A Drastic Change? I Think Not.

There has been a growing sense on campus that, because House Council are more accessible than Senate , House Council should happen before Senate. What do you think about this idea?

I have been a HUGE supporter of this idea as this idea has been on my platform. I have seen the success of Stone's House Council changing to Sunday nights before Senate on Monday nights and would work with the HPC/CG Liaison, next year's House Presidents, the Resident Directors and the Deans to implement this change.

I would like to hold senators more accountable in their roles in effectively creating open dialogue, and so by switching House Councils to Monday nights instead of Tuesday nights, the senators would get the agendas ahead of time, discuss it in their House Councils with students who normally aren't involved with CG, bring the discussion and important points back to Senate the following night, where we would discuss the issue in an open forum. It makes more sense to have Senate and House Council structured this way so that people can be involved in dialogue and change on this campus.
