The Hatchet’s editorial board calls on members of the executive branch of the Student Association to do more to share their progress on major student issues with the students.

Student Association President Jason Lifton told The Hatchet he considers updating the SA’s Marvin Center office one of his biggest accomplishments this year.

Given the SA executive board’s lack of visible progress on major student issues this semester, it’s not surprising that Lifton points to such a minor change as a notable accomplishment for his administration.

The SA exists for one purpose and one purpose only: to advocate on the behalf of GW students.

Members of the executive board are tasked with acting as liaisons between University officials and the student body. Every year, candidates vying for the position of SA president and vice president draw up platforms that incorporate how they want to improve student life on campus.
