Funding for the spring Illinois Board of Higher Education Student Advisory Committee trip was moved to committee. The resolution will allow the University to have a voice in the IBHE-SAC, a committee dedicated to discussing issues related to higher education institutes.
A student body president and student trustee candidates debate was also sent to committee. This will give students the chance to hear from all candidates about campus issues.
