Tonight’s Student Senate meeting may have an additional 91 attendees as a Facebook group known as “Rally against Talley,” has planned a protest of the Student Senate’s resolution last week suggesting the fee review committee move forward with an $83 student center renovation fee increase.

The student-led initiative has formed an event online which, as of Tuesday night, had 91 “confirmed guests.”

Vidya Sankar, a sophomore in biochemistry and creator of the event, said the group aims to hold senators accountable for their votes last week.

“We are planning, pretty much, to pack the house and draw out as many people as possible to express their frustration with Student Senate, which has completely ignored the voices of those who they’re supposed to represent,” Sankar said.

Sankar said while not everyone who responded to the Facebook group may show, she expects to have at least a good percentage of those confirmed.

Tucker Beeninga, a senior in landscape architecture, said he couldn’t estimate how many will show, but thinks it may be more than 90. 130 individuals on Facebook were listed as “maybe attending.”

Sankar said the initiative, which sold T-shirts in the Brickyard yesterday with the words “Student Government epic fail” on them, is concerned about both the fees and the lack of impact the student fee referenda had on the senate’s resolution.

Beeninga said the “Rally Against Talley” movement, which had 1,348 members early Wednesday morning, began on Facebook because of the timing of the Senate’s decision.

“It was over fall break,” Beeninga said. “We didn’t have access to any other form of getting people together.”

Beeninga said his group is encouraging students to speak tonight at the meeting, and while members’ concerns range from the Senate’s resolution to the renovations, his individual opinion concerns the student senators.

“It’s more, to me, about the Student Government not listening to the students,” he said.

Sankar said the group and protest is largely a catch-all for all who are upset about the process by which the fees were approved.

“There are definitely troubles around the fees,” Sankar said. “I do think the primary concern of the group is that Student Government is not representing the voices of its constituency.”

Sankar said while the questions on the ballot and the criteria the senate used to evaluate the referenda were misleading, students still voted down the measure.

“The majority voted against the fee and the Senate shouldn’t be passing the fee,” Sankar said. “It’s definitely a major threat to student democracy.”

According to the resolution, the criteria the Senate used to evaluate the referenda were based on the three questions: Whether students see a need for increased funding for a respective project or service, whether students expressed a particular fee is a top priority among all other proposed fee increases and whether a majority of students voted in support of at least partial funding of a proposed fee increase.

Student Senate President and Fee Review Committee Co-Chair Kelli Rogers said the Senate and committee considered a smaller fee since the student center fee increase met only two of the three criteria, but determined to do so would be irresponsible since construction could be delayed and possibly more costly.

Sankar said the question asking students to rank fees in order of priority shouldn’t have been considered since it was hypothetical.

“The three questions, I see them almost as a fail-safe,” Sankar said. “If students didn’t have to pay then of course they would be for renovation. In this situation money is an object.”
