Some attentive readers of The News may have noticed a striking lack of coverage of Northeastern’s Student Government Association (SGA) throughout the current academic year, and especially now, during direct elections for student body president and executive vice president. The News does not believe the actions of the SGA have substantially impacted the Northeastern community on a week-to-week, and therefore has decided to direct its resources towards covering other topics. Low participation rates in recent elections and general attitudes among the student population reflect these sentiments. It is the hope of The News that the winning candidate will be able to reverse this trend and make a difference among Northeastern community members, but as the capacity of the SGA as an institution to do this has yet to be seen, this paper will be not be an active participant.
