One member of the Student Government Association Executive Cabinet hasn’t been on schedule with all of his office hours this semester.
Reagan Gilley, student regent and administrative vice president, has come up short of his 10 required weekly hours five times the semester, according to SGA office hour logs.
He served as few as four hours one week, according to the logs. Other weeks, Gilley spent as many as 16 or 17 hours in the office.
The president and executive vice president must spend at least 12 hours per week in the office and the AVP must spend at least 10 hours per week in the office, according to the SGA constitution.
President Kayla Shelton has fulfilled all of her required office hours so far this semester, serving as many as 40 hours one week, according to the logs.
EVP Skylar Jordan has also met his hour requirements, according to the logs.
Gilley said officers are allowed to make up missing hours, but he tries to keep his schedule somewhat balanced.
“You don’t want to spend 50 hours in the office one week and none the next,” he said.
Officers use their hours to accomplish different things such as meeting with students and administrators, planning events and working on legislation, Shelton said.
Gilley said he’s been spending the majority of his time getting acclimated to being student regent.
He was elected as student regent Feb. 26 after Johnathon Boles, former SGA president and student regent, resigned.
Gilley has been meeting with students and administrators since his election, he said.
He said he tries to stay on top of his duties as both AVP and student regent.
Chief Justice Corey Bewley said he hasn’t received any complaints about officers not meeting their hour quotas.
While the SGA officers post available weekly hours, the times they’re actually there can vary.
Jordan and Gilley logged several of their office hours during different times than listed on their official schedules, according to the logs.
Shelton served all of her hours during the times listed on her schedule, according to the documents.
Bewley said there was no ruling stating that office hours could be done at unscheduled times, but the policy was understood.
“So long as they try to be there for as many hours as they are supposed to, that’s all we ask of them,” Bewley said.
Gilley said he hasn’t had much of a problem getting in touch with students who want to meet with him.
“We let our contact information be known,” he said.
If a student comes to the office to meet with Gilley during scheduled hours and he isn’t there, an SGA member will usually give the student his cell phone number, he said.
