Hey Undergrads,<br>Yesterday the UA Senate <a href="http://web.mit.edu/ua/senate/UAS42/14/restructuring-committee.pdf" target="_blank">created the Ad-hoc Committee on Restructuring</a>
to look at the structure of your undergraduate governments at MIT.
We'll be looking at how your student government can best engage
administrators, represent student opinion and effect change on behalf
of undergraduates, working off of a plan that was tasked to the
committee (<a href="http://web.mit.edu/ua/senate/UAS42/14/unified-voice.pdf" target="_blank">bill here</a>, with the <a href="http://web.mit.edu/ua/senate/UAS42/14/A1-%20Constitutional%20Proposal%20and%20Implementation%20Plan.pdf" target="_blank">constitutional plan here</a>).
We'll be doing a lot of concentrated and thorough work in the upcoming
days, started with our first meeting tomorrow (Wednesday) night at 8
p.m. in the UA office (W20-401).<br>
<br>If you have any thought-out ideas on how student government could be
improved, or suggestions for the proposal that this committee was
tasked with examining, then there are several ways to have your voice
heard! Our meetings will be public with speaking ability given to
everyone attending, and all electronic announcements and communications
will take place on the mailing list, which anyone can join (<a href="https://groups.mit.edu/webmoira/list/ua-restructure-listeners" target="_blank">ua-restructure-listeners</a>).
We plan on working hard in a condensed time frame to recommend a
governmental structure that will be most beneficial to you in the years
to come.<br>
