OSA 15-073
WHEREAS Wisconsin State Statute 36.09(5) gives the responsibility to university
student associations to review and offer recommendations for the policies concerning
student life, services and interests; and
WHEREAS The Oshkosh Student Association recognizes that the Basic Meal Plan and
the Deluxe Meal Plan offered by University Dining are not favored by the student body
due to the time restrictions for meal purchases; and
WHEREAS UW Eau Clare and UW La Crosse have unlimited access meal plans which
are more cost effective than the UW Oshkosh’s Basic Meal Plan and Deluxe Meal Plan;
and
WHEREAS An unlimited meal plan option would remove the pressure for students to
eat more food in one sitting, resulting in a more healthy campus dining atmosphere.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oshkosh Student Association encourages the
university administration to develop an unlimited access meal plan option to best
address the needs and wants of the student body; and
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED upon passage of the resolution a copy of resolution shall
be transmitted to the following; Dr. Petra Roter, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs,
Jean Kwaterski, Assistant to the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, Randy Hedge,
Director of University Dining, and Marty Strand, Assistant Director of University
Dining.
Sponsored by: Zachary Dunton, Vice President Pro Tempore
OSA 15-072
WHEREAS, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Student Association is given the task to represent
the interests of the student body;
WHEREAS, the Wisconsin State Legislature is proposing legislation that if passed will allow
concealed carry weapons in public university buildings in Wisconsin, and;
WHEREAS, the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh is devoted to the safety and wellbeing of the
student body, and;
WHEREAS, evidence does not support the idea that legally held firearms within a given area
provide a greater amount of safety, and;
WHEREAS, if enacted, legislation allowing concealed carry in campus buildings would further
compromise student safety and wellbeing;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh reject the ability
of any individual to carry concealed firearms, tasers, knives, and club within university
buildings, dormitories, and academic, recreational, and managerial facilities;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Student Association
declare their stance that concealed weapons such as firearms, tasers, knives and clubs have no
place in the classroom, are disruptive to the learning environment, and are not conducive to a
safe and productive learning institution;
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, upon
passage of the resolution a copy of resolution shall be
transmitted to the following; Dr. Andrew Leavitt, Chancellor, Dr. Lane Earns, Provost and Vice
Chancellor, Dr. Petra Roter, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, Jean Kwaterski, Assistant to
