Bill to create an Office of Inspector General position passes in MSA
The Missouri Students Association passed a bill on Wednesday creating an Office of Inspector General position.
The bill was heavily debated within the Senate and the final amended document clarified the duties of the OIG and rescinded the previously proposed financial compensation for the holder of this office. A new amendment stated that the Senate would work toward establishing some type of compensation for the position, possibly in the form of college credit.
The bill was originally drafted in an effort to take away certain responsibilities unfairly placed within the jurisdiction of the Operations Committee.
The responsibilities of the OIG would include conduction audits, detecting waste, promoting efficiency, reviewing pending legislation, and keeping the President and Senate fully informed.
The Senate plans to have the position filled before the end of the fall semester.
