ASUA, the student government body charged with representing UA students, approved an open-mic forum Wednesday to be held once a semester on the Mall.

Sen. Gino Duran proposed the idea to the Associated Students of the University of Arizona in an attempt to keep his campaign promise to reach out to undergraduate students. The newly established Special Senate Committee for Student Forums will transcribe student concerns at the forums and will present a report to the Senate.

Duran almost had it.
