'''Finding.''' Lead entry for administrative overreach into the independent Herzing Online Student Nurses Association (HOSNA), documented in the SNA Board Leadership Teams chat (May 1 to 4, 2026) and the SNA email chain. The tracked problems are {{HU|HU-053a}} (administration prohibited the organization from maintaining a member distribution list and directed it to route communications through program chairs) and {{HU|HU-053b}} (administration directed membership processes and cited bylaw requirements that board members could not locate in the actual governing document). The board's position is that HOSNA is a completely independent organization. See each sub-issue for full evidence and standards.

'''Evidence.''' SNA Board Leadership Microsoft Teams Chat; SNA Email Chain (Apr to May 2026); HOSNA Chapter Bylaws (2026); SNA Membership Roster (June 2025); NSNA Shared Governance Document (2024); SNA Transition Letter (Student B).

'''Notes.''' Membership roster submitted June 2025 documents 42+ active members; the outgoing president's transition letter confirms the SNA is independent. Split into lettered sub-issues 2026-06-06. Existing references to {{HU|HU-053}} resolve here. Parts: {{HU|HU-053a}}, {{HU|HU-053b}}. Cross-references: {{HU|HU-054}} (screen-reader email barrier affecting SNA communications), {{HU|HU-055}} (faculty-advisor responsiveness).
