A question has been posed to the SGA that we sometimes cannot answer ourselves: ‘Does the administration really care about us (students)?”’ However, SGA Graduate President Rick Robinson said he has not had an opportunity to discuss a demonstration with Bell. However, he said it is a possibility. One of Bell’s reasons for proposing the demonstration is his claim that high-level administrators have generally ignored SGA since the beginning of this semester. “The President of this institution, the President of Academic Affairs (and) the Dean of Student Life have literally disrespected me as a student leader by not even making an attempt to hold one meeting with me or the graduate president throughout this school year,” he said.
