Student Senate

Resolution

Passed Unanimously on Sunday, October 7, 2007

 

Whereas,            The Student Senate of Siena Heights University feels that the students of the University are negatively impacted by the limited hours of the library; and

Whereas,            Many students get out of class around 9:00 pm on weeknights, leaving them with no opportunity to use the library and its resources; therefore, be it

RESOLVED,     That the Student Senate of Siena Heights University strongly recommends to the administration of the University to find resources to allow the library to remain open on Sundays through Thursdays until at least 11:00 pm.
