Clarification: The Northern Star reported the Student Association Senate heard a presentation by each senator at large candidate then held a closed-door discussion and vote.

To clarify, each senator at large candidate was asked to leave the room, but the discussion and vote were open to the public.

Five vacant positions within the Student Association, including four senators at large, were filled at a SA Senate meeting Sunday.

Jamilah Dodd was appointed deputy election commissioner, the position that assists Election Commissioner Kevin Gordon to promote and organize SA elections.

“Their job is to assist the commissioner,” said Robert Kreml, SA Senate deputy speaker, at the meeting Sunday. “They don’t hold any actual power. We created the position last year to make the election process easier.”

Four empty seats in the SA Senate were filled after a presentation by each candidate, closed-door discussion and vote. District 1 gained Aaron Xavier Lewis, freshman health science major, and Matthew Holt, freshman political science major.

“I have never seen someone who involves themselves on this campus [like Holt] does,” Senator Timothy Brandner said. “He is involved in a dozen organizations with leadership positions in half a dozen.”

District 4 gained former senator Alex Koss and graduate student Siddhardha Palepu.

All candidates were voted in by a significant majority of the SA Senate. The four candidates were sworn in and joined the assembly immediately.
