ASUNM passes legislation as rules delay funding for UNM Black Engineers chapter

The Associated Students at the University of New Mexico passed five appropriations and one bill during the full senate meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 23. Among the appropriations passed was funding for events for student organizations like Tau Beta Pi, the Bangladeshi Student Association and the Professional Sales Association. After some initial confusion regarding the venue and a change in ballrooms at the Student Union Building, all legislation from the agenda was passed, with five senate absences. Bill 11F, proposed by Sen. Shin Thant Hlaing of the Steering and Rules Committee, sought to redefine “demerit” as laid out in the ASUNM Lawbook.
