Student Association unanimously passed a bill Monday to make its Department of Public Safety focus groups a permanent initiative.
SA Chief of Staff Kailee Vick introduced the bill. It’s important that students have an opportunity to provide feedback about the department and its role on campus, they said.
“We really wanted to make it a permanent initiative and make this a recurring thing because we think it’s really important for students to be able to have a platform where they can really just voice their concerns with the department and then have that stage to be able to then have actionable change come out of that,” Vick said.
