MSUSA dropped
By Adam Hammer

Monday, December 8, 2003
The SCSU student government broke the news of the overwhelming support from its student body to withdraw from MSUSA during the MSUSA Presidential Board of Directors meeting over the weekend.
SCSU hosted the three-day event that opened with a Presidential Board of Directors conference slated for Friday in the Atwood Little Theater Lounge with a call from State Chair holder Sam Edmund.
Southwest State University and Moorhead State University were absent at the time.
The conference opened with the president of each college addressing the board with current events and issues from their campuses. It was then that SCSU Student Government President Cory Lawrence presented a four-and-one-half page report to the Presidential Board of Directors explaining the election results and SCSU's intentions to modify its relationship with MSUSA.
"We hope this is a chance for all schools to look at their relationships with MSUSA," Lawrence said.
Lawrence pointed out that this is not a new agenda for SCSU. The 1997-98 student government body addressed concerns with MSUSA's representation of SCSU, as well as the 1998-99 association.
Throughout the 2003 fiscal year, SCSU contributed $179,818 to MSUSA, more than any of the six other state universities that it represents.
Past Student Government President John Pritchard also pointed out that there were talks of SCSU pulling out of MSUSA in 1973-74.
Lawrence declared that this association of the student government intends to finish what they started.
