Matt Layette, speaker of the senate, said he wanted to make a special note that although the fees were passed in one night, senate members did not rush through the process. Presentations for the fee increases were made to the senate at last week’s meeting. Several senate members said they did not want to participate in the discussion or vote because they did not meet with their respectable Recognized Student Organizations within the duration of one week. The fee proposals were scheduled to be dis- cussed at Wednesday’s meeting, and not all senate members made an effort to gather input from other students. Regardless of whether senate members met with their RSOs, they still needed to contact other students so they could bring more input to the senate meeting for the discussion. Lou Hencken, vice president for student affairs, said he would like to see a student forum take place regarding the fee increases.
