Technical difficulties during the Students’ Association elections may have affected the outcome for one college’s representation.
Nicole Schwebach, an SA senate candidate from the College of Agriculture and Biological Sciences filed a grievance March 3. According to Schwebach and SA President Brett Monson, Schwebach’s name sometimes did not appear on the ballot, and her picture never appeared.
Monson said the reason for the error was technical difficulties.
Monson said they are looking at options to remedy the error, not ruling out redoing elections for the College of Agriculture and Biological Sciences.
Schwebach said she understood that technical problems happen to everyone, but said, “I was a little disappointed.”
Schwebach said she hoped elections for her college would be held again after spring break.
