"After Lengthy Debate, Assembly Approves Senate Nominations"

After a healthy debate last night, the Student Association Assembly confirmed, 33-8, SA President Christian Oliver's appointments to the SA Senate, which were postponed last week due to concerns over fair representation for UB students and Oliver's influence over future senators.The SA Assembly also created a committee to examine the SA constitution and possibly suggest an amendment that would modify the power of appointment given to the SA president, who currently has the responsibility of replacing senators in the event of vacancies.Controversy first arose when Michael Goggin and Adam Baviford, who were elected to the Senate in September's open elections, voluntarily resigned at Oliver's request due to a perceived conflict of interest.Since Oliver had previously appointed Goggin and Baviford to paying jobs within SA, the Student Wide Judiciary issued a non-binding decision stating the president was in a position to influence the two senators."The court found that anyone within the executive branch that was appointed by the president for employment would present a conflict of interest if they were also a member of the Senate," Oliver said.Most of the debate centered on the appointment of Haynes instead of Stefanie A.
