Senators conducted business as usual Wednesday during the Ball State University Student Government Association meeting.Caucuses and committees met to continue discussing campus issues and to provide updates on other matters.Because the senators did not give caucus reports the meeting lasted about 45 minutes; however, the committee chairpersons gave their reports so here is a breakdown of what was mentioned:
Academic Affairs: Carson Lance informed the rest of SGA that the committee forgot to take into account Dead Week for summer sessions, but discussions were made regarding that and legislation would be written soon.
Community/Environmental Affairs: Kyle Johnson said the tentative date for fall cleanup would be Nov. 10. He still needs to speak with Ball State's groundskeepers to see what all can be done, he said.
Student Safety: Carrie Cozad said she met with Director of Public Safety Gene Burton and two options were discussed for reducing speeding by Woodworth Complex. One involved making the lane closest to the residence hall an unloading dock and the other was making it metered parking. Cozad said the legislation would be written soon on that issue. She said she also looked into getting a Blue Box on the Cow Path closer to LaFollette Complex, and she was looking into getting a stop sign by the parking garage near Woodworth Complex also to help reduce speeding cars.
Student Services: Matt Walker said progress is being made to make the Quad sidewalks more even. He said he also was looking at getting benches placed in front of the Burkhardt Building at the southbound bus stop.In other reports, SGA President Pro-Tempore Kyle Ellis said he was meeting with Mike Campbell about improving the parking ticket appeal process, which was a platform item for U.N.I.T.E.D. Initiative.
