Tobacco-free policy resolution

Undergraduate Student Government passed a resolution supporting a tobacco-free campus policy at Monday’s assembly.

The resolution was brought up in the meeting for a second reading, discussing the merits and changes to the resolution since it was last brought to the floor. 

ROTC student clause resolution

The resolution recommends a ROTC student clause in all BGSU syllabi. The senators described situations where ROTC students faced difficulties in getting excused from classes to attend required functions relating to their ROTC training.

The bill will be brought up during the next meeting for more discussion and possible vote.
