Student groups, including the Black Men's Forum (BMF) and Black Students Association (BSA) attended last week's meeting to show their support for Burton, filling the back rows of Sever 113.
But Black Students Association President Alicia E. Johnson '01 said while most of the members of her organization she has spoken to support Burton, the BSA is not taking an official stand or planning an organized group trip to the meeting.
Johnson said she thinks apathy will suppress non-council members' attendance on both sides of the issue, as well.
"I think that a lot of people are probably just tired of the situation," she said.
Johnson said she is encouraging members to contact their council representatives to register their thoughts, but with a secret ballot, it is unclear how non-council members' actions will affect the proceedings.
And this week, BGLTSA executives said they were also unaware of plans to organize their members to attend the meeting in support of Burton.
Because council members will vote by secret ballot, however, they will be free to ignore non-council perspectives.
