SA Update

The SA is considering putting rules into place to limit conflicts of interest between senate legislation and student organizations that senators are involved with.

The Senate met last night at 9:00pm in the Marvin Center for its 5th regular meeting, to consider SB-F08-04, a bill sponsored by Steve Glatter that would limit the ability of senators to participate in debate regarding bills in which they have a perceived conflict of interest. The bill posits that “voting members of the student association senate shall not participate in debate of bills or amendments particular to the appropriations for student organizations of which they are an executive financial officer.”

Also, the Office of the EVP has created a survey of student concerns going into Thanksgiving Break, which consists of only 4 questions and can be accessed via the SA homepage. The survey allows you to rate various aspects of life at GW, such as costs, entertainment options, housing, campus spirit, athletic events, dining hours, cost of food, faculty and internship availability, as well as overall academic experience.
