The WKU Student Government Association held its second meeting of the 24th senate on Tuesday, Sept. 3, approving the passage of one bill. 

Bill 50-23-S reaffirms SGA’s commitment to serve as a representation of the student body and not as a political group. The bill continues to emphasize SGA’s role as a student organization and its duty to “only put forward nonpartisan legislation.” 

Bill 50-23- S passed in the Senate unanimously. 

Many members were also appointed and sworn into their new committee seats.

Chief Financial Officer Ethan Taylor appointed multiple members to the Organizational Aid Board. Additionally, Rush Robinson was named the chair of the Campus Improvements and Sustainability Committee and Hadley Whipple was sworn in as Secretary of the Senate.

Student Body President Sam Kurtz also appointed Hailey Stapleton to the Judicial Council. 

Chief of Staff Anne-Marie Wright spoke about the Borrow-A-Calculator program started in collaboration with the Center of Innovative Teaching and Learning, the Department of Mathematics and Ogden College of Business. 

The program allows students to borrow brand-new TI-84 graphing calculators for their coursework free of charge. Students can borrow the calculators for one week and have the option of renewing for an additional time. A valid student ID is necessary for checkout. 

The details provided in the meeting followed an announcement email sent by White on Aug. 29.

The calculators can be picked up at the SGA front desk, located at DSU 2045, Monday-Friday from 9 p.m. to 5 p.m.
