Update on Student Government at Penn State
In March, FIRE discussed the dubious actions of the Penn State administration in abolishing the student government and replacing it with a weaker version that was supposed to be more functional. Elections for the new student government, UPUA, were held earlier this week and the newly elected UPUA president recently discussed his feelings about the new organization in the student newspaper. Visit the Daily Collegian’s website to read the new president’s views on the future of UPUA and the students who elected him.
