During Monday’s Student Government Association (SGA) meeting, SGA President Michael Sabo announced he appealed the Finance Board’s decision to cut funding for SGA e-board members’ stipends. The decision will go before the Appeals Board and Vice President of Student Affairs Laura Wankel will make the final decision.
Elections Chair Taylor Cotter said the 3,270-vote requirement, 20 percent of the student body, was met at 2:45 p.m. Tuesday, less than 10 hours before the midnight deadline. The SGA had already voted to extend the deadline on Thursday when the minimum hadn’t been met. They had to decide on Thursday so Information Services could set up the extension before the weekend. If the requirement was not met at the end of the two-day extension, the election would have been decided by the senate.
I am writing in response to last week’s attack on the Student Government Association (SGA): “Column: SGA should just disolve already.” How can you, as a member of a student organization yourself, disrespect another hard-working organization by saying our university would...

Don’t take this the wrong way, Student Government Association (SGA), but you are worthless. This isn’t really meant in a derogatory way – I mean that, as currently incorporated, you have zero worth to this university and its students. Negative worth, really, as Northeastern...
The Student Government Association’s (SGA) reasoning for paying executive board members thousands of dollars – $29,351 total – every year is weak at best.
Executive officers, the explanation goes, cannot find part-time jobs because of how many hours they put into SGA...
The News sat down with SGA presidential and executive vice president candidates for a Q&A about their campaigns and the issues they feel strongly about.
SGA members then evaluated the referenda proposed for this year’s voting ballot on fairness, wording, feasibility and adherence to university policy. Six referenda received enough student votes to be considered and SGA voted to approve all of them to appear on the ballot. This included referenda to increase the number of recycling bins on campus and add the opt-out renewable energy fee to the “I Am Here” registration. The fee is currently an opt-in choice on the tuition e-bill.
