Since Friday, Student Body President Jordan Johnson has been "tweeting" at the student body.
"This is a way for any student to see where their money is going every minute of the day," Johnson said in a press release.
Johnson said the Twitter postings, which came about a month after Student Senate Pro-Tempore Suzanne Hershman's Twitter debut, is a departure from former closed-door attitudes.
"Both of these developments are just the beginning of how I see my administration working to improve student life while at the same time being accessible to the public," Johnson said.
Casey Barrett, a history major at UF, said she is unsure of how effective Twitter use will be.
"I don't think this will lead to any more transparency, to be honest," Barrett said.
While some students enjoy using and following Twitter, she said, it is not something widespread enough to affect the majority of students.
"I don't even look at my best friend's Twitter. There's no way I'm going to look at student government's," she said, laughing.
