ASUN prepares to accomplish goals next semester
By Kasey Kerber
Staff Reporter
The Association of Students of the Univer
sity of Nebraska will use next semester to take
care of current projects and complete its plat
form goals, said President Shawntell Hurtgen.
Some issues from this semester may carry
over, Hurtgen said, such as the proposed amend
ments to the Student Code of Conduct and the
Admissions and Advising Committee’s upcom
ing vote on three ASUN proposals.
The Academic Senate recently passed two
of the four amendments proposed by the
-■■■■— I.,
Women’s Faculty Caucus to stiffen penalties for
students who commit violent crimes.
ASUN unanimously passed a senate bill op
posing the proposed changes.
The student senate felt die proposed changes
unfairly discriminate against athletes and “lime
light” students. The changes would punish stu
dents before they were proven guilty, senators
said.
Hurtgen said ASUN would wait until after
break to let the issue “cool down.” However, its
involvement in it is not over.
Hurtgen said the senate will continue to work
for improved advising. She has submitted three
proposals to theAdmissions and Advising Com
mittee for consideration, in addition to a list of
20 other advising concerns collected from stu
dents and organizations.
The three proposals include documentation
of advising by faculty, making more education
or up-to-date literature available to faculty and
making withdrawal/drop forms universal and
simple throughout all the colleges.
The Admission and Advising Committee will
vote (m the proposals at its Dec. 13 meeting.
Hurtgen said the decision was a likely topic for
next semester’s first ASUN meeting Jan. 10.
%ASUN also will work toward accomplish
ing the Impact Party’s platform goals.
“For me, the first meeting of the second se
mester will be a refocusing of the past issues
and providing of fresh ideas,” Hurtgen said.
“Currently, senators have each been assigned
items off a list and their progress will be up
dated at the meeting.”
In looking ahead to the new semester,
Hurtgen said she is pleased with what ASUN
has accomplished, but it is not done working.
“If there’s anything I’ve learned as president,
it’s that nothing happens overnight. The key to
getting things done is be persistent, and that’s
what ASUN must be this next semester.”
