President Mazey discussed plans for the construction of a new business administration building at Monday’s Undergraduate Student Government [USG] meeting.

The plan involves renovation of the current business administration building, which will temporarily house the department of education.

USG President Brian Kochheiser said the plans for the project have been in development for some time.

“[It’s] kind of been in the rumor mill,” he said.

The planned demolition of Harshman residence hall was discussed as well, with plans for the building to come down in 2016 after the new Greek housing is finished.

Mazey said Kreisher may come down after Harshman if there is sufficient demand for housing.

Mazey also emphasized the University’s intention to increase retention going forward. Currently, retention is at around 75 percent. The aim she said is to get retention to 82-85 percent.

Factors Mazey mentioned that influence retention are better advising, the freshman seminar and the quality of the freshman class.
