SGA passes bill emphasizing stance against discrimination
In response to the recent issues of diversity and the campus response, SGA passed a bill Thursday intended to emphasize the organization's stance on the issue and to promote cultural awareness on campus. "Whereas The Elon University community was aghast at discriminatory acts on our own campus, whereas students, faculty, and staff have experienced a loss of comfort on their valued college community and whereas the SGA of Elon University believes in our university's mission statement which demands respect for human differences and promotes personal integrity," the bill reads. At the recent SGA retreat, the student government decided they wanted to be transparent and show they were making a strong stance against the incidents that occurred. "It shows constituents that we will not stand for something like this," said Greg Zitelli, vice president for the Class of 2014. SGA is also forming an ad-hoc committee called the Diversity Committee to deal with future issues. In other news: *The location for the homecoming concert featuring Corey Smith was also discussed.
