Passed by the House Wednesday with a vote of 95-1, House Bill 1331 would allow student government to form committees advising university administration on issues that affect student access and success, such as tuition and fees.
The Seattle Times has the story here.
WSU supports the legislation as the university already has mechanisms in place for students to weigh in on important issues like tuition policy. This bill provides the university another opportunity to engage students on the issues that affect them.
The legislation now goes to the Senate where it must move through the same process it passed in the House in order to see the governor’s desk.
