Dillon Domke, Student Association Senate speaker, announced Senate Clerk Ryan Burke will step down from his position due to a heavy course load Sunday.

Domke briefly discussed the Senate committees that have been created. Domke said he intended to bring a speaker in at a later date to discuss NIU President Doug Baker’s “triangle offense” plan where faculty, students and the world are the three points on the triangle, with the center of the triangle as support staff. The plan intends to direct all parts of the university toward student career success.
