Editorial: SGA visibility is positive step
With the most recent SGA meeting, we feel that the organization is making some steps in the right direction in becoming more involved in the actual affairs of the student body.
In past years, SGA has been a relatively silent figure, working in the background to try and get things done while still maintaining a certain level of anonymity. Many students may not have known about SGA before having picked up a copy of The East Texan and may still not even know what SGA does exactly.
We are happy to know that we are not the only ones who have noticed this trend. By recognizing SGA's need to do a "better job of being more visible and accessible to students on campus," it seems its senators have simultaneously indicated that they have been operating at a relatively low level of accountability – and we tend to agree.
We do realize, however, that SGA becoming a more prominent figure on this campus does not fall solely on them - it falls equally on the students. This is another reason we're glad that SGA is taking a step into the limelight, so to speak. Because we know that, with more students aware of SGA, there will be more student input on decisions made by SGA. And with more student input, it becomes that much easier for SGA to become a reliable voice for the student body.
