Kristofferson Culmer, GPC President, and Michael Martin, GPC State Issues Coordinator, were in Jefferson City on Monday, March 5, 2012 to support Missouri Senate Bill 747. The bill would install a graduate or professional student on the University of Missouri System’s Board of Curators. This bill would specifically give that student voting rights on the board (excepting certain situations). The student representative would serve for two years and the four UM campuses would rotate who provides the student curator. Kristofferson and Michael worked closely with the Associated of Students of University of Missouri (ASUM), who are working hard on the behalf students for this bill. Kristofferson had the honor of addressing Senate members during a committee about the bill.
The issue of allowing a voting student member on the University of Missouri Systems Board of Curators has been ongoing. A bill similar to the Senate Bill 747 was discussed in the Missouri House of Representatives last week, ultimately failing to pass the House Higher Education Committee. Further discussions are expected on this legislation.
On Tuesday, March 6, 2012, the GPC general assembly voiced their support for the bill by passing GPC Resolution 1112-05: “A Resolution affirming GPC’s support of SB747, a resolution in the Missouri legislature which would mandate that the student representative to the UM System Board of Curators be a graduate or professional student, and would also give voting privileges to the student representative.”
