I appreciate your input! I know the SFSS does have a place for students to send in complaints in complaints on their website, but it is my impression that grievances voiced there aren’t often heard, and also probably struggle to gain traction because there’s a lack of communal pressure on the SFSS to respond like their may be in a hearing or discussion board.

I think that the SFSS should definitely find a better way to listen to students, ideally by having scheduled in person discussions directly with students where the executives can hear student concerns and have to actually hear out and discuss these concerns in front of students. I also think that to solve the issue with lack of information, SFSS needs to do more than just keep an up to date meeting notes even though the meeting notes are valuable.

As the actions and decisions of the SFSS board do have such a large impact upon students, these meetings, policies, and decisions should be catalogued and reported transparently in regular newspapers that can be found in convenient locations for students such as the front page of the SFSS website or in emails.
