Malick Ibrahim, Myricle Gholston and Karisha Petty were all removed from their senator positions in a censure meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 6 due to excessive absences from weekly senate meetings. According to Section 2.2 of WKU SGA bylaws, “Members of the Senate shall be allowed no more than three unexcused absences per semester unless excused by the Judicial Council. If three unexcused absences are reached, the Speaker of the Senate shall send the member to the Judicial Council for possible removal from the organization.” All three senators accumulated at least six unexcused absences this semester from the mandatory meetings.
