Spring 2018 Student Initiatives Results

Below are the results from the Student Initiative voting period held last week. The necessary approval percentage for an initiative is 66.67%, or two thirds of the voting students, while ignoring votes of “No Preference”.  With this in mind, you can see below that all the initiatives proposed this semester have been approved. Next week, the Student Initiatives Fund Committee [stifund] will reach out and meet with the individuals who proposed the initiatives, working with them to implement the changes our student body has approved.

Stifund voting is still open! Initiatives include:

• Divest from Fossil Fuels
