BC Student Government Association
(SGA) is an organization on campus made
up and run entirely by students. It places
its members on key committees within
the college’s administration. They are also
responsible for funding clubs, carrying
out major projects and influencing school
policy. However, recently students and staff
have questioned the effectiveness of how
our SGA is organized. SGA hosts weekly
meetings in MG 125 every Wednesday. This
semester has shown that students display an
apathetic attitude towards SGA. They have
held a number of meetings at the designated
time with little result. They have been
unable to obtain the numbers needed to
meet quorum or two-thirds majority. Why
is this? When Travis Wireback, Executive
President of the SGA, emailed all the
members of SGA to show up or their funds
would be forfeited, we managed to obtain
quorum easily. Do clubs use SGA purely
as a money purse? Isn’t SGA supposed to
speak on behalf of the students?
Debate Society and Young Politicians of
America has decided to bring this issue into
the open with the support of the Executive
Board of SGA in an open forum. The
resolution wiU be “Resolution: SGA, as it is
now, should be revamped.” SGA members
have agreed to make opening arguments
for both sides. This is your chance to make
your voice count. Debate SocietyATA and
SGA invite you to attend the open forum
on Wednesday, November I2th at 7pm in
MG 12 5. The debate wiU take one hour and
then the resolution wiU be caUed to a vote.
Immediately following the open forum,
SGA will hold its weekly meeting in the
same room.
