The student body recently elected 40 new student senators to represent all students when important issues come before Student Government. One of the main tasks facing senators is making sure the students they represent know what is happening in senate, and that the senate knows what is going on with the student body.
Senators have to keep in touch with the people they represent.
Constituency requirements keep track of all 80 senators, and these rules make sure that senators are properly representing their districts. The Senate Information and Investigation Committee will review constituency requirements Tuesday to see if the senate is successfully representing UF students. Despite a few senators who, in the past, have not completed their requirements, Ploch said most senators have done a good job representing their constituencies. It was only few bad apples that didn't fulfill their requirements. When senators were sworn in last week, Student Body President Brian Burgoon offered advice about representing the student body.
