The SGA records consist of meeting and committee minutes, the organization's constitution, legislators' binders, voting records, resolutions,... memos and correspondence, newspaper articles, and budget reports. Some of the campus issues discussed in the records include student rights, health care, safety, diversity, multi-ethnic education, community service, and Greek life.
