Union signature drive successful, renovation will be on ballot

The Wisconsin Union Directorate announced their signature drive in support of the Wisconsin Union Facilities Improvement Plan earned enough signatures to be placed on the Associated Students of Madison's March 28 ballot at a press conference Monday.  

 

WUFIP is an effort to renovate Memorial Union and construct a new south campus union building. The petition, which circulated around campus during February, needed 5 percent of the student population, 1,192 signatures, to sign, but it exceeded this amount with 2,881. The plan will be reviewed Tuesday, and the signatures will be verified by ASM's Student Judiciary Committee to ensure its spot on the ballot to be formally voted on by students, according to a press statement from WUD.
