All of the curriculum proposal passed. The Peer Observation Form and Resolution did not.
While the Peer Observation Resolution won a clear majority of members present at the General Meeting, Council is bound by the Perez ruling that requires 50% + 1 majority of the entire governing body. This rule applies to all CUNY campus governing bodies. In our case, a “Perez majority” is 61 votes.
