A bill allocating funding to the "Compassion and Justice Consultation" with special guest Alice Walker was passed Tuesday night in the House of Student Representatives.

According to the bill, SGA will allocate $10,000 to support the event scheduled from April 28 through May 1 at TCU.

Melanie Harris, professor of religion and advocate for the event, said bringing Alice Walker would further TCU's mission statement to help educate individuals to think and act as ethical leaders in the global community.

But she is committed to obtaining her degree. Last year, 155 nontraditional students entered TCU, according to an e-mail written by Director of Transfer Admissions Joael Kelly.
