On Jan. 27, the Student Government Association (SGA) held a General Body Meeting to go over an office hours proposal and event funding considerations, prior to the designated cohort time.
The meeting, held on Zoom due to weather concerns, commenced with a discussion on the recently introduced the Office Hours Act. This act proposes opening regular office hours with SGA members where students can express concerns, which received widespread support from the senators. After some debate, it was decided that further discussion would occur in the Internal Affairs cohort.
Next, funding was discussed for the upcoming “Looking For A Jayfriend” event. Funding was approved with an increased food budget than was previously agreed upon.
Regarding non-legislative items, the primary item was to recruit volunteers to represent SGA for the upcoming Spring Student Involvement Fair.
Finally, the meeting went to cohort time. The topics discussed within cohorts included creating accessible transportation around campus, publicizing course grade distributions and supporting clubs losing prominence due to a lack of training information being passed down. After this, the meeting adjourned for the night.
