Meeting Monday: Net neutrality, elections
Update: The game doesn’t start until 9:21 pm! That’s plenty of time to come to our awesome meeting beforehand! Go Gators
Our meeting Monday will be our last general meeting for the academic year. The meeting will take place at 6:30 pm on Monday, April 2 in the Johnson Lounge, Reitz Union room 121. Refreshments will be served.
We will have elections for our officers for the 2007-08 school year. All offices will be up for elections (i.e. President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, Public Relations Director). Any student who has been to two meetings this year is eligible to vote. Similarly, anyone who’s been to two meetings this year is eligible to run for office (assuming you’re in good standing with the university). This meeting will count toward that requirement, so if you’ve been to a previous meeting this year, you’ll be eligible to vote and/or to run for office. If you have any questions, we’ll discuss them at the meeting.
After the elections, we’ll have a talk on Net neutrality by Dr. Subhajyoti Bandyopadhyay, a professor in UF’s department of Decision and Information Sciences. Dr. Bandyopadhyay is the author of a recent study that concluded that abandoning Net neutrality would discourage ISPs from improving service.
