Maura Losh

Maura Losh served as a Student Association Representative during the 2017-18 academic year.

Expulsion
Losh was expelled from the Association on Jan. 22, 2018 by a 15-1 vote after charges were filed against her by fellow-Representative Kelsey Earle on the eve of the fall semester.

Earle, who graduated before Losh’s expulsion hearing, alleged “that [Losh] had once said she was showing up to a meeting only to vote down a particular pro-LGBT house motion; been overheard disparaging [the Association’s] diversity outreach efforts; attended assembly meetings in inappropriate attire; used inappropriate language to describe her job during [Association] office hours and that she had been ‘domineering’ towards [Association] committee chairs.”

Facing expulsion, Losh wrote to Student Association Parliamentarian Sean Mueller requesting that he issue a Parliamentary Opinion to answer the question of “...whether or not a Representative can bring another Representative up for review if the accuser graduates before the house meeting when the review meeting will take place.”

On Jan. 8, 2018, Mueller issued Parliamentarian Opinion 17-01, and the charges against Losh were allowed to be read.

The Supreme Court of Saginaw Valley later ruled that Losh's expulsion violated the Student Association By-laws. The court also partially reversed Mueller's parliamentary opinion.
