Date of Decision Thursday, November 24, 2022
Final Decision In a 3-0 unanimous decision, the Supreme Court rules the executive memorandum, executed on July 20th, 2022, is null and void under Sec. 4.3 of the Student Community Constitution, because the memorandum was used to take a partisan stance and was not in the interest of the whole student body. Furthermore, the court concluded that the leadership team of the Student Government has the right to execute executive memorandums only if it shares an expressed feeling per Sec. 2.5 of the Constitution, is nonpartisan, does not take a stance, and is in the interest of the whole student body at the University of Texas at Arlington.
