The Undergraduate Student Government Academic Assembly passed two bills and tabled, or postponed the vote, of one last night.

The legislation, which makes textbook lists public information, passed 14-0-1, with a minor amendment from last week's USG Senate approval. It was presented as a joint resolution with the senate.

The bill provides information that will help students make better decisions concerning class selections, according to the proposal sponsored by Faculty Senators Alison Altman, Loren Filson and D. Joshua Troxell.

However, before it is completed, several rewordings to the document have to go through the USG Senate again.

"We shouldn't be sending an inaccurate document into the administration," Altman said during the meeting.

But once the bill is passed, it will make more students aware of courses rather than just getting information from their degree audits, said Dan Halperin, faculty senator.

The assembly also passed a petition to the Pennsylvania State Legislature for an increase in its yearly academic subsidy, with unanimous consent.

The bill focuses on Penn State's status as a state institution and the availability of courses to justify why the university is entitled to more state funding.

"This is a really important piece of legislation," said Academic Assembly President Lynn Hendrickson.

Faculty Senator Amanda Hudnall agreed, citing that the legislation also includes Commonwealth Campuses, in addition to University Park.

Not all of the bills were passed last night. The legislation titled "A More Tolerant Environment at Penn State" was tabled by the majority of the assembly.

This bill was proposed to find solutions to the problems of hate and intolerance on campus.

"When a problem is addressed, we want to do what we can to solve that problem," said Bill Campbell, faculty senator and sponsor of the legislation.

Due to the debate over the multiple meanings of the word tolerance, this bill is being held back for further revision.

"We worked hard so that it wasn't a racial issue and hit all different communities on campus," said Erika Fullerton, a faculty senator who also sponsored the bill.
