Council notes Robert C. White's recusal; Uniform College Athlete NIL amendment passes unanimously
Summary
Councilmember Robert C. White filed a written recusal from Bill 20-61-175 (Uniform College Athlete Name, Image, or Likeness Amendment Act of 2025) citing his compensated adjunct role at Georgetown University Law Center; the Council recorded the recusal and approved the bill unanimously.
Chair Phil Mendelson read Councilmember Robert C. White's written recusal before consideration of Bill 20-61-175. The recusal text stated, in part, "I, Council Member Robert C. White, hereby provide notice of my recusal in the following matter before the council effective 10/21/2025 ... I am currently an adjunct professor at Georgetown University Law Center ... Because I have received compensation from Georgetown University and anticipate continuing my professional affiliation, I'm recusing myself to avoid any conflict of interest or appearance thereof."
The Council then moved and voted on Bill 20-61-175; the ayes were unanimous, and the secretary noted that Mr. Robert White was recused from participation on this matter.
