Wouldn't abstaining be effectively the same as a No vote?3rdFloorDyer wrote: ↑Sat Jul 24, 2021 7:49 am Read on another SEC team message board that Vandy typically abstains from votes on admission. Does anyone know if this is true? Why would we do this… Administrative athletic apathy?
per Robert's Rules (which I have no idea if the SEC follows) - Only if a certain percentage of voters present is required - but technically, an abstention means one is not voting. If it's merely a percentage of those voting, it's a non-vote.commadore wrote: ↑Sat Jul 24, 2021 1:55 pmWouldn't abstaining be effectively the same as a No vote?3rdFloorDyer wrote: ↑Sat Jul 24, 2021 7:49 am Read on another SEC team message board that Vandy typically abstains from votes on admission.

I was thinking someone said there had to be 11 votes to admit. On reflection it said 75% had to vote yes and that would be 11. However, 75% of 13 (rounded) would be 10.
