SGA members resign

Two members of the Student Government Association at Radford University resigned their posts this week.

Robert Lataille, who students elected as their president in Spring 2007, said a judicial probation led to his resignation. He said it stemmed from allegations he stole $1.50 worth of office supplies.

The SGA vice president of student finance also resigned her position.

Regis McKoy and Juliann Abercrombie have been promoted to those spots through a student senate vote.

Both students who resigned are still enrolled at Radford.

    A student government association cut off a student newspaper's funding because the paper hired a lawyer because the SGA often meets in secret. The SGA has relented. Sort of. Temporarily. Read about it here.

  • Online forum to talk about campus security -

    The day after holding a statewide conference on campus security, Gov. Tim Kaine's office announced the creation of a web site where "members of the Virginia college community," can discuss campus security.

    Go here for more information and to register to have access to the site.

    The governor's panel on the Virginia Tech shootings is expected to release a fairly thick report on the work it's done this summer in the next week or two and Tech's own internal review is also scheduled for completion soon.

    Security is one of many topics expected to be covered in those reports. This forum seems to be an attempt to keep the conversation fluid and share information more between universities.
