Story 5: “New RSO application released to address concerns of student groups”
This article written by Lucas Ruud informs students on the new Registered Student Organization application process being implemented at UMass. Ruud points out that the previous application was difficult for students, as they had little information and assistance when applying. One of the new additions to the process is an interest form, which is being put in place to help plan the application. Along with the interest form, the Undergraduate Registry Oversight Committee plans to meet with those applying to be an RSO and help them before they turn in applications. Finally, the Student Government Association will also be available to help students, specifically with what language students should use on the application. The Student Government Association Secretary of the Registry also comments that he is open to more changes if these do not fully address the current issues students are facing with the process.
