New UW student constitution voted down

The Associated Students of Madison’s proposal for a new constitution was voted down earlier this week, ending plans for a new form of student government on the UW-Madison campus.

Of the 6,034 students who cast ballots Monday and Tuesday, 61.1 percent voted against the new constitution, while 38.9 percent voted for the new government — which would have been led by a popularly elected president.
