Burnt Orange Report

BORFTF Correction

By Karl-Thomas Musselman

And yes, BORFTF is Burnt Orange Report From The Floor (Student Government Meetings).

I have an update with some corrected info from last nights report that I wanted to elevate to a post here. It was about the surveys that John Walthall spoke about...

Good Wednesday! I am pleased to see that BOR comments from the SG meeting each week, and I wanted to clarify some of the points made about the survey, as I was the person there to present the issue.

First, the main topic of the presentation was to let current reps know about the possibility of addressing or researching relevant issues or projects by use of these opinion surveys.

Second, I have some more detailed info on student's rating of Student Government. 23% of the undergraduate population rated some dissatisfaction with SG. A question then asked (if they were dissatisfied), what was the reason. Of those that responded, No Authority received 26% and No Outreach received 22%. It is important to note that this does not mean that 26% of undergrads believe that SG has no authority.

Lastly, the results will be provided to Exec to then be released to The Daily Texan, the SG assembly, and the public at large. There is no intention of hiding the results to use in future campaigns.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to contact me. I am honored though that the data has made an appearance here.
