Here are three takeaways from Student Association’s meeting in Maxwell Auditorium on Monday night:

  1. Representatives elected

Current SA members elected 12 new assembly members to represent various SU home colleges and SUNY-ESF. Only the College of Arts and Sciences and the Whitman School of Management had elections that were contested.

Here are the elected representatives:

Arts and Sciences:

  • Roma Amernath, freshman on the pre-med track
  • Peter Choi, freshman political science

  1. Student Athletic Fee

SA President Aysha Seedat said she will be meeting soon with Syracuse Director of Athletics Mark Coyle to go over her proposal to alter the way students purchase season tickets. Instead of students buying them separately through the Carrier Dome Box Office, Seedat is proposing a $100 student athletic fee, which would cover the cost for both football and men’s basketball season tickets.

  1. Kiss cam

Student Association had planned to discuss a resolution to change Syracuse’s kiss cam, but after the assembly elections ran late, decided to suspend the rest of its meeting and didn’t get to the resolution. Seedat said the resolution was drafted after a letter to the editor at Syracuse.com condemned the Carrier Dome’s kiss cam and called on SA, among others, to make a change. SA will discuss the resolution at its meeting next Monday.
