After months of trials and tribulations, the Associated Students of Oregon State University Senate shutdown lift will be put to a vote Thursday. 

ASOSU has been shutdown since Feb. 28, 2025 due to a “systemic breakdown” and “harmful” environment, as stated in a message sent by Dan Larson, vice provost for Student Affairs. 

This lift was revealed to Kayla Ramirez, ASOSU president, and Masha Mogylevsky, ASOSU vice president, in a private meeting with the Oregon State University administration this morning.

Both Ramirez and Mogylevsky are optimistic about the future of ASOSU after this meeting.

“We of course are still a bit worried about keeping the conditions that were set in that meeting,” Mogylevsky said. 

The Senate will have a meeting Thursday to discuss the future plans of ASOSU. This includes the new constitution being put up as a bill, with a vote potentially occurring to institute it.

Ramirez believes that the iteration of the constitution presented to them was better than the previous iterations; however they are still concerned about some of the details.

“There is still a lot to be concerned about,” Ramirez said. “For example, the lack of independent offices, that’s a big point of concern.”

Ramirez said the lack of independent offices will have implications for the Student Fee Committee and the official record keeping division of ASOSU.

There are still decisions to be made about what will happen with the Student Fee Committee Chair as well. Mogylevsky said that now that the shutdown will be lifted, there can be discussions on how to move forward with that.

The Senate meeting will be at 5 p.m. Thursday. A link to the meeting can be found on the ASOSU Senate website.
