Student Senate

Student Activity Fees were once again the main topic of discussion at this week’s senate meeting.  

An increase in the amount of student activity fees was once again a topic of discussion during Monday night’s meeting of the student senate.  

After a lengthy discussion, senate passed a unanimous 11-0 vote to approve  $4,000 for the social science club to bring rapper Ali Tomineek to campus as a part of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.  

After tabling last week’s $6,600 travel request from Revive because of what it said was a lack of information, senate approved the measure, 6-4, at Monday’s meeting. Two senators abstained.  

Senate tabled a $6,638 request from Revive at the meeting Monday. The request would provide funds for 24 people to attend a Christian profession/personal development retreat. Senators agreed that the request was rather large and would vote on it when more in depth information on the retreat was provided from Revive.  

This week senate discussed its recent trip to Peru State College and began looking at dates to reschedule the Eli Young Concert.  

This week, senate discussed the student trustee application and homecoming attendance.

At this week’s senate meeting, more club trip budgets were approved while cuts were made to other clubs’ budgets.
