The Marquette Student Government unanimously passed a resolution recommending a student be appointed to the Provost Search Committee at tonight's Senate meeting.

The committee, announced last Thursday by University President the Rev. Robert A. Wild, currently has no student representation.

The committee is seeking a replacement to current Provost Madeline Wake, who will step down at the end of December.

MUSG President Brock Banks, a College of Arts & Sciences senior, said he had been in communication with Wild in attempt to get a student on the committee. Banks said Wild declined, saying he wanted to keep the size of the committee small.

The recommendation cited the "direct and immediate impact" that the provost will have on academics at Marquette and the success of students on search committees for academic deans.
