School representation defies logic

Not that I have much investment in the outcome, but basing Student Senate representation on academic enrollment makes as little sense as basing it on student height or weight.

The Senate has no influence on academic matters at the University, so selecting its membership based on this criteria is inane. They do have some effect on student social life and this is best represented by where a student elects to live.
