The Student Government Association voted to refer the “Faculty Handbook C-3 Proposed Update” policy to the Faculty Affairs Committee on Feb. 3, moving the resolution one step closer to being adopted as an official IUS policy. “What this policy will do is to strongly encourage the faculty to specifically post their syllabus onto OnCourse by the first week of the semester,” Stephon Moore, journalism freshman and SGA press secretary, said. With the bill, faculty will be strongly encouraged to include in their course descriptions the course requirements.

The Student Government Association discussed its agenda for the semester as well as some new additions to the campus during its first two meetings of the spring 2012 semester. The agenda items and new campus additions represent changes to the university that have the potential to improve the quality of students’ experiences at IU Southeast. Matt Owen, political science junior and SGA senate chair, opened the discussion by emphasizing his desire for the organization to become more accountable to the students it serves.
