Today, the UNF Supreme Court found Senate President Rachel Saunders not in violation of two previous charges against her including Title X 1002.1, or Title VII 702.1 (discrimination and malfeasance). Saunders is found in violation of Title VII 702.1 C or “Neglect of Duty,” according to the SG report. Articles of Impeachment are being recommended to the Legislator.

This violation stems from the event of inappropriate remarks made by Senators in a GroupMe chat during an emergency senate hearing.

Legislation must be passed to “clarify the meaning of ‘duty to act,’ specifically in the context of a group chat in which leadership is involved, the majority are party members, and in which official business is discussed,” the report concluded.
