Democratic backsliding need not only occur in national governments. Regional to the most local governments, and even NGOs, non-state actors and businesses can suffer from democratic backsliding. Many experts have stated the politico- penal– industrial– media complex at East Carolina University as a prime example. [8] [9] [10] [11] Some forms of constitutionally protected free speech the university said 'will not be tolerated' [12], prompting a faculty vote on a free speech resolution. [13] In another example, in late August 2019 Google sent an email to all employees to stop discussing politics at work. [14] [15] [16]
Nomic is a game in which the rules of the game include mechanisms for the players to change those rules. I want to play a general version that currently is not named, but when it is given a generally accepted name I will replace this part of the sentence with it, where instead of allowing voting on rules, splits into two sub-games, one with the rule, and one without it.

East Carolina University Student Government Association is the student union of East Carolina University. The ECUSGA, stylized as ECU SGA or ECU_SGA is a student-run government founded in 1947 to provide a voice for students when dealing with administration of the East Carolina University (ECU). The motto of the ECU SGA is "Service, Governance, and Advocacy", representing the organization's commitment to the university's student body in a broad array of areas. The SGA was restructured in 2016, transitioning to a one-branch advocacy model of governance, administrated by a new constitution and bylaws. Its highest ranking official, the Student Body President, serves as an ex officio member of the Board of Trustees of East Carolina University. [17] ECU's SGA is associated with the SGA's of 16 other campuses in the University of North Carolina System as part of the University of North Carolina Association of Student Governments (UNCASG). [18]
Unlike most universities in the United States student governance in the dormitories ( RHA) and the ( Student Government) are fully separate organizations.
As part of the 2016 restructure, the main legislative body of the ECU SGA is the Student Assembly, which is composed of sixty elected representatives. It represents both undergraduate and graduate students housed in all academic units of ECU. The Student Assembly is chaired by a Speaker, who sits on an Executive Council along with the Student Body President and other executive officers. The SGA Office will be located in the university's new Student Center beginning in 2019.
Student Body Presidents Keri Brockett (elected 2007)(most recent madam President), Drew Griffin (elected 2008), Brad Congleton (elected 2009), Tremayne Smith (elected 2010)(African American), Josh Martinkovic (elected 2011), Justin Davis (elected 2012)(resigned), Tim Schwann (elected 2013), Michael King (elected 2014)(resigned), Jake Srednicki (replaced Michael King)(2015), Mark Matulewicz (elected 2015) had served prior to the 2016 election which replaced the SGA contitution to it's current form.
In 2016 the federal structure of ECU SGA changed conforming to the 2016 Constitution's restructure which is still currently in effect. It shifted from a presidential system of 3 branches (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial), to a semi-presidential system of roughly 1 branch (combined Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches as an "assembly") that removed the judiciary added in the 2013 constitution. Presidential tickets now have 2 executive officers (President and Vice President) which must run together on the same ticket where voters do not have the option to vote "split ticket". Previously, presidential tickets had up to 4 executive officers (President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary) who could opt to run together on the same ticket, or alternatively as individuals running solo for executive offices unaffiliated with other candidates, which although was very rare did occur at least once. Voters had have the option to vote "split ticket" for candidates across competing campaigns for executive office under the previous constitution.
The Student Government Association constitution was replaced and ratified on April 5, 2013 in a student referendum winning 2,617 votes for to 687 votes against.
