The cooperation is long overdue. We are already working very closely with them. The new Board of Trustees would replace the Board of Regents student voting member with a student representative without voting rights. Both student senates are working toward the same goals of bettering their campuses, and agree that they can meet these goals by working together. The point of this program is to set the stage for future student governments and future cooperation.
Enthusiasm seems to be shared on all sides.
Through the efforts of both student governments, the gap between the two universities will soon be closed, and both sides stand to benefit.
