Earlier this academic year, registered student organizations (RSOs) had difficulty getting recognized by the university, due to a stricter review from Campus Activities than in previous years.
Without recognition, RSOs can’t request funding, reserve spaces or access benefits like email accounts or the credit union. If juniors Heydy Vasquez and Elija Barnes are elected president and vice president of Undergraduate Student Government (USG), they promise to streamline this process, ensuring no student organization faces this obstacle again.
In addition to RSO support, the other top priorities of the Vasquez/Barnes campaign are health and wellness and representation.
