The April 29 Student Senate meeting began with passing the Network constitution for the second week. The revisions passed for the second week, causing the organization's new constitution to be set in place.
Old business finished with the passing of all of the student organization budgets for the second week, officially establishing the budget and excess money for the one-fund next year.
FORCE one-funded for the next year, asking for finances to purchase pizza for a party to get more involvement on campus and to give gifts to each student to encourage them to donate to the annual fund.
