The UCF SGA Senate meeting started with another member of Student Body President Michael Kilbride’s cabinet stepping down.
This time, it was Attorney General Nicholas Gurney, who announced it was his “time” to move on from the position. Gurney made news recently for his opinion calling for Kilbride to share his Knightmare spending database with the SGA Senate.
Kilbride stripped nearly the entire Senate of access the same day KnightNews.com published a story exposing how he spent $8,000 in student money to host a luxury weekend retreat at a lavish, five star Disney area resort.
As of the last official word KnightNews.com has heard from Kilbride’s public relations staff, he had not complied with Gurney’s opinion and opened the Knightmare database up to Senate. However, Kilbride responded to a public records request placed by KnightNews.com this morning by agreeing to set up a time for KnightNews.com to directly access and review the Executive Branch spending records on Knightmare.
KnightNews.com will continue monitoring the Senate’s fight for Knightmare and will let you know what we find in the database once we take Kilbride up on his offer to let us review the electronic records.
In other SGA Senate news, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana laws was also present at Senate. There was some issue they were addressing about not having an SGA logo on some promotional material.
SGA rules mandate that its logo be branded on most promotional material when it helps UCF clubs fund it.
Check back for more details on this issue and other major developments at Senate.
