Undergraduate Student Government Senate. This group, which is designed to work for students, has gone horribly awry this year. It has become the personal playground for self-important resume builders instead of a functioning representative organization that works for the benefit of all undergraduate students. Since the senate began meeting in September they have done nothing for students. Reacting to July riot in October is not working for students.
Talk is cheap.
Only action will redeem this senate. This group of elected representatives needs to start representing the students. Anyone who has been following the childishness that has begun to define USG Senate may think this situation is irreparable. But the senate can look inward for inspiration. About two years ago, the senate discussed the possibility of dissolving the USG Academic Assembly because the members were not going to meetings, not performing their duties and not working for the students.
