SGA Supreme Court disqualifies entire party in unprecedented ruling
The SGA Supreme Court ruled early this morning that all members of the #RiseUp party have been disqualified from the 2021 election.
The ruling came after a hearing for two complaints that were filed against #RiseUp in late February.
The complaints regarded illegal campaigning in the student center citing videos posted by the SGA party. The videos exhibited candidates wearing masks with their party’s brand on them, breaking the election code.
Another complaint cited a supporter of the #RiseUp party engaging in threatening language towards the student action party on social media. This broke four election codes in the process, presenting as a Class A violation.
As the Student Government Association election season heats up, complaints from opposing parties resurface past tweets of candidates running in 2021.
The two parties, Student Action and #RiseUp both have their fair share of complaints go through the election commission, some of these complaints noting violation of election codes and having merit.
The Student Action party candidate Yazen Hamoudah was held by a complaint violating the SGA election code with recent tweets expressing insensitive things, according to the statement.
“I never meant to offend anyone, but that is not an excuse for my tweets. There is no excuse for the use of the N-word in any context, and I believe it to be a racial slur that is unacceptable in today’s society,” Hamoudah said in an apology. “These tweets do not reflect who I am as a person.”
