This week’s SGA meeting included discussion of some concerns about decreasing student attendance at football games as well as events for the week of the presidential election.
Brandon Etheredge, Eagle Eye TV assistant news director, took open floor time to discuss some of the events for election week.
“This Wednesday night, we’re partnering with the College Republicans, the College Democrats and the Young Americans for Liberty for a debate,” Etheredge said. “We’ll be streaming it live on our Youtube channel and the event is open to anyone who wants to come at Foy Hall.”
EVP of Programs Hunter Gibson brought up concerns about students buying football tickets and not attending the games during executive announcements.
“We had at least 14,500 tickets distributed and only just under 10,000 swipes [at the Arkansas game],” Gibson said. “Almost 5,000 people had a ticket and didn’t come.”
College of Business Senator Reed Adams reported on the feedback the college received after their recent survey.
“Within the College of Business, the main two things people want to see changed were dining and scheduled empty rooms for study spaces, especially during exam week,” Adams said. “So we’ll be back out there Thursday at 2 p.m., in the hallways, collecting data and passing out the rest of the convocation shirts.”
