- SGA meeting sees addition of two amendments to constitutionIllinois State University's Student Government Association (SGA) held its biweekly meeting Wednesday. A new member was appointed, two amendments were made to the SGA constitution and a bill was passed to fund the upcoming Redbird Market event. SGA unanimously elected to add sophomore Sandy Berg. She will be taking on a Greek life-adjacent role. “She’s going to be the ex-officio of the College Panhellenic Council. So she will be advocating for all the sororities on campus,” said Student Body Chief of Staff Maegan James. Members also discussed the upcoming Redbird Market. The market will sell art, clothing and other items. “It's an opportunity for students to be able to have a platform to sell their services–an opportunity for all other students to see what their fellow Redbirds are working on,” Blair said. Members unanimously voted to allocate $1,200 towards the Redbird Market event. “[The money] is coming from an already allocated spot from the dean of students' office and all of that money comes from general campus funds,” James said. The SGA constitution was also amended twice. The First Amendment now requires applicants for on-campus IT positions to have previous IT experience to be hired. The Second Amendment saw the addition of the SGA’s oath of office into the bylaws. The next SGA assembly meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on April 16 in the Old Main Room of the Bone Student Center.
