SGA votes to call Surfin’ Steve’s water dyed purple for Homecoming week referendum to institute $5 green fee

By Raquel Torres Editor-in-Chief

The Student Government Association Senate has voted unanimously to call a referendum on Oct. 29 and 30 to let students choose whether or not to institute a $5 per semester green fee. As a result, a coalition has been formed by students. Jacks Go Green is a student initiative to encourage environmentally friendly projects at the University. SGA president Scarleth Lopez, a senior psychology major from Dayton, said the green fee will support green student project proposals, such as bike sharing, solar power and campus community gardens. “The $5 per semester green fee will be applied to students,” Lopez said. “The revenue from this money will be used to fund projects proposed by students, faculty and staff at SFA. These projects will be chosen from students, faculty and staff. They will be the ones to say, ‘Yes, I want this project here on campus,’ or ‘Maybe not this project.’” If students vote “no,” the green fee will not be presented to the Board of Regents for consideration. If students vote “yes” and the regents approve, the fee is expected to appear on students’ ebills in the fall of 2020. “After that point, the board will be appointed and the board will say, ‘Here’s how much money we have, here’s the projects that we can do,” Lopez said. The board will be composed of students, faculty and staff members. “That way, we get the student perspective and their say in where their money goes, but the faculty and staff members who will know sustainability and school policy better will also have a say,” Lopez said.
