The YU Student Constituion requires that the "The SOY/JSC President must live either in a University dormitory or apartment or RIETS apartment."
RIETS students are allowed to serve as the President of SOY but would then be required to be pay the cost of undergraduate housing. As current President of SOY, Jason Jacobs was a undergraduate student for the Fall 2009 semester and lived in housing. Now, during the Spring 2010 semester, Jason has graduated and has moved to a private apartment and is facing removal from his position. The requirement to live in University housing while in RIETS is unfair and is financially not feasible.
To support Jason, sign here:
The weight of this housing requirement is forcing people to choose between serving the student body and maintaining basic financial stability. I have been spending my time meeting with administration to challenge this policy while your signatures continue to show that this rule is completely out of step with our current reality.

Seeing this level of support for Jason reminds me that people recognize how unfair this housing rule truly is. This momentum proves that our community values his leadership over these cold bureaucratic restrictions.

Financially not feasible is the key phrase here. Stop making it harder for student leaders to do their jobs.

This rule is so outdated. Jason is doing a great job and deserves to finish his term regardless of where he lives.

Total nonsense. Why force him to pay for a dorm he doesnt need just to hold a position he already earned? Let him stay!

Jason has been the best president we've had in years. Forcing him out over housing is just petty politics.

Just let him finish the year. He already did the work to get elected.
