Prior to the discussion of the JSA issue, VP of student rights candidate Andrei Fomenko announced that he was going to present video footage from a previous grievances meeting.
Before the footage was shown, Sterling stormed out of the meeting, saying, "I'm tired. This is the biggest joke ever. All they're doing is making this the joke of the century … [The current senate] represents nothing."
Many senators felt the video footage was one-sided and biased. Alex Lin said, "When we watched the video, there only happened to be little parts. There wasn't Satomi's witness testimony, there wasn't a lot of other testimony - a lot of it was [cut] out. It was only what Terell said and Gregory Knittel's (Japanese Student Association Advisor) testimony. It was incredibly changed … and out of context."
Current Student Trustee Jordan Eldridge voiced concern over what he called illegal bias, conflict of interest, unethical behavior and disregard for parliamentary procedure throughout the election process. He is consulting with administrators to verify the legality of the election.
