This petition is formed to advocate on behalf of the student voice. Since the 2013-2014 Student Government Association and Royal court elections, candidates for these offices have not been able to use social media as a campaign tool. In a generation where social media thrives and is used for various objectives, the student body of Winston Salem State University feels as if their student voice is being oppressed and prohibiting candidates of this tool is dismantling creative control. Social Media will not only reach various student populations but also serve as a marketing tool for our dear university. Social media usage also promotes the objectives of SGA and Royal Court. This, in turn, increases the desirability of the offices, thus aiding in the efforts to increase Ram Pride a cross the student body. Although the objective of the ordinance was to promote personal engagement, prohibiting social media harms the student involvement we need to advance as a university. Social media is imperative in a world of new age technology and modern communication.
