SDSU Student Association previews elections, Brookings Day and higher-education budget concerns
Summary
A student association representative told the council student elections and legislative advocacy are upcoming, with students attending Brookings Day and Students for Higher Education Day; members are watching proposed state library funding cuts and Board of Regents appropriations affecting tuition and SDSU's R1 aspirations.
Claire, representing the student association, updated the council on student-government activities and priorities for the semester.
She said the second semester began recently and noted election dates: presidential slates open Feb. 2 with election days in March; a transition meeting is planned for April 7. The student association expects to take several senators to Brookings Day next Wednesday and to take the full senate to Students for Higher Education Day at the state capitol later in January.
Claire said students are monitoring a proposed state budget cut to state library funding and potential appropriations for the Board of Regents that could affect tuition and South Dakota State University’s R1 status ambitions. She said the association will follow those issues through the legislative session and keep the council informed.
Council members thanked the student representative and had no follow-up questions recorded.
