Deanna Santoro, speaker of Student Congress, resigned this morning in order to pursue a lawsuit against the Board of Elections for “refusing to acknowledge legitimate complaints and ignoring serious violations against the Student Code,” she said in an e-mail to members of the body.
Title VI, Article IV, Section 408 of the Student Code prohibits the speaker from speaking out against any campaign or candidate.
Santoro said in the e-mail she plans to pursue a lawsuit today against the board to the Student Supreme Court.
Zach De La Rosa, chairman of the rules and judiciary committee, said the court might issue an injunction to suspend Tuesday’s election.
