TCU Elections uncontested

Two new Tufts Community Union (TCU) officials were added to the student government Sunday. Neither candidate went through the election process, as only two candidates expressed interest in running for the two available seats.

Sophomores Nicholas Boyd and Athena Bogis, were nominated to the TCU Judiciary (TCUJ) and the TCU Senate, respectively.

Because Boyd and Bogis were the only two who were attendees at the general interest meeting, the vote scheduled for Tuesday was cancelled. TCU Senate Constitution does not provide for a vote of no confidence.

Boyd heard about the open seat from a friend and "felt that this would be a good opportunity to do something for Tufts."

The main theme of Boyd's goals for the TCU is removing inefficiency, he said. One of these issues he says is the organization's website. "I have website experience and am interested in this aspect of communication."

In addition, he views the club application process as burdensome. "I know from starting a club, the forms are outdated, and it is complicated process," he said.

Boyd will be replacing Riyadh Mohammed on the TCUJ who resigned for personal reasons.

Bogis will be replacing Alex Mendell who passed away last month.

Bogis did not immediately respond to inquiries for comment.
