The HUCSC General Assembly met on February 1, 2026 over Zoom with quorum present. The main item of discussion was the appointment of a new Vice-President Student Affairs following Sophia Aitken’s resignation (officially January 29, after completing duties December 1). Members raised questions about transparency, the interim election process, and bylaws, and it was clarified that because the bylaws do not outline a specific procedure for this situation and given the timing of the resignation, the Executive team internally elected Bella Buckley, previously AVP Student Affairs, due to her familiarity with the role and capacity to take it on. Bella will assume the position for the full term (not interim), her Philosophy Representative seat will be vacated, and it was noted that the publicly available GA Minutes will serve as notification to students alongside any further communications
