Student Senate lacks appropriate governmental documentation
I have been attempting to follow the actions of the UW-River Falls Student Senate through their records. Senate's records as posted online aren't complete and show alteration. For example, all of the agendas posted by Senate in 2014-2015 show as being posted at 9:02 a.m. on April 21. This makes it impossible for a citizen to ascertain if the agendas were posted late, changed after the fact or altered in some way. What should be an official government document now has no validity and is impossible to verify.
