tradition.
Here are examples of projects Student Senate is currently working on:
RECREATION CENTER PARKING
Student Senate is working with the Recreation Center and parking administration to open up access to Rec Center parking for more students. Completion of this initiative would allow more students to park at the Rec center and utilize the facility while classes are in session during the day.
COKE PARTNERSHIP WITH STUDENTS
Student Senate recently implemented card readers in select Coke machines on campus to allow students to purchase beverages with KU Cuisine Cash or Beak Em' Bucks. Currently, Student Senate is reviewing the program with the intention of possibly expanding the program to include more Coke machines on campus.
CAMPUS SAFTEY REFORM
SAFEBUS
Student Senate is working to restructure the Campus Safety Advisory Board to address women's safety and self defense education. Student Senate is also working with Public Safety officers to designate dangerous areas of campus that are in need of improvement projects such as better lighting and the construction of permanent crosswalks in areas with high traffic.
The Transportation board has been working to finalize the routes of this bus system that was voted on by students in Spring 2007. SafeBus will run from 9:00 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights and serve both on-campus and offcampus. SafeBus will serve three different routes, with two buses on each route. The area covered will include the downtown area near Massachusetts Street, residence halls, apartments, and many other housing establishments.
JAYHAWK BOULEVARD INFOSHACK
The info shack on Jayhawk Boulevard is currently out of date and unable to serve students as an outdoor resource. Student Senate is taking preliminary steps to renovate the info shack to add televisions that will run Union AxisTV and a GPS map of the bus locations.
MICROSOFT CAMPUS
Student Senate is working on signing an agreement with Microsoft to offer campus-wide licenses that provide all students Windows and Office at a low price.
