

The SEC was supposed to present its case on Monday regarding running the election season, but notified SG via email that members could not attend. The emergency meeting next Tuesday will offer them an opportunity to speak to SG before the election cycle begins on Oct. 15.

The executive board expressed its dissatisfaction with how the SEC handled Boston University’s 2011–12 academic year’s elections, but board members said they wanted the SEC’s performance to improve under new leadership.

Jon Donald, SG judicial commissioner, said the SEC owned up to its mistake and that it has taken great strides this semester.

“They’ve been working with John Battaglino in the Dean of Students office to get a new elections mechanism,” the College of Arts and Sciences senior said. “You’ll be able to send in your ballot via smartphone … They’ll be able to know what percentage of the student body has voted at what given time.”

The SEC has arranged for a George Sherman Union poster case to go up Tuesday and will also have flyers going up around campus, Donald said.

“They have also arranged with the Boston University Ad Club to have assistance for all slates running, which is something slates last year had a problem with,” he said.

Aditya Rudra, SG executive vice president, said the SEC will potentially garner SG’s support despite the delay in conversation.

“I really hope that they show us, that they put up a strong show because it would make things a lot easier for us,” Rudra, a School of Management junior, said.

Cherice Hunt, director of communications, said SG will have to wait and see how the SEC presents itself next Tuesday.

“Student government isn’t condemning the student elections commission,” Hunt, a College of Communication junior, said. “It’s really up to them to them to present their work.”

Aside from the SEC, SG updated its members on the status of their gender-neutral housing initiative. Caitlin Seele, SMG junior and SG directory of advocacy, told The Daily Free Press that SG has been working on securing gender-neutral housing for BU during the entire summer.

“The administration has swarmed the university committee to look at the issue and compare it to a lot of other peer schools that we make sure we have the best system that’s been tried and true, and one that is also adapted to our special culture because we are different than anyone else around,” Seele said.

The social affairs committee proposed an activist expo in which all the political and activist organizations on campus could present their work.

“We are gong to use this also as a chance to encourage all the activist organizations on campus to coordinate with each other because despite them all being activist organizations — they are all caught up in what they are doing that aren’t collaborating enough, so this is our push to help do that,” said Social Affairs Committee Director Tarif Ahmed, a CAS junior.

The student government allocated $300 to the Social Affairs committee to cater the expo.
