Senate supports Oread Inn

Thursday, January 31, 2008

Student Senate rejected a resolution that would oppose the building of the Oread Inn with a 22-30 vote.

May Davis, freshman-sophomore CLAS senator, told senators the hotel would improve sustainability on campus and offer a place for alumni and prospective students to stay that was close to campus. She also said the hotel would bring in full and part-time jobs for students.

The bill’s creators said increased property values, more noise complaints and a development that is not student-oriented were all reasons to not support the hotel.

Student Senate also passed a bill to fund Battle of the Sexes: KU Leadership Academy. Senate voted to provide the program $1,000.

Elise Higgins, HALO senator, said the conference would address a leadership and performance gap between men and women. The program will discuss the way both men and women perform in the college and work environment.

The program will be held on Saturday, Feb. 2, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the Kansas Union.

Senate supports Oread Inn

For the record: my sources say the Alumni Association LITERALLY had the StudEx (for those of you who don't know, that's the "ruling" committee of Senate) over for a paid dinner before the Oread Inn vote.

In other news, Student Success is still paying off the executive cabinet.
