SGA held their weekly senate on Monday Sept. 21 where they continued discussions on the course catalog resolution.
The resolution was presented last week by Benjamin Arnberg, graduate school senator, Peyton Hanson, COSAM senator, and Jacqueline Keck, liberal arts senator and academic affairs committee chair.
This resolution will recommend the creation of a course catalog so when students go to register, they can make informed decisions.
The senate voted on the resolution and the bill passed after several senators voiced their support for it.
“I also support this … I think we should vote yes because I think it’s really an awesome opportunity,” said Trey Fields, liberal arts senator and student affairs committee chair.
Graham Schmidt, business senator, also voiced his support and urged fellow senators to approve the bill.
“I would also agree with all these guys in saying that there’s not really a downside to passing this,” Schmidt said. “If anything it’s just gonna be able to help students."
Now that the senate has passed this resolution, it will be presented to Provost’s office and the Registrar for approval.
SGA resolutions on academic policy can’t be implemented without approval from administration, according to Benjamin Arnberg.
India Way, business senator and budget and finance committee chair, reported to the senate to let them know that after three hours of discussion last week, the budget hearings will continue Tuesday, Sept. 22.
Fields also reported on behalf of his committee.
The “It’s On Us” campaign, a program that raises awareness on sexual assault, will be publicized by SGA next month along with Green Dot as a supplementary program.
“We’re going to have a huge publicity push toward the end of October” Fields said.
The senate concluded with Justin Mathews’, SGA Vice President, address.
Mathews reminded senators that Walker Byrd, SGA President, will be giving a State of the Student Body Address Tuesday September 29 at 7 p.m. in the Student Center Ballroom.
According to Mathews, the event will be partnered with Auburn UPC and Ben Baker, director of governmental relations, will also be speaking.
