This is the second article of a three-part series on the Student Government Association's 2011 elections at the University of Memphis.

With the Student Government Association election less than two weeks away, controversial campaigning techniques from last year's election have raised ethical concerns about this year's campaigns.

At least eight and as many as 13 grievances were filed last year by the Making Visions Possible party in last year's election, according to SGA President Hunter Lang, who ran under the Finding Answers Concerning Everyone party. Some of the grievances pertained to posting flyers on vehicles and doors, actions deemed illegal by University policy and SGA election laws.

After the election, the MVP party demanded a revote and, according to Lang, both parties had acquired lawyers who were ready to argue the election results in student court. Lang said Cory Higdon, his opponent last year, dropped the charges the night before the scheduled hearing.
