The Syracuse University Student Association will hold an election for the SA
representative to the University's Board of Trustees on Monday, April 27. The last
day for a student to sign up to be considered in the election is Wednesday, April 22.
The Board of Trustees oversees the University's academic and administrative
operations. The board is also in charge of supervising the University's "physical and
financial assets." The boar is composed of four kinds of trustees: Ex officio trustees,
organization trustees, alumni trustees and trustees.
To be eligible to run, students must submit a petition that can be obtained in the SA
office, located near the computer cluster in the Hildegarde and J. Myer Schine
Student Center. Petitions require 25 undergraduate signatures, a signature from the
student's undergraduate office, a signature from the Office of Judicial Affairs and a
letter of intent. Any undergraduate student at Syracuse University and the SUNY
College of Environmental Science and Forestry is eligible to run for this position. The
term is from May 1, 2009, to April 30, 2010.
The Student Association representatives exist to serve and advocate on behalf of the
students.
