Students at Knox College in Galesburg, IL, have voiced their concerns about the questionable actions of Student Senators Sikandar Mateen and Manavi Subba for the 2025-2026 academic year. Many believe that these individuals have abused their authority, consistently favoring friends over more qualified candidates in crucial student areas such as employment, leadership positions, and housing selections.

The role of a student senator is to represent the entire student body, ensuring fairness and equality in all decisions that affect the community. However, their alleged favoritism has led to an atmosphere of distrust and inequality among students. This has not only harmed the college's community spirit but also undermined the values that Knox College stands for.

It is imperative for the integrity of the Knox College Student Senate that these senators be held accountable for their actions. By removing them from their respective positions, the Senate can restore its commitment to fairness and rebuild trust with the student body.

Your support is crucial. Sign this petition to call for the removal of Sikandar Mateen and Manavi Subba from the Knox College Student Senate, and help us advocate for transparency, equality, and justice on campus.
