UOSA created a webmaster position to make sure every branch’s website follows the rules and procedures required of a public body’s website.
In the fall semester, the UOSA Executive Branch, Budgetary Committee, Campus Activities Council and Undergraduate Student Congress may have violated the Open Meetings Act by failing to update their websites, according to Oklahoma Statutes.
UOSA Vice President Cory Lloyd said not having a webmaster created difficulties.
“I think it challenged all four branches ... to post everything, register everything and go above and beyond to make sure we don’t even have to tinker with that line or question is this or is this not in compliance,” Lloyd said.
It was never the intention to hide anything from students, UOSA President Franz Zenteno.
UOSA created the webmaster position to manage the websites for all four branches and prevent future issues, Lloyd said.
“We were in the process of learning,” Zenteno said. “Working with all four branches, we were able to minimize any potential negative effect that could have on the student body, and we were able to fix it.”
