CU Boulder student leaders hope to usher in new era of transparency

From the Daily Camera (Boulder):  The new student body presidents at the University of Colorado have moved on from this spring’s pizza and cookie cake bribery scandal and are hoping to usher in a new era of transparency and involvement in student government on the Boulder campus.

For starters, they’ve launched a new website at colorado.edu/cusg/ that makes it easier for students to access information about student government meetings and issues.

“(Transparency) is one of the biggest things we’ve been working on since we got into office,” said senior Colton Lyons, president of student affairs. “We created the new website and we’re gonna just put a lot of content on there. We can really advertise it to students, that way if they have questions it’s kind of like a one-stop-shop for student government. It’s been kind of confusing to navigate in the past.”

The new website is updated frequently with the agendas and meeting minutes for Legislative Council, the branch of student government that meets weekly during the academic year and passes bills and resolutions. Lyons said he hopes students will look at those agendas and attend meetings if there’s an issue up for discussion that’s important to them.
