Seemingly in response to the opinion piece attacking SGA last week in the Red and Black, SGA President Katy Bowers has an opinion piece today entitled “SGA requests opinions of all”.
I have quite a few comments about her opinions, so I am going to post my responses line by line.
Creating change in a community of [...]
Two weeks ago, Josh Weiss lashed out at the SGA for failing to update The Key, the grade record previously kept up-to-date by the University. Here’s the backstory:
However, for all intensive purposes, The Key is dead.
After Associate Provost for Institutional Effectiveness Bob Boehmer crippled the online database of grade distributions in spring 2006 by [...]
Sophomore Chris Chiego wrote an excellent editorial for today’s Red and Black.
He offers three main suggestions for the new SGA administration:
Save the School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA)
Protect free expression on campus.
Make sure that UGA fully funds need-based financial aid.
In regards to Chiego’s second point, he talks about UGA’s “yellow light” rating by the [...]
The Red and Black finally picked up on this story (here).
The question here is that the SGA Constitution requires 10% of the students to vote in a “special election” for the SGA Constitution, before the Constitution can be approved.
So, how many students voted in the election? Well, it depends what the definition of “special [...]
When an anonymous student was told that the new SGA Constitution [side note, the approval of the new Constitution is being challenged.] allowed for more non-Senators to get appointed positions in SGA, this is what the person had to say:
“Basically, it’s a real big circle jerk of people padding each others’ resumes.”
HA! I would [...]
So was there no rally to “Rock the Vote” today, as the Red and Black reported? I was in Tate at noon, and there was only this lowly SOS sign:
A Red and Black article notes that today a “get out the vote” rally will be held at Tate:
SGA is hosting a “Rock the Vote” campaign from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. today and Thursday in Tate Plaza. Local musicians Atticus Hicks and Allison Weiss will play.
This event is an SGA run event, and as [...]
The Red and Black has acknowledged its mistakes yesterday and has printed a front page correction.
The Red and Black calls yesterday’s multiple screw-ups “a reporter’s error.” Even if this was the fault of the reporter, it would still be interesting to see who in SGA gave this faulty information to the reporter.
The Red and [...]
Today the Red and Black printed a front page article on the upcoming SGA elections and the possibility of SGA being abolished. The article talks about the vote that takes place every 4 years, where students can decide whether or not the Student Government Association should stay around for another 4 years. On [...]
I have heard second-hand information that people are having trouble when changing their MyID passwords, as required by the new regulations.
Can anyone confirm these problems?
The rumor I have heard is that someone goes in and changes their password, and suddenly their new and old passwords don’t work.
Also, the Red and Black reported on the new [...]
