ASUI Senator Andrea Leal sponsored resolution F25-1 to condemn the violence in Nepal’s capitol during the ASUI Senate meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 10. On Sept. 9, 19 students were killed in protests over the government shutting down social media.
Leal said, “We all have the right to advocate for an issue that matters to us, without suffering brutality.” This bill will be reviewed by the committee and then discussed further at the next meeting.
ASUI Vice President Bryant Sitts spoke of his experience being “Student Coach of the Game” last Saturday, saying he was directed around the football facilities and walked out with the players. To be chosen as a future “Student Coach of the Game,” submit an entry by 5 p.m. Wednesday the week of a home game. Applications will be reviewed by a selection committee and, if selected, students will be notified by the Thursday before the home game.
ASUI President Seyi Arogundade is currently working to streamline club financing with the intent of making the process more transparent.

During the open forum, Owen Allenger, a representative from the Residence Hall Association, introduced himself to the Senate, explaining the system of the RHA and introducing the organization.
