Are you planning on taking a class here at UNI this summer? NISG enocurages you to take time this week to register for those summer classes, especially for those that will be offered during the May term. On March 15, Deans of the various colleges may choose to cancel May term courses with low enrollments. On April 15, June and July term classes with low enrollments could be cancelled as well. Please take the time to register for summer classes, even if you are not positive you will take them. You may always remove a class from your schedule at a later date (as long as it is before the first day of class) with no penalty. 

If you are seriously considering taking a course this summer but are not yet ready to register for the course, you may also write to the instructor for the course to indicate your interest. Please share this news with your classmates and encourage them to register for classes as soon as possible!

As results of the election that took place last week (Tuesday, February 22nd and Wednesday, February 23rd) have been finalized, the Northern Iowa Student Government (NISG) Election Commission has ruled that the Walrath/Goldsmith ticket has clearly won the election.

The ruling of the NISG Election Commission also fully pardons Speaker Kevin Shannon and Senator Trevor Boeckmann for any actual or potential incorrect actions and officially cancels the special elections that were scheduled to happen this week.

“I’m glad we could make a decision to correct this mistake.” Remarked NISG Election Commissioner Gage Rewerts. “The work of the (NISG Election) Commission has corrected the situation and we have showed that in this time of confusion, common sense can prevail.”

Please continue to follow NISG at www.uni.edu/nisg for the most accurate details regarding this matter.

Any questions or comments will be directed to Spencer C. Shireman, Director of Public Relations for NISG. He may be reached at shiremas@uni.edu.

As results of the election that took place last week (Tuesday, February 22nd and Wednesday, February 23rd) continue to be analyzed, discrepancies have been found amongst the results. These contested findings have been narrowed to specific issues found within the ballots used during elections.

The Northern Iowa Student Government (NISG) Election Commission will be convening tonight (Monday, February 28th) at 9:30 in the NISG office to address these discrepancies.

The finding of these issues within the ballots cast in no way overturns the election results from last week. The action to be taken with these recent findings will be the prerogative of the NISG Election Commission, which will be meeting in the aforementioned location at the aforementioned time.

More details will be made available as they are discovered. NISG will be bringing updates not only in the form of press releases, but on social media also. Please continue to follow NISG for the most accurate details regarding this matter.

Any questions or comments will be directed to Spencer C. Shireman, Director of Public Relations for NISG. He may be reached at shiremas@uni.edu.
