This week’s SGA meeting focused attention on some of the previous meeting’s issues to follow up with the progress made towards them.
Several SGA members have mentioned in previous meetings how currently there isn’t any space available on campus that is open 24-hours for student access. Treasurer Jessica Darst stated that the Faculty Senate members are working on the issue in terms of a building open 24-hours as well as some buildings extending hours.
Dr. Tim Pierson reflected on his experience traveling to Washington, D.C. on behalf of Longwood University to visit with the Debate Commission to discuss the upcoming debate in the fall of 2016.
Pierson said the meeting was geared more towards the general framework of how the debate will be run. The other schools holding a debate were also in attendance: Wright State University, Washington University, University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Pierson also said that a large number of student volunteers will be needed for the debate as well as a need for student involvement with the event.
SGA unanimously passed the motion to amend the Constitution of The Rotunda. This refers to Article 4, Section 1 as well as Article 4, Section 4 that will both be amended. Section 1 contains election and voting procedures while Section 4 contains the position of the secretary.
The SGA approved the motion to re-allocate $1,000 from Mortar Board for their band compensation because the paint they were seeking to use did not cost as much as they had planned.
The motion passed by SGA to allocate an additional $1,000 to Longwood Advanced Singers in addition to the $1,000 they received in the previous week’s meeting. This allocation is to fund their trip for eight members to go to Carnegie Hall in New York City, New York.
The next SGA meeting will be held Tuesday, November 17 at 3:45 p.m.
