Has the General Assembly lost its ability to govern the University of North Florida? Did the General Assembly ever possess the power to govern? Th ese questions appear to be going through the minds of students, faculty and staff. While the General Assembly may have the power to govern. it is abundantly clear to many that it is not operating. Many rules and regulations are decided elsewhere -- most often by administrators and college deans. Basically, the only thing the General Assembly has done this academic year is select members for various committees. THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS why the General Assembly is not functioning. The first is the fact that the General Assembly is too large and cumbersome to operate effectively. Gathering a body made up of over 200 people is a monstrous task. Therefore, there are too few General Assembly meetings. One can demonstrate this by pointing out that the General Assembly has not met in almost two months. The second factor which has contributed to the breakdown of the General Assembly is the fact that apathy is running rampant among student members of the General Assembly. As a result of this apathy students as well as faculty and staff don't attend their designated meetings. WHY THE APATHY? Student members do not feel that they have any real responsibility due to the fact that they are just one of 73. WE. fiAVf.
