Bills regarding college mergers and an explicit T-shirt were presented during Tuesday's ASMSU meeting.
Officials from MSU's undergraduate student government plan to announce concerns about lack of student involvement in a decision to downsize the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
ASMSU officials will follow the lead of the college's own student government, the Student Senate, which recently passed a bill to show its opposition to the merger.
The departments are set to combine because of budget difficulties.
The bill said ASMSU would issue a statement to college officials, Provost Lou Anna Simon and MSU President M. Peter McPherson.
Bruce Serven, representative for the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, said the purpose of the bill is not to stop the merger, but the lack of student involvement in the issue.
"This message will inform the university level that this was done without student participation," Serven said during the meeting.
Serven also said the message will convey to university officials that future student involvement in similar issues is necessary.
Also in the meeting, representatives from the Academic Assembly passed a bill to denounce the circulation of sexually explicit anti-University of Michigan shirts and fliers, following a similar decision made by Student Assembly last Thursday.
ASMSU will make a statement against a flier distributed throughout campus in October bearing the phrase "Wolverines Pack Fudge" above an explicit drawing as an advertisement for shirts bearing the same image.
Members from the Alliance of Lesbian, Bi, Gay and Transgender Students made a presentation at the beginning of the meeting before the assembly to say the fliers and shirts were offensive to some MSU students. The student government has a responsibility to intervene when harassment could cause harm to students, the group said.
Serven argued that the public declaration would not infringe upon free speech.
"There is a right to free speech, unless it infringes upon others," Serven said.
The bill also stated ASMSU will continue to lobby the Department of Student Life for repercussions for students who violate the anti-discrimination policy.
