At Monday’s Undergraduate Student Government meeting, USG drafted a resolution stating that the organization does not support the proposed Smoke and Tobacco Free Policy.

After hosting union tables, conducting surveys, and gathering data, the members of USG wrote a resolution for the organization saying that they do not support the tobacco-free policy which would ban all tobacco products from campus grounds.

USG will vote on the resolution to confirm their official stance on Nov. 30, said USG Vice President Danielle Parker

The next topic that was heavily discussed at the USG meeting was the Safe Campus Act, a bill that would prevent colleges from investigating sexual assault unless the victim also filed a police report.

“Student body presidents, student affairs professionals, and Greek life presidents, and Greek life professionals are asking for student input because many of those parties I just mentioned are opposed to this policy,” said USG President Victor Senn.

Senn said that some people who oppose this act have reached out to him asking for a letter that opposes the act or to simply stand with them to say that he does not support this act.

Senn wanted to speak with USG at Monday’s meeting to see how the members felt about it.

His intentions were to find out if members support or oppose the act and to hopefully have them write resolutions for or against it. This way, he could have the knowledge to honestly say whether USG and student at the University are for or against this bill.

Senn said that he is confident that the members of USG will go out and talk to students to bring back helpful opinions and information.

Senn also stated that there are hundreds of groups, organizations, and universities that have already come out against this policy.

“There is an overwhelming amount of opposition,” Senn said.

Before making a decision about their stance on the policy, USG wants to hear the voices of students.
