Issues and Concerns


Obviously a concern that we can address.
Most people like the task forces and hope that
senators will choose an idea for a task force
that they are passionate for to work towards.
A taskforce for tuition increases will be
established
Also hoping to establish a finance committee
Allyson will send out a list of task forces for
senators to sign up for and get going on
Library-Jeremy from Biology has decided to
head the Library committee. Contact him if you
are interested in helping him!
Dean Cutwright from the library has already
taken Jeremy’s ideas into account. The library
will have extended hours, extra rooms for
studying, and a possible café in the library.
Some people need additional posters printed
for their departments. Contact Allyson ASAP if
this needs to be done.
