Senate rejects bill that would transfer RSO granting authority to Student Involvement
Monique Gaines / The Sunflower
Senators at the SGA meeting on Nov 10, 2021. A bill regarding transferring RSO granting authority to Student Involvement was rejected during the meeting.
EDITOR’S NOTE: The printed version of this story’s headline falsely said “student affairs”. The bill was discussing the transition of RSO granting authority to Student Involvement, not student affairs. The online version of this story has been updated to reflect these changes.
A student senate bill regarding the transfer of authority to recognize student organizations to Student Involvement was rejected after being tabled last week.
The vote came after much debate on various options to amend the bill, create a new committee to craft a new piece of legislation, or to kill the bill altogether.
This bill follows a controversial decision by the student senate last month that rejected the conservative organization Turning Point USA registered student organization status. The decision was deemed unconstitutional by the Student Supreme Court and was overturned the following week.
The bill was introduced to the senate last week by Senator Ella Perkins.
“Whether the senate has true authority over recognition of RSOs has long been a question, and it has become increasingly clear through conversations that have been had over the last month, the denial of any student group RSO status will always have the potential to put the association in legal jeopardy,” Perkins said.
Last week, the senate voted to table the bill after a large amount of debate from both sides. This week was no different. Student senators went back and forth about the different options for roughly an hour.
The main source of debate was surrounding whether to kill the bill or create a committee to re-evaluate what the bill looked like.
“I believe there are great intentions with this bill,” Ways and Means committee chair Tayton Majors said. “We need more time…In the end, let’s just vote to kill this bill tonight, I think this is the best potential solution.”
Many senators voiced concerns that the bill was created too quickly to provide proper thought.
“This bill has a lot of traction and it also has a lot of different viewpoints,” Freshman Senator Anne Wasinger said. “We can see that there are a lot of people who care how this decision is made. One of my reasons for voting against this bill tonight is that a lot of those discussions were not made in the week that we tabled… And that all comes from how quickly this bill was formed.
“And, you know, it was a very intense time for this organization, I understand the pressure from outside sources … But I do truly think that this bill was done too quickly and I think that this is evidence of that, that so many chairs are interested in developing this bill.”

Yes, lets, as an elected group, kill a bill that would take power away from us because we do not like what could happen because of that. Regardless of what you think of Turning Point USA the second the SGA thought they could deny them RSO status was them moment every one that voted that way should have been removed. There was no standing or legitimate legal reason to deny them aside from, we do not like what your organization says on a national level. Which is the argument of a child, not one of someone who has been elected to represent their community. They brought potential legal troubles to WSU for their own vanity and self righteousness. Get every single one of them off the senate immediately.
People need to realize that just because they do not like something or something offends them, that is in no way a reason it should not exist. Differing opinions and viewpoints are essential to our democracy and those who try to cancel anything that doesn’t fit in their nice little world view are a cancer on our society.

I completely agree. Personally, I voted against this bill not because I think that SGA will make better decisions but because I know SGA has less capability to harass student organizations like they did TPUSA than does the administration itself. To me, it was a matter of which power is the greater danger: a cesspool of student marxists with limited legal resources hampered by their parliamentary system or the centralized might of the university administration flush with money and a legal team. I would much rather battle against SGA in court than the WSU administration. Voting for the bill wasn’t a solution. It would have only exacerbated the issue.

IT WORK 100%….I just got my Marriage fixed, I contacted a real spell caster that helped me change my husband’s heart to love and want me again, and he really did and now we are very happy together. My husband left me for another woman, This was just 3 years of our marriage. The most painful thing is that I was pregnant with our second baby. I wanted him back. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back , I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster called dr unity, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before 11 hours. He cast the spell and surprisingly 11 hours later my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened He wanted me to return to him. He also said he loved me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again.thanks to dr unity . if you are here and your Lover is turning you down, or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact Dr.Unity for help now..
