(WLFI) - The Purdue University Senate continued its April meeting Monday afternoon, and they heard several resolutions put together by the Purdue Student Government. PSG is advocating to make federal election day a designated non-instructional day, starting with the 2024 November election. Purdue did something similar this past election by scheduling a reading day for election day. However, that reading day was a one time COVID calendar change for this school year.
