A resolution will be introduced to the rules and judiciary committee of UNC Student Congress today that could determine the University’s involvement in the Association of Student Governments.
The association, which relies on an annual $1 fee levied on students from the 17 UNC-system schools, allows student leaders across the state to meet and share ideas.
Marc Seelinger is the sponsor of the resolution aimed at giving students the choice to participate in ASG.
“Personally, I’ve been disappointed in how they have handled these tuition things,” he said. “They are not the most effective advocate for students.”
But Mary Cooper, student body president for UNC-CH, said ASG has potential to fight against steep tuition increases.
“There is a lot of potential energy, and my goal is to make sure this gets turned into energy to move forward,” Cooper said.
