The Student Government Association (SGA) met in person and through WebEx on Tuesday, March 23 to discuss three resolutions that impact Wright State University (WSU) students.
Resolution 21-08
A resolution to commend the WSU women’s basketball team on their March 22 tournament win against Arkansas and their successful season was introduced during the March 16 meeting by Residential Senator Jonathan Ciero. SGA voted to table this resolution until the women’s basketball team exits the tournament through either an elimination or winning the whole event. They hope to invite the players and coaches to receive this commendation.
Resolution 21-09
Resolution 21-09 endorses a partnership between the university and Spin, a scooter-sharing company. Already in place at colleges such as the University of Akron, Ohio State University and Ohio University, this partnership would allow WSU students to use the scooters to travel around campus quickly. This resolution is sponsored by Student Body President Adrian Williams and Vice President Joseph York, and co-sponsored by Ciero.
“This is not a binding commitment saying that this will happen,” Williams said. “This is simply taking the steps we need to make sure that we are getting the ball started if we decide this is something we want to do as a student body.”
SGA passed the resolution.
Resolution 21-10
The second resolution introduced at this week’s meeting advocates for free feminine sanitary products, including pads and tampons, in all WSU restrooms. This resolution is sponsored by Director of Inclusive Excellence Chinenyenwa Amagwu and co-sponsored by Williams, and was passed during the meeting.
Elections
Faculty Senate President Dr. Laura Luehrmann announced that her vice president, Dr. Brian Boyd, will be serving as the Faculty Senate president for the next two years. Lake Campus English professor Megan Faragher will become the Faculty Senate vice president.
Voting for this year’s SGA elections will end on Thursday, March 25 at 5 p.m. Students can vote by logging into WINGS and clicking on the SGA election announcement on the homepage.
SGA meets in person in 005 Student Success Center and over WebEx every Tuesday at 7 p.m. Members of the public are welcome to attend meetings virtually.
