ASWSU Senators discussed during a meeting Wednesday that some students may have potentially read the wrong information for a referendum while voting in the ASWSU elections.
While filling out her ASWSU election ballot, ASWSU Senator Oluwanifemi “Nife” Shola-Dare said information about the transportation fee was included in the food pantry fee proposal.
Another ASWSU Senator experienced something similar. Shola-Dare said she is worried more students were affected and that results for the proposal are skewed.
“I don’t have any confidence in the votes that were collected from yesterday and today because of that,” Shola-Dare said.
ASWSU adviser Ashley Morehouse said the issue was brought up to ASWSU’s Election Board adviser yesterday. Two different sections of information technology personnel went through the entire election ballot to determine what the issue was.
The annual Pacific Northwest Leadership Conference facilitated by WSU Student Involvement will be held on Saturday.
Ashley Morehouse, ASWSU and leadership adviser, said the conference gives students the opportunity to learn about engaging in community service, getting involved and discovering leadership opportunities. There will be a keynote speaker and breakout room sessions during the event.
“Students really learn anything about themselves in terms of their leadership style and learning more hard skills like using the [Coug] Presence platform,” Morehouse said.
All six WSU campuses will be involved in this conference. Morehouse said any WSU student, graduate or undergraduate, can be involved in the conference if they are interested.
