A resolution to change the Student Media Board, which is responsible for overseeing Union Weekly, KBeach Radio and Goldmine Yearbook, into an advisory board will be presented to the Associated Students Inc. Senate for its third and final reading Wednesday.
The senate currently presides over four subsidiary boards: the University Student Union Board of Trustees, the Board of Control, the Career Development Center and the Student Media Board.
The Proposed Bylaws Amendment to the Student Media Board, sponsored by Senator Ojaala Ahmad, would bring that number down to three, with the media board acting as a subsidiary of the Board of Control.
Duties of the media board include: Reviewing and approving the Union Weekly charter, hearing potential grievances students may have with one of the media outlets, selecting of the Union’s editor in chief and establishing working rules and procedures that are forwarded to the Board of Control for approval.
According to ASI Vice President Lucy Nguyen, the Student Media Board would continue the same duties.
“Nothing’s changed about the structure,” Nguyen said during last week’s ASI meeting. “They’re still doing what they’re doing.”
