Senate Meeting!
We’re all hanging out at the weekly Senate meeting which is 9:15PM in the Business School on Wednesdays.
The body talked about a lot of interesting things today. People presented on student performing practice space on campus, Career Center accountability, the drastic changes in the Engineering School, and whether SU will support a sober driver program that shuttles people to and from nightlife hotspots in St. Louis.
The current topic of discussion is the Executive Restructuring and it’s getting heated! Treasury wanted more checks within the Executive regarding how they vote on policy issues. Some members of the Senate believe that the Executive (President, VP, Treasurer, Secretary) should be able to govern itself without a check put on it by the legislative.
Eventually, this will be put up to a vote to the student body (through webSTAC). If you’re interested in SU checks and balances, who has power and who does not, as well as the tensions between the Executive and Legislative, come to our meetings. Tuesday at 9PM in the Business School - Treasury. Wednesday at 9:15PM
Hell, if you have any issues at all - be it from food options on campus to a general skepticism on how we spend your $328, come to our meetings and speak up during open forum.
Take care!
