The Student Government Association began their meeting 30 minutes late and went directly into executive session on Dec. 1. Executive sessions are when the senate votes to close the meeting to the community in order to discuss confirmation proceedings for nominees to SGA positions and disciplinary proceedings. Advisers may also privately address the senate. Stephen Prather, radiography junior and SGA pro-tempore, motioned to go into executive session for 15 minutes. “We need to discuss some protocol and proceedings,” Prather said.
