The Student Government Association (SGA) held a meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 2. During the meeting, two new members were added, Resolution 21-04 passed and two others were moved to old business.
New members
The Speaker of the House and Director of Academic Affairs positions were filled by two Wright State University (WSU) students Lacey Loges and Dawson Draper respectively.
The members waived Robert’s Rule for their voting in and instead voted via the chat. Because SGA currently hosts virtual meetings on WebEx, the meetings and regulations have been changed to accommodate the process.
Resolution 21-04
Resolution 21-04 dealt with adding a parking spot for expecting mothers and families with small children. This resolution was passed by SGA unanimously.
Resolution 21-06
This resolution was proposed by Jonathan Ciero and cosponsored by Emily Yantis-Houser and Chad Dudash. Dudash and Yantis-Houser proposed the increase and implementation of inclusive, all-gender restrooms.
“‘[We] requested that all major buildings on campus include all-gender multiuse restrooms,” said Dudash.
The resolution was voted into old business and will be voted on in the next meeting.
Resolution 21-07
Resolution 21-07 was created by Loges and it advocates for the Raider Food Pantry to include food for students with emotional support and service animals.
“I know we have a big community that includes service animals on campus, especially because we have Four Paws and such. I thought it would be a very important thing that we include some type of resource for the animals,” said Loges.
This resolution was also moved to old business. Several of the SGA members said that they would cosign as sponsors to both Resolution 21-07 and Resolution 21-06.
SGA meetings are held every Tuesday at 7 p.m. via WebEx; all students are welcome to attend
