Couldn't think of a better idea! Some background: On Thursday, I authorized the $2 million transfer to start providing relief immediately. The UW Administration blocked it, citing failure to comply with SYS 820 I.B.(3)d. So we looked into this policy and found a solution... (1/2) https://twitter.com/UWBIPOCCo/status/1356357325314002945

Per this policy, students cannot receive direct financial aid for room & board unless they are a "student government leader". To address this, we're creating the Mask Ambassador position, which any student can hold.

If UW blocks this again, there's some #mixedmessages (2/3)

We've called an emergency Special Session of the Student Council tomorrow at 7pm. If you can, please consider showing up in support.
