A Petition by Students of the University of Michigan-Dearborn and Supporters

We Hereby Demand, that the University of Michigan-Dearborn uphold the choice made by the student body in voting for and electing the 2019-2020 Student Government Leaders, and prevent the enforcement of unwritten rules established upon the whims of the University Administration.

• 
  Whereas, the published results of the election show that the WOW party had more than double the votes than the opposing party.
• 
  Whereas, after these results were published, dozens of unsubstantiated allegations against the WOW party presidential elects were filed.
• 
  Whereas, under the jurisdiction of the Dean of Students, secret, closed-door meetings of these allegations denied all due process opportunity to defend.
• 
  Whereas, the student elected President was then “disqualified” without explanation or evidence over what amounted to a few flyers on a table.

Therefore, we demand the University of Michigan administration and  Board of Regents protect the Constitutional Rights of students and all members of the community, and immediately reverse the arbitrary “disqualification” of the duly-elected student body president, and declare its commitment to transparency and fulfill its purpose to serve students.
