On behalf of the SGA Executives, we would like to recognize the custodial staff on their outstanding job in maintaining the Clark Student Center. The staff has worked tirelessly this fall semester to keep the CSC clean and welcoming to all visitors. Even though they are short staffed, the custodial personal have not allowed this issue to define their ability to continue to keep Midwestern State University beautiful. If you have a chance, take a walk around the Clark Student Center. You will see the custodial staff continuously working throughout the day. We ask that you consider giving thanks for their diligent work. It’s staff members like these, who make MSU a welcoming home to over 6,000 students.

Background information: Last spring, administrators considered outsourcing some campus services positions such as custodial stuff to realize nearly $300,000 in budget cuts. To avoid outsourcing, facilities services eliminated nine unfilled positions. No one lost their job, but some custodians now work different hours and service more space.
