Student Government President Dan Breitbarth discussed at Wednesday’s meeting the actions being considered for the political protests in the parking lot during the Cy-Hawk game.

In his executive update, Breitbarth said he talked to university administration  to figure out what actions can be taken in regard to these events.

Breitbarth also said Leath is planning to host an open forum that will address the wellness of multicultural students on campus.

The Senate discussed a bill that would allow student organizations to petition for funding from College Constituency Councils as well as Student Government. As of now, student organizations are not allowed to request funding from both entities, but one or the other.

It also discussed a bill about ISU Bowling, which requests an amount of $3,081.55 that will be used to add two additional teams to its competitive competition series because of an increase in student interest.

A bill regarding the Puerto Rican Student Association (PRSA) was discussed by the Senate to provide $1,700 for PRSA’s Puerto Rican Cultural Night. This event will be open and free to all students.

The Senate will vote on these bills during its next meeting.
