Students gripe, but fail to show for Town Hall

Students must have packed their wagons and headed west because the Student Government Association town hall meeting was nothing short of a ghost town. Besides SGA members and a few journalism students, only three people attended the meeting.

We can only conclude that students do not care about issues regarding the University, how their tuition dollars are spent and have no concerns worth mentioning to SGA members or University officials.

There is a greater question of involvement raised here; if students cannot even take time to care about the relatively small bubble that is their college campus, then what could possibly motivate them to participate in real world political affairs?

The town hall meetings give students the opportunity to ask questions and talk about issues important to them. Students must understand their participation and voices are needed, so that their SGA and University officials can make good decisions based on their input.

The members of SGA rely on communication with the students. Students who are too lazy to become involved in matters affecting them have no reason to complain about decisions made on campus.

We do not understand why students choose to remain ignorant of issues directly affecting them. Hopefully, these actions are not a result of students believing their voices are not important because they are.
