Associated Student Government (ASG) passed a resolution to increase student voter engagement ahead of the 2026 midterm elections and addressed campus concerns at its March 31 meeting.
Senator Lynn Setter proposed the resolution to expand civic engagement efforts and voter registration programming through a continued partnership with the Menard Family Center for Democracy. Planned initiatives include voter education efforts and potential candidate debates on campus this fall.
“Regardless of [students’] political affiliation … the student body is not to educate [students], but to give them political resources and empower them to do their own research,” Senator Charles Amara said.
ASG addressed ongoing issues in Williams Hall after a student reported repeated work orders have not led to improvements. The student said the excessive heat poses a health concern due to a heart condition affecting her ability to regulate body temperature. Senator Quin Ahler submitted the concern to the Campus Affairs Committee for further review.
Senator Nicholas Rentschler raised a discussion about accessing meal swipe information on the GET mobile app. Senators said the information is available through Grubhub and the university’s Web Card Center, resolving the issue during discussion.
The Safety and Transportation Committee is promoting SafeRide, a free nighttime shuttle service, through a giveaway offering students a chance to win AirPods Max by downloading the BCRTA BGo app and entering via QR codes on campus posters.
