The College of Arts and Science votes have ben tallied, and the new class of school officers is available below.
What is more interesting is that the CAS Constitutional Amendments, the ones NYU Local featured for restricting who can run for President and Treasurer in the future, passed. Without the vote totals, we don’t know how narrowly or strongly the amendments passed, but hopefully these tallies will be available in the future.
The Election results after the break.
President: Ali Accarino
Vice President: Noveen Ausat
Senator: Albert Cotugno
Alternate Senator: Benjamin Little
Treasurer: Dipesh Mehta
Student Advocacy Chair: Mason Braswell

@Phillip Really? That’s pathetic. I’m pissed I wasted my time reading the amendments one by one.

Yea Madeline it is pretty disappointing. When I voted for the amendments I thought I was actually making a difference.

I have heard of a few specific instances of of non CAS persons being able to vote for the CAS elections. How would one go about checking the record?

@Philip: Fault lies with with the Student Council rather than the CAS student body. You can’t blame CAS students for their lack of participation in an election that they never knew took place.

@Christopher: It is true that non-CAS students were allowed to vote in the election, but their votes were not counted towards the actual vote totals. The elections committee sifted through the net IDs of all voters and eliminated those that didn’t belong to CAS students.

Lets all trust the elections committee, sounds like a wonderful idea.

I know someone who worked with the election, and I was told that out of the entire CAS student body, around 260 people total voted. If that’s the case then its not really that surprising that every amendment passed, especially the ones restricting who can run for certain positions since it’s most likely the council members who were a majority of the voters.
