The Student Rights Committee voted last night to support legislation that would oppose construction of the Oread Inn at 12th and Oread streets.
Sam Schlageck, the student senator who authored the bill, said the hotel would send the wrong message to University students and should not be built.
One of the legislation’s objections of the project is that it would not benefit students. The hotel would be placed in an area that students typically live in and possibly raise property values. Schlageck felt that the area could be used for more student-friendly real estate, including coffee shops and bookstores.
Another objection is that it would increase traffic at 12th and Oread streets and the city was asking for $10 million to improve the traffic flow there. The $10 million has not been approved by the city.
Funds provided for Battle of the Sexes on campus
The finance committee voted unanimously to provide funding for Battle of the Sexes: The KU Leadership Academy.
The program will address the gender gap difference in leadership and performance in men and women. Women at the University hold more leadership positions and earn higher grade point averages, but in the real world men have higher salaries and more leadership positions.
Senate voted to provide the program $1,000. The program is on Saturday, Feb. 2, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the Kansas Union.
Campus engineers group denied travel funds
The finance committee rejected legislation to give Engineers Without Borders a travel exemption.
A travel exemption gives a group that must travel in order to exist an avenue to ask Senate to fund the travels.
The committee objected the legislation because Engineers Without Borders has only been a group since May, and members of the committee felt the group might not have a large enough student base to merit the high costs of travel.
