Passed Legislation 2026-2027
S.B. 103.09 |A RESOLUTION TO ENCOURAGE TIMELY COMMUNICATION AND REPAIRS FOR THE DILLARD HALL ELEVATOR
The resolution addresses the broken elevator in Dillard Hall, which has been out of service since students moved in for Fall 2026. This has created inconveniences and accessibility challenges for students, staff, and visitors, especially those with injuries, limited mobility, or heavy belongings. Although repairs have begun, the resolution asks the university to prioritize completing them, provide residents with regular updates, and respond more quickly to future maintenance issues.

S.B. 103.07| A RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE BYLAWS BY REQUIRING THE MARKETING DIRECTOR TO UPDATE THE SGA WEBSITE
By Griffin Brock
The resolution proposes amending the SGA bylaws to require the Marketing Director to update the SGA website with all passed and failed legislation within 14 days. Currently, the website archives have not been updated since the 100th Senate, making it difficult for students to stay informed about SGA decisions. The amendment would establish a clear deadline to ensure legislation is published consistently.
S.B. 103.11 |A RESOLUTION TO CHANGE LIBRARY DEVICE LENDING POLICIES
By Josh Corrigan
The resolution requests that ACU’s Brown Library change its device lending policies to make borrowing university devices more convenient for students who do not own personal devices. Currently, students must exchange borrowed devices every four hours and cannot keep them overnight. These restrictions make completing assignments and studying more difficult and may create socioeconomic disadvantages.
S.B. 103.10 | A RESOLUTION TO PETITION THE BEAN TO FIX OR PURCHASE A NEW TOASTER
By Griffin Brock
The resolution requests that the Bean repair or replace its current four-slice toaster because neither side was working as of October 21, 2026. Students currently have to hold their bagels down to toast them, slowing down the process. The toaster area is also congested because it shares space with the coffee supplies and the only nearby trash can, creating longer wait times and frustration.
S.R. 103.09 |A RESOLUTION TO REQUEST THE BEAN TO NOT PUT SAUCE ON THE CHICKEN
SANDWICHES
By Aiden Colderon
The resolution requests that the Bean stop automatically putting sauces on chicken sandwiches and instead allow students to add their own sauces at the sauce station. Currently, students may receive sauces they did not choose or dislike, which can cause food waste. The resolution also raises concerns about students potentially having allergic reactions to unknown sauces.
S.R. 103.07 |A RESOLUTION TO REQUEST THE BEAN TO PUT LABELS ON THE UTENSILS
HOLDERS
By The Bean Committee
The resolution requests that the Bean add labels or stickers to utensil holders so students and staff can easily identify where forks, spoons, and other utensils are located. Currently, people often have to pick up utensils or look inside containers to find the one they need, which can be inconvenient and increase the risk of spreading germs by putting unwanted utensils back.
S.R. 103.07 | A RESOLUTION TO RESQUEST THE BEAN TO FIX THE SQUARE TABLES
By Faith Poelstra
The resolution requests that ACU Dining repair the square tables in the Bean because many of them wobble, shake, or are improperly attached. These unstable tables can cause food and drinks to spill, creating an unpleasant dining experience for students and extra cleanup for staff.
S.R. 103.06 | A RESOLUTION TO REQUEST THE INSTALLATION OF PICKLEBALL COURT
UMBRELLAS TO IMPROVE SHADE AND PLAYER COMFORT
By Olivia Anderson
The resolution requests that ACU administration install umbrellas at the pickleball courts to provide shade for students and community members. Currently, the courts lack shaded areas where players can rest between games. The added umbrellas would help reduce discomfort, fatigue, and potential health risks caused by prolonged sun exposure. The request is also supported by feedback from court users who want shaded seating.
S.R. 103.05 | A BILL TO PURCHASE NEW POOL STICKS, A CUE STICK WALL RACK, AND BILLIARD CHALK IN THE CAMPUS DEN FOR STUDENT RECREATIONAL USE
By JDanielle Galon and Olivia Anderson
The bill proposes spending $100 to improve the pool equipment in ACU’s Campus Den. It requests two new pool cue sticks, a wall-mounted cue stick rack, and billiard chalk. The current pool sticks are damaged and improperly stored, creating frustration for students and potential safety hazards. The new equipment would make pool more enjoyable, keep the area organized, and help protect the equipment from further damage.
S.B. 103.04 | A BILL TO PURCHASE NEW POOL STICKS FOR THE FRESHMAN DORMS
By The Freshman Class Senators
The bill proposes spending up to $150 to purchase six new pool cue sticks for ACU’s freshman dorms: Bullock, Mabee, and Wessel Hall. Currently, 14 of the 16 existing pool sticks are unusable, making it difficult for students to enjoy the pool tables. The new sticks would replace the broken ones, improve recreational opportunities, and boost student morale.
S.B. 103.03 |A BILL TO PURCHASE SAND BAGS AND SAND FOR THE SGA TENT
By Sara Carreon
The bill proposes spending up to $40 to purchase sandbags and sand for the SGA tent at ACU. Because the tent is used for outdoor events and Abilene experiences strong, unpredictable winds, sandbags would help keep the tent securely in place. They can be used on both grass and concrete, making the tent safer and more reliable for SGA members hosting student events.
C.B. 103.02 | A BILL TO INSTALL WHITEBOARDS IN EACH POD IN BARRET HALL
By Jason Minor
This bill, written by Jason Minor for the Fall 2026 103rd Senate, proposes installing whiteboards in every pod in Barrett Hall. Currently, whiteboards are only available in the first-floor common area, making it inconvenient for students who prefer studying in their own pods.
The bill argues that having mounted 4' x 3' whiteboards in each pod would help students study more effectively, retain information, and avoid distractions from busy common areas.
S.B 103.01 | Approval of the 2025 Fall Semester Student Organization Budget
By Paxson Wecker and Themba Mlondiwa
This bill proposes the formal passage of the Fall 2026 budget for funding ACU student organizations. Under the SGA Constitution, up to 60% of SGA funds may be allocated to student organizations to support their activities, events, and initiatives. The Executive Cabinet has carefully reviewed and proposed a budget that aligns with the SGA mission to engage, equip, and empower students. Upon approval, allocated funds will be accessible to organizations that agree to the terms and conditions set by the President’s Cabinet, ensuring transparency, accountability, and fair distribution.
