3 | Passed student vote | 02/24/26 | 14th | The Legislative Compensation Equity and Structurak Modernization (LCESM) | Referendum | Continuing | This referenda seeks to amend Article X of the HUSA Constitution to establish the position of HUSA Senate Chief of Staff as a stipend receiving hired student leader and proportionally adjust all pay rates to ensure total compensation does not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the Central Stipend Budget. The objective of this amendment is to formalize and modernize the administrative structure of the Senate by recognizing the operational workload of the Chief of Staff while ensuring constitutional fiscal compliance and equitable compensation. | Chief of Staff Ridley | Sen.

4 | Passed student vote | 02/24/26 | 14th | Reports in Order to Get Stipends | Referendum | Continuing | Howard University has 129 paid student leaders. These leaders get various amounts of the student activity fee as a reimbursement of their hard work and dedication put forth to Howard University students. The report initiative took place at Howard University during the pre-Covid pandemic time. Due to the transition period from hybrid learning, this initiative ended. Bringing this system back would allow students to prove how they fulfilled their responsibility for the position that they were appointed or elected to prior to receiving compensation. Student Affairs can hold student leaders accountable by utilizing the reports as a way to measure how student leaders are completing their responsibilities. Too often, compensation is awarded based on title rather than performance, allowing some student leaders to neglect their responsibilities while still receiving payment. This reporting requirement establishes compensation eligibility based on documented performance and accountability. | AG Owolabi, Assoc. AG Papailler | Sen. Taino, Sen.

5 | Passed student vote | 02/24/26 | 14th | Reduce the Amount of Bills HUSA Senators are Required to Write | Referendum | Continuing | The HUSA Senate is responsible for representing all student councils of schools and colleges established by the Howard University Board of Trustees. Its role is to collectively address student issues and concerns and to exercise all powers granted to it, except those specifically designated to the policy board. husa senators are currently required to write at least two pieces of legislation during their time in office. This requirement results in over 40 pieces of legislation being introduced and enacted, many of which can be seen as unnecessary. The pressure to meet this quota encourages legislation to be placed on the floor simply to fulfill a requirement rather than to address a real need. With about 40 senators, this rule means the Senate could have as many as 40 bills in a year if everyone decides to write one, or fewer bills if many senators instead choose to oversee bills rather than write them. However, many of these bills focus on programming, professional development initiatives, or similar ideas, which do not reflect the core responsibilities of a senator. Several pieces of legislation ultimately fall through or lack long-term impact. Removing or revising this requirement would allow senators to focus their time and effort on maintaining and strengthening recurring legislation that is actually effective and beneficial to students | AG Owolabi, Assoc.
