Georgetown Students Overwhelmingly Pass Performing Arts and Conduct Referendums
Georgetown students voted in favor of two referendums, one calling for a reform of the conduct process and another imploring the university to invest in the arts.
- The arts referendum, referred to as the STAGE Act, passed with 82% of the vote.
- The Restore Student Life Act, the conduct referendum, garnered 2533 votes, or 88% of those who voted.
Both votes reached the voter turnout threshold — 25% of the student body — which is required for a referendum to pass.
“It was so heartwarming throughout this process to hear how much students supported it,”
said Tina Solki (CAS ’26), the GUSA senator who introduced the STAGE Act.
