SGA unscheduled meeting results in conflicting statements on unicameral proposal
The Student Government Association’s e-board released conflicting statements about the status of a unicameral proposal after calling an unscheduled meeting Thursday.
“After reviewing the concerns of the student body in regard of the unicameral system, I feel it is in SGA’s best interest to listen to those student voices and stop the progress on the unicameral proposal,” said SGA President and Shelby Township senior Vince Cavataio in a news release.
Students voiced their concerns during the last SGA meeting and held a small protest today against the unicameral proposal.
“We did see and hear a lot of concerns from the student body,” Cavataio said. “I only have four weeks left of my administration and I didn’t want the burden of a negative image of SGA carrying on to the next SGA president.”
SGA Vice President and Brighton junior Colleen McNeely said the proposal would be introduced again with some revisions.
“It is not necessarily out of (the) question; we will be discussing a revised proposal of the unicameral system,” McNeely said.
McNeely said the discussion regarding the unicameral proposal will continue at the SGA meeting at 7 p.m. Monday in Dow Hall 171.
“It has not been determined yet whether or not the proposal would actually be going on the ballot,” she said.
McNeely said they will be putting in place more rules in the House and Senate.
“We will discuss some additional requirements for members as they react to all of the energy that has been created in the house and senate with regard to the unicameral system,” McNeely said.
