Student Senate voted 13-12 against recalling last semester's vote that approved a resolution in favor of the Blugold Commitment.
In order to pass the recall, a two-thirds vote was needed, which would have required at least 17 senators to vote in favor of rescinding the resolution.
According to a Dec. 10 Spectator article, the resolution supported increasing tuition $1,200 over four years with 40 percent of that going to financial aid.
The Blugold Commitment will go before the Board of Regents this Thursday and Friday for final approval. For previous articles about this topic, visit www.spectatornews.com. For full coverage of tonight's meeting, see Thursday's edition of The Spectator.
