The University of Georgia Student Government Association held a seminar on equity, diversity and inclusion for Senators, and the educational affairs committee discussed a resolution that recommends UGA continue supporting the HOPE and Zell B. Miller Scholarships at a meeting Tuesday.<\/p>\n
SGA has not passed a piece of legislation about the continued approval of HOPE and Zell since 2011 when changes were last made to the scholarships.<\/p>\n
The idea is to have support on the record in years where there isnt potential change as a way to make a [stronger argument of support] whenever there is change, Senator Bradley Howard said.<\/p>\n
Senators Will Curvin and Howard authored the resolution. It unanimously passed throughout the educational affairs committee and will be reviewed in the Senate next week.<\/p>\n
Senators Ella Baxter and Will Harris hosted a diversity, equity and inclusion presentation for the Senate where they focused on power, privilege and oppression.<\/p>\n
Harris began the presentation by allowing senators and staff to create word clouds, a word association exercise, around the words privilege, power and oppression. Afterwards, there was an open dialogue to discuss their thoughts.<\/p>\n
I thought it was interesting that so many dark words came up for each one. I think everyone has their own connotations based on their experiences of what constitutes power or oppression, Senator Dylan Fauntleroy said.<\/p>\n
