Transgender and Questioning (LGBTQ) students.” It goes on to explain that class senators represent the entire student constituency and it is their “responsibility to express the concerns of the student body.” We find this troublesome because we don’t feel the entire student body was aware, well-informed, or able to express its feelings on this matter. Student Union and class senators should have done a better job gathering their respective class’s attitude on this matter before voting. Student Union should have tabled the resolution for at least two weeks to collect a con- sensus of the entire student body. A meeting should have been publicized and held for interested students to come and express their feelings, much like the open forum after the campus tragedies. The final vote on the resolution was: 11 in favor, five opposed and four abstentions. At the time of the vote, four senators were absent and the resolution only required a simple majority. It is important to note that three of the four senators absent were seniors who are not required to attend meetings second semester of their senior year. Additionally, members of the LGBT community were present during the vote, which “ was inappropriate because senators may have been pressured or swayed to vote for the resolution because of the group’s presence.
