In a 24-23 vote, the Student Government Association voted to pass a resolution against restricting undocumented immigrants from higher education.

For almost three hours, the SGA Senate listened to questions and debate from SGA senators and from students and members of the community. The Senate meeting ended with a vote by ballot in which senators could vote “yes”, “no”, or abstain.

The resolution, written by SGA senator at-large Logan Krusac, condemns Georgia House Bill 59, which if passed would prevent undocumented students from attending any public university or college in Georgia, including the University. It urges state legislators to vote “no” on HB 59 or any similar bill.
