Student government to debate funding, amend impeachment process
February 5, 2019
After last week’s cancellation, Student Government will catch up on a funding bill and bylaw amendment as well as the seating of a new senator Wednesday.
Chabad on Campus, a student organization aimed at providing a traditional Jewish experience and a home away from home for Jewish students and the student body as a whole, is requesting $3,050 to host an event called “Memories of a Child Survivor of the Holocaust.”
The funding would help to cover the food, lodging and travel for the speaker, as well as the standard speaker’s fee.
The Senate will also see a bylaw amendment to “Reflect Accurate Impeachment Process for Election Commission”. The bill, introduced by Speaker Cody Woodruff and Vice Speaker Kelsey Culbertson, aims to update the current bylaws to reflect the Election Commission’s change to a student organization.
Zach Mass, a junior in software engineering, will be seated as a voting senator on the Interfraternity Council (IFC) prior to the resignation of the previous IFC senator.
Ten items of new business will be read in, eight of which are funding bills.
