SA should not simply serve special interest groups

For several years, significant concerns have been raised about advising for almost every pre-professional track other than the pre-health one. Several students have walked into meetings with advisors to be told that Rice has no resources to help them find opportunities they want and need. Senate Bill #2, which created a Health Professions Taskforce, serves to garner more support for what is already one of the most supported fields at Rice. Therefore, the Student Association’s support of this initiative has shown that it is out of touch with the more pressing needs of Rice students.
