Diversity, equity and inclusion training
Senators will attend a training within six weeks of the start of the fall and spring semesters or of taking office. ASWSU Senator Lauren Slater wrote the bill and said the resolution is a passion project of hers.
Slater said the bill’s intention is to ensure representatives of the student body are educated about how to be an ally to all students.
Learning how to effectively and respectfully communicate with constituents is important, she said.
“My hope with this bill is that we learn how to communicate better and communicate more respectfully with everyone around us,” Slater said. “Even us within the senate, and communicating with the executive as well.”
