Monday night’s Student Association meeting began with the passing of a resolution that states SA will become a part of a group of students in higher education formed by New York Public Interest Research Group urging New York Governor-elect Eliot Spitzer to make higher education more affordable and to not increase tuition.

SA Vice President Bryan Dumas stood in for President Wayne Horton and read the president’s report. He informed the assembly of the first meeting of the transportation task force to discuss the possibility of new bus routes.

Chair of the Committee of University Affairs Joy LaChelle Ingraham mentioned that she felt a female representative should attend at least one or two of the meetings.

‘Obviously, females have different concerns regarding walking home than males,’ she said.

The next assembly meeting will be Dec. 4 at 7:30 p.m. in Maxwell Auditorium.
