FEAI'URFS EDITOR KJ\fHHRL y SALVA TO Below is the mission statement of the Student Senate: KaLEICH W.l!LC/f IG\f1E i\'uzz1E Entrusted by the students. The Roger Williams University Student Sen SroJITS EorroR MICHELLE BAZINET ate is the advocate of student rights, responsibilities, and opinions. Acting as a liaison between the student body and the University's administration and SHAU!v HOGAN AulSON COLLINS faculty, the Senate is responsible for representing the myriad of student A.SSlsrANT SPOKFS &rroR Asuuv WrLwx thoughts and resolving their concerns. Assisting in the creation of an inclusive community that encourages intellectual, social, and personal development, the DAN DEBLASIO Senate is dedicated to promoting diverse thought and action amongst our plu AssISTANr FBATtJRBS EorroRS ralistic student body. The Student Senate endorses its clubs and organizations by providing a comprehensive network of support and recognition. Committed KELCIE SWEENEY to collaborative leadership, the Student Senate places a strong emphasis on LoJUN RICHARDSON constant improvement for the benefit of the current and future students of Roger Williams University. WEB MANAGER TEDDY APPLEBAUM The following are questions you had posed to me last week but I was un able to answer due to the lateness of the questions. When you interviewed me earlier in the day, you did not ask these questions. You sent me your follow up questions late at night and my responsibilities as a student prevented me from answering them. I had to study for a quiz the next morning, so the im. mediate deadline you gave was not feasible. How do you respond to numerous former senators claim that the senate is inefficient and meetings are unnecessarily drawn out? CoNTACT US AT: The Senate meetings length is based on a number of external factors. Many people are at the meetings to give updates and participate in open de HAWKS81!R.W>@CMAIL.CO.N bate. As you know, members of each organization give a weekly update, mem bers of the student body are invited to participate in meetings, and there are ~ many issues discussed by members of the General Senate as well. The length of meetings is solely based on the amount of discussion in a given meeting. They also argue that certain viewpoints are not welcome and that your de cision to ask Joe off was a way to get rid of those viewpoints. Response? The Senate represents the student body as a whole and any and all view points are welcome. This was not a consideration in the request for Joe's resig nation. If Joe had been talked to throughout the year, why weren't demerits given'? Joe had been pulled aside numerous times by advisors and three members of the executive board as a means to assist him in growing as a student leader and to help him to understand that these actions were wrong. Again, these conversations were not the only issue in the request for his resignation. The decision was based on his behaviors. Why were three student senators given demerits for underage drinking at a senate function while Joe was asked to step down with no demerits? The request for Joe's resignation did not pertain to underage drinking. Other allegations claim that you tend to make "unilateral decisions." Did you consult others before you ashed Joe to step down? I realize that bylaws do not require you lo do so. During an executive board meeting. T consulted each and every member of the executive board and all gave me their support at the time. Though others may have the opinion that I make "unilateral decisions," you will notice in meeting minutes that I tend to refrain from voicing an opinion on most issues. If students have concerns with the way the Student Senate is functioning and lhey should direct their concerns to [email protected] or stop by the office and speak with any Student Senator or member of the Executive Board. If you are interested in getting involved in the Student Senate please stop by the office to pick up an election form. Regards, Veronica L. Columb LL Fact: HBO is a premium channel.
