The Student Senate unanimously approved the verbiage of an opinion poll on Wednesday that will appear on this year’s ballot for Student Senate positions.
According to University Relations director Ryan Shucard, the full details of the ballot issue, the Quality of Life Act, will not be released to the public until election commissioner Michael Goldstein releases the entire ballot on Mar. 22.
However, according to the approved verbiage of the opinion poll, the Quality of Life Act would be sponsored through several different campus organizations to enhance the services that they already provide and increase the scope of these services to offer students a broader range of options. Among these services, the Quality of Life Act is seeking to improve and revitalize the current transportation services provided to students, while promoting outdoor activities through the increased provision of rental equipment.
Student Senate president Justin Puckett said the Quality of Life Act arose from student input that was directed to several different campus organizations and committees that ultimately banded together to create certain provisions in the act. If the opinion poll produces favorable results by the student body in this year’s Student Senate elections, Puckett said the Quality of Life Act would be presented to the UNC Board of Trustees for its final approval. Puckett also said the Quality of Life Act could be in effect as early as the fall semester if the UNC Board of Trustees approves it.
