On the afternoon of April 14, the Jacksonville State University Faculty Senate met to discuss subjects such as the proposed stadium expansion, the increase in tuition, and the plan by the university to implement a bus transit system on campus.
President Dr. William Meehan addressed the faculty members, informing them of the events of the morning's meeting of the Board of Trustees.
Faculty members questioned Meehan about the transit system, and he assured the senate that funding for the transit system is coming from a grant and will not be fully funded by the university.
The faculty senate also discussed the tuition increase, and Meehan reminded them that tuition doesn't increase very often at JSU.
"We have not gone up in tuition in the last two years," Meehan said. "Jacksonville State University is the only institution of higher learning in the state of Alabama that has not raised tuition in the last two years."
The meeting was Dr. James Rayburn's last as president of the JSU faculty senate. Rayburn's term as president ends at the end of this semester.
Meehan took time in his address to praise Rayburn.
"I want to compliment Dr. Rayburn for the way he has represented our faculty this last year," Meehan said. "He's done a great job."
