Plan to improve student government

For too long, Purdue Student Government has not worked for the students. Over the past year as Senate President Pro Tempore, I have seen first hand that PSG does not work for the students and because of this, the students and the administration do not take it seriously. This year there is a plan to change this. Not only will this plan change how Purdue students are represented, but it will fix the flawed structure of PSG. Because of the lack of receptiveness by the Senate, we are appealing to students. We need all students to help reform this situation. If you would like PSG to truly represent you and have a unified voice to the administration, please vote for the referendum. This referendum will force members of PSG who do not have the students' best interests in mind to change and be held accountable. I urge all who do have concerns to vote on SSINFO from Tuesday to Thursday, March 27 to 29.
