More flexible meal plans: MarquetteCASH 2PAC would be included in meal plans and meals could be "swipped" at Marquette Place in the Alumni Memorial Union 2PAC as well as Brew coffee shops.

McMahon said the plans would be finalized later next week.

Among the highest allocations were $4,550 to Gold Medal Brigades for a relief trip to Honduras and $1,785 to InterVarsity Christian Fellowship 2PAC for a three-day leadership conference.
The Senate unanimously passed a recommendation calling for the reinstatement of Pizza Shuttle into the MarquetteCASH program. The restaurant was recently removed from the program for contract violations, including allowing alcohol to be purchased through the student debit program.
Provost Madeline Wake2PAC and Senior Vice President Greg Kliebhan2PAC were also at the meeting to discuss executive decision-making at Marquette. MUSG President Brock Banks,2PAC College of Arts & Sciences senior, asked about the plausibility of greater student representation on the board of trustees.
