After concluding his interviews for filling the open senate positions, Speaker of the Senate Joe Robbins put all of the recommendations to fill the positions on today’s agenda for the Student Senate Meeting.

Robbins interviewed all 11 senate prospects and was optimistic about finally having a full senate.

“It’s going to be great to have a full senate, and I’m convinced that these are all the right people to serve the students.”

In an agenda dominated with appointments, Student Body President Hugh O’Hara also has the final three candidates he wants put on the Student Supreme Court.

Also, several appointments to boards and committees should begin to fill the holes by using the new senate members.

“We already have the tentative committee assignments for the new senators,” Robbins said.

The senate also faces bills regarding tuition and fee increases.

After a meeting Monday night with Shirley Stewart, vice president for student affairs, the Tuition and Fee Review Committee said these fee increases were in the best interest of the students and would actually save the students money in the long run.

“These changes give the students more direct control over where their money goes,” said Seth Quin, chair of the Tuition and Fee Review Committee. “It seems like this raise is more beneficial to the students than harmful.”

In other business, a new bylaw will come before the senate that involves the people who are allowed to speak and not to speak at the senate.

The Student Action Team nominees will be announced at the next meeting because interviews have not been concluded yet.
