Florida Atlantic University’s Student Government Senate held its Aug. 25 meeting, the first of the fall semester, without first posting an agenda, and has only posted draft meeting minutes nine days later. Senate records published on Owl Central show that both meeting agendas and minutes have been repeatedly late over the past year.

All facets of the university’s SG operate under Florida’s Sunshine Laws, which mandate that meetings remain open and official records stay public. Owl Central provides SG documents both to students and the general public. No Senate member uploaded an agenda for the Aug. 25 meeting until Sept. 1, after a series of questions from the University Press. The Senate posted draft minutes at 3 p.m. Thursday, nine days after the meeting

It’s officially game week for the FAU Owls. On Saturday night in Gainesville, FAU will kick off their 2026 season under the bright lights against the University of Florida.

There’s a ton of optimism and excitement for both teams, and FAU head coach Zach Kittley and Tulane HC Jon Sumrall pointed out how challenging it will be to come out with a week one victory.

“We gotta be great all around. We’ve got to communicate great, we’ve got to make sure we line up properly, we’ve got to tackle,” Kittley said in the Owls’ weekly press conference. “We’ve got to try to force turnovers on defense; we know the explosive output that they’re going to have on offense.”

Florida Atlantic football kickstarts their 2026 season heading on the road against the University of Florida Gators. Both teams head into the game looking to start their season with victories.

FAU also started their season against UF in 2021, in a game that they lost 35-14, and have a 0-4 record against the Gators all-time. Will this game be more of the same, or will FAU finally get their first win against UF? Our staff makes their predictions.

I’ve been sitting on this story for longer than I expected. When writing about a conflict in the Middle East where facts, language, and perspective matter so deeply, choosing the right words felt like a responsibility of its own.

If you told me a year ago that I would travel across the world to experience one of the world’s most media-covered conflicts up close, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. But I never expected the experience to make me question how we consume, understand, and report on a conflict from thousands of miles away.

For the trip, Hillel of Broward and Palm Beach selected a group of 18 student leaders from Florida Atlantic University to embark on its annual “Owls in Israel” trip at no cost to them. The purpose of the trip included tours of various holy sites, educational sessions with speakers of all differing perspectives, and visits to key locations that were crucial in learning about the ongoing conflict.

Hillel didn’t select me for this trip to choose a stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict. They selected me so that I could learn about the war as close to the conflict as I could get, to hear firsthand accounts from both sides, and engage in conversations I would not be able to have back in the States.

Resources, parking, and campus life were among the topics at the forefront Monday night as Florida Atlantic University Student Government leaders outlined their initiatives for the academic year.

During his presidential address, Student Body President Lance Moore and Vice President Ellie Raab addressed students and campus organizations in the Student Union on FAU’s Boca Raton campus, the first SG presidential address held in the Student Union, according to Moore.

Moore said speaking to students in places like the Student Union is important because it allows SG leaders to hear directly from the people they represent.

“If we aren’t able to speak to students where they are and meet them in their own places, like the union itself, then us as student body president and executive leaders aren’t doing our job in adhering to the body’s voice,” Moore said.
