Oklahoma Christian University’s Student Government Association met for their weekly meeting on March 9. They looked ahead to the upcoming campaigns and elections for SGA executive positions.
The meeting began by talking over the newly approved constitution change of having the required GPA for executive positions move from a 2.0 to a 2.5. This change will be applied in the upcoming SGA elections and campaign processes beginning after spring break on March 21.
They then moved to discuss a bylaw change approval on the budget request process for student organizations and other projects. The change states the funding request must be no more than 20% of the total and no more than 80% for requests considered emergencies. An emergency is determined by the executive team’s decision based upon the situation.
They continued to talk about previous funding requests from last week, including the Soundings Literary and Visual Arts Journal, the Exploring America trip hosted by Matt McCook and the Baja Introduction in engineering.
After spring break, multiple important dates were noted as SGA prepares for the next academic year of executive staff. Filing for executive positions will occur during March 21-24 with a campaign meeting on March 24. Campaigns for executive positions will start on March 25 with elections following on March 31 and April 1.
Class officer filing will begin April 4-7 with a campaign meeting to follow on April 7 when filing is finished. Campaigns for class officers begin on April 8 and end on April 13 with elections on April 14 and 15.
They also noted the civil rights spring break trip as well as the continual support for upcoming sporting events from students.
