Low attendance prevented Student Congress members from solidifying a redistricting plan Tuesday after the Rules and Judiciary Committee had spent several hours hammering out ideas in preparation for debate.
The committee had planned to present each proposal for discussion as an amendment to the current arrangement during full Congress' last meeting of the semester.
Members ultimately decided that it would be best to address redistricting with more members present.
"I love useless banter as much as anyone else, but now's not the time," said Ethics Committee Chairman Parker Wiseman.
After reaching quorum, members voted to approve the current redistricting plan - which the Student Code requires to be evaluated every two years.
The Rules and Judiciary Committee is set to present redistricting proposals to full Congress again next semester.
During its meeting earlier last week, the committee devised a system of filling Congress seats reserved for graduate and professional students.
Graduate and professional students currently represent 39 percent of the student population, but year after year their Congress seats remain empty.
Instead of requiring graduate and professional students to represent each school separately, the committee proposed pooling all of the seats together and allowing representatives from any of the schools to represent all graduate students at the University.
