The Student Government Association announced at its March 22 meeting that the Faculty Senate has approved its Mandatory Syllabus Policy. The approval of this bill represents a significant increase in the influence of the SGA in determining IUS policies. “I believe this is the first piece of legislation the Faculty Senate has approved that has been put forward by the SGA,” Kevin Evans, secondary education junior, SGA vice president and the bill’s sponsor, said.

The Student Government Association held its meeting on Nov. 17 and swore in four new senators. The senators, Drew Apple, criminal justice and political science sophomore, Shanda Webb, special education freshman, Micaela Dale, business management and marketing junior, and Ashley Kern, secondary education freshman, were told to make two goals they wanted to accomplish as senators. One goal Apple came up with was having students who have a concealed carry license to be able to carry their weapons on campus. Webb said she would like to better organize the various parking lots.
