Pass:

The town hall meeting Wednesday had more than 200 people in attendance, which shows that the NIU students and faculty want to take program prioritization seriously.

I applaud all those in attendance for being actively concerned with how program prioritization will affect them and the organizations they are part of. This matter is important to understand and by attending the town hall meeting NIU community members have shown they potentially want to give feedback on how various university programs will change.

Fail:

The Student Association Senate postponed a bill that would combine two positions at its Sunday meeting and by doing so are wasting valuable time.

The bill that was postponed would have combined the director of Public Affairs position with the director of Advertising position. SA Senate Speaker Dillon Domke said he was not sure why the majority voted to postpone the bill or why it would be necessary to postpone the bill. This seems like a straight forward issue, either the positions should be combined or they should not.
