More ways to be involved and make a c...
“If you want change, join SGA. Get involved.” This is essentially the message we received after hearing the news that the University Leader could be transformed from a weekly print publication to a bi-monthly, strictly online publication.
My response to this – and to the fact that we had less than 24 hours’ warning for this slap in the face – [...]
Process of SGA allocations flawed
In the wake of the SGA allocations debacle of last week, in which a number of student organizations had their funding cut for no expressed reason, it is important to assess what, exactly, went wrong with the process.
