What is a student referendum?
A referendum is defined as “the principle or practice of referring measures proposed or passed by a legislative body to the vote of the electorate for approval or rejection” (dictionary.com).
Consequently, a Student Referendum is the opportunity for all UH students to vote for or against an initiative – in this case the UC Transformation Project.
