Associated Student Government plans to tackle funding for accessibility renovations, an alternative to dissection in biology labs and a better way of ordering course materials at tonight’s meeting.

One bill asks administrators to work toward improving disability access by raising the university’s annual allocation from $500,000 to $600,000 per year. Authored by College Republicans Sen. Matt Hall, the bill calls for spending to correspond with inflation.

The lack of handicapped accessibility at Greek houses came into the spotlight last week when a Weinberg freshman who uses a wheelchair participated in rush. Administrators erected temporary ramps to accommodate her.

The second bill would give undergraduate biology students a computer alternative to dissection if they have religious or ethical reasons for refraining from the procedure.

“A lot of students are hesitant to ask the professor, because they think they might be marked down,” said Asian-American Advisory Board Sen. Tina Byun, the bill’s co-author.

Students now must ask professors for an alternative if they oppose dissection, but there is no guarantee the professor will grant their request.

The third bill encourages professors to request textbooks be sold separately from supplementary materials such as workbooks or CDs. Bookstores often will not accept returns once a student opens the wrapping that holds the book and additional learning tools.

“The reason that the bookstore won’t take it back is because the publisher won’t take it back,” said Mike Fong, ASG’s student services vice president and the bill’s co-author.

Norris University Center Director Bill Johnston will speak at the meeting. Also, ASG will elect one new member to its judicial board. Nominees must never have served in ASG.
