After controversy over vague bylaws dominated last year’s Georgetown University Student Association election, a newly-formed student committee met Tuesday to decide how to reform the bylaws governing the elections.
Focusing on a range of issues from spending limits to candidates’ use of other advertising media, such as the Internet, the committee intends to give a thorough point by point reworking of the bylaws to prevent future problems in time for this fall’s first-year representative GUSA election.
According to the Chairman of the newly-created commission, Drew Rau (CAS ‘06), the current bylaws are unclear.
“We want to take out all the subjectivity as much as possible,” Rau said.
Kelley Hampton (CAS ‘05) and Luis Torres (CAS ‘05) were initially disqualified from the GUSA election last year but, on appeal, named President and Vice-President.
