Student Response to Slots

Students across the USM are responding in a variety of ways to representative student groups taking positions on Referendum Question 2 on the Maryland ballot authorizing slots.

• The Towson Towerlight highlighted student discontent from the Black Student Union and other groups in a recent article.
• The Diamondback highlighted in an article today the inaction, despite action by other student groups, of the UMCP SGA.
• The Retriever Weekly highlighted the SGA's action in an article and opinion piece.
  
• The UMBCUnderground Blog discussed the SGA's position a few days ago in a post discussion 
• The USM Student Council endorsed the referendum (6-1-4) in a letter to Chancellor Kirwan.

In general, student groups have been split, about 2/3 in support, and 1/3 in opposition.  Many have felt uneasy supporting a position either way and would have preferred to take no position (as did UMCP SGA).  Others felt a strong obligation to take a stand.

Has any of this impacted your vote on question 2?
