Saw where the SGA at VT has been disbanded.

University is doing away with current student government saying it was dysfunctional. They will do away with executive and legislative branches & replace them with an 85 member student senate.

The old SGA which was set up in 1966 was said to be corrupt with sexism and cronyism. Anybody have any insight as to what was going on?

I was wondering what kind of perks the cronyism involved. ** -- Hokester 02/18/2021 5:38PM

I'm guessing that only refers to perks inside the SGA -- typed by ben 02/19/2021 07:28AM
