MADISON, WI — The ASM Student Council met for the second time this semester Wednesday night at the Student Activity Center to hear from and pose questions to Chancellor Mnookin.In Mnookin’s opening remarks to the Student Council, she overviewed the new freshman class, acknowledged the decrease in enrollment for graduate, professional and international students, shared about new buildings on campus, spoke about threats to research funding, shared about budget cuts and more.
In addition, she highlighted UW–Madison’s STARS Gold rating. According to UW–Madison, the Sustainability Tracking and Rating System (STARS) is a highly recognized framework for publicly reporting information related to a college or university’s sustainability performance.
“That was part of our sustainability strategic plan,” she said. “That’s something that students, and the ASM Sustainability group, played a really significant role in shaping.”
Student Council representatives and meeting attendees were able to ask Mnookin questions following her remarks. More information on the questions can be found here.
