At the last meeting of the Student Government Association Senate, legislation regulating information on the BSU@work Web site was tabled.
The legislation, written by Sen. Chris Borkowski, was tabled for further discussion. Sen. Nick Loving explained: "The legislation is very well-written. There were concerns about places inside it where people could find some implications."
The delay of this legislation is disappointing, but SGA is to be commended for tackling issues that are important to students.
SGA began the year by deciding to give away hot dogs to students attending the first home football game of the school year -- a questionable start to the school year.
The BSU@work legislation is an exciting step forward. Identity theft has been a topic of discussion since the school year began, and students concerned with the issue will likely be comforted by knowing SGA is taking steps to help them. Now, SGA must follow through. Hopefully, the concerns of certain senators will be addressed and the legislation will pass.
The other concern, of course, is whether or not the legislation will do anything once it reaches University Senate, or if it will be voted down there, just like so much of SGA's legislation? This is a problem with much of what SGA tries to do -- the university does not let the students have very much power at all. It's a problem that should be addressed.
Campus administrators should take SGA a little more seriously. Sometimes, it helps to listen to the people who know what it's like to be a student.
