The Landing (Yes) Referendum

Q&A: The Landing seeks $1.50 per semester to increase services, space

The Landing is a safe space for gender and sexual diversity support and education. They’re asking students for a $1.50 fee per student to fund their operations. Since it’s a referendum, a 50% “Yes” vote is legally binding.

Single Source Cold Beverage Agreement (Yes) Plebiscite

Q&A: Plebiscite question to gauge student opinion on new beverage deal

Opinion: Beverage agreement opposers miss benefits of supporting the plebiscite

The SU wants to enter into another single source cold beverage agreement. This means only one drink brand will be for sale on campus in exchange for over $3 million dollars in scholarships and other funding, and more. Since it’s a plebiscite, it’s meant to gauge student opinion and is not legally binding.
