UPDATE: Mr. Yang will be appealing the decision. This should push the Ballot counting back.

**BREAKING**

Bryant Yang, Student Action and APPLE's candidate for Student Advocate, has been disqualified from the election following a successful lawsuit by Squelch! Candidate Richard Schulman. Mr. Schulman's case was that the font Mr. Yang used in his campaign literature was the same font used in official SAO documents, creating the appearance of it being an official endorsement. I don't know the details of how he was removed.

I'm as surprised as anyone.. Mr. Schulman filed the lawsuit on his own, and no one I've talked to thought he had a chance, (including me.) Case observers said Mr. Bryant's defender, Student Advocate Rafeedie, did a bad job defending him before the J-Council.

If Mr. Schulman decides not to serve, the election of the SAO goes to the Senate, as it did for Mr. Kipnis. No word yet if Ms. Torres would throw her hat in the ring in that case...Email This Post!
