Issues like the prospective athletics fee increase and food services committee, chancellor and student organization coordinator searches were discussed at last Thursday's Student Government Association meeting.
The athletics fee is moving forward with SGA President James Orr appointing a committee to help "spread the word" about this referendum. Members of this committee will consist of members from SGA as well as other campus groups so that they "can reach out to all students about this information," said Orr. The sole responsibility of this committee is to create and place an ad in The Pacer that is meant to educate the students on this referendum.
Orr signed this proposal to go in as a referendum for the upcoming elections because he felt that "it was something the student body should vote for or against." The concept for the student vote came from the Procedures Committee and Orr sided with their recommendation.
After some revisions were made, a Food Services Committee was approved. Orr said that this committee was "to better suit the students."
Information regarding the upcoming student forum taking place April 9-12 at 7:30 p.m. was given. According to Orr, 67 applicants will be screened with the hopes of narrowing the number down to just five candidates.
"The student forums are important for students. You can evaluate these candidates, ask questions and get important feedback. We're really going to listen. We have to get feedback from students on our next chancellor," Orr said.
This week and next week, there will be Student Life-sponsored student forums regarding the search for a student organization coordinator. David Belote, assistant vice chancellor of student affairs, is heading up the search.
Currently, David Taylor is serving as the interim student organization coordinator after Laura Humphrey vacated the position in February.
