The legislation passed by the Resident Student Association on Wednesday regarding the Student Disciplinary Bill of Rights was passed by the Student Senate today. We don't have the exact vote count for you, but as someone present for the recorded vote, I can report that not a single Senator voted against the legislation. There was not, however a X-0-0 count like RSA had on Wednesday as some Senators abstained from the vote.

Who abstained and why are they pansies who can't cast a vote of 'yes' or 'no' in one direction?
The vote was NOT a recorded vote, and thus we don't know who abstained. However, the right of a member to abstain is protected by Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised, and there are some cases when abstaining is actually the proper and honorable thing to do.
