Student Government Association President Tolu Olowomeye is asking for student feedback.
Olowomeye announced two opportunities for students to voice their opinions.
One will be an SGA-initiated forum discussing the possible Parental Notification Policy.
If enacted, the administration will notify parents about drug or alcohol violations of their under-21 students, whether those violations occurred on or off campus.
Students can voice their opinions and pose questions to the administrative task force, headed by Brian Farber. The forum will be held at 4 p.m. April 23 in Art and Journalism Building Room 175.
Another venue for student voice is the University Senate meeting at 4 p.m. April 25 in Teachers College Room 101. University Senate members will be voting on the method of governance restructuring. Olowomeye told Senators to do their best to get the voices of their constituents and encouraged them to attend.
"There is no way we can poll 18,000 students," Olowomeye said. "Forward what they say to us so we can represent the overall consensus and vote accordingly."
Students have been offered a chance to serve on a State Student Assistance Commission. The SSACI is in the process of nominating a new student commissioner who will be appointed by Gov. Frank O'Bannon.
The student will serve a two-year term and reimbursement for traveling expenses and the like, Olowomeye said. The commission discusses issues pertaining to higher education financial aid and costs.
Aside from these announcements, the meeting was dominated by nominations for many positions, including University Senate, Judicial Court, Student Senate and Credentials Board.
Credentials Board chairperson Katie Wiese stressed that University Senate committee positions are still available. One does not need to be an SGA member to apply.
