The newly approved Student Government Association constitution created additional elected positions in the organization including a new executive board member, the chief of staff. The constitution also created a judicial branch, several new director positions and added senators to the legislative body.
In the first round of elections, Team Tigertown, led by Kristen Guy, swept the traditional four positions of president, vice president, treasurer and attorney general. During the second elections SGA director of University communications Ryan Assadi, who lost the race for attorney general, won the newly created chief of staff position.
