1:35 Possibly of paying students for committee and they are surveying students. They are also working with the finance committee to get this structure hammered out. We potentially have the money to fund this program. We are currently thinking about a tiered structure. The largest complaint was that students weren’t being paid to sit on committees and they want to be paid for their time.

Fall Convention: Of the mind that all the sub committees need to participate in that.

Elections Outreach: Also need to be sorted out.

1:37: Finance Committee: Redoing 5 year and biennial budget plans. The budget is solid for fall quarter. If there are ideas for that money, please send requests. They are also working on the student committee reimbursement.

Faculty Meeting Update: Student code of conduct was mentioned TESC is under extreme scrutiny. There is a lot riding on the work that we do and that everyone else does. There is a leak somewhere on campus so please be careful as to what you discuss on there. We should back up present work and focus on freshman and there are two seats on the committee. Goal is to pay students to do that committee work that is needed. Event in winter which is a Symposium Pilot Pathways Structure for the curriculum. Equity, Community, Morale, and Retention.

Martha: Doesn’t think that it is needed for all the committees to say a piece.

Kai-Ave: Thinks that committee reporting is important to have transparency. What the union is doing and why are they doing it.

Andrea (Guest): Thinks that we should make class announcements. Students do things a lot by word of mouth.

Waylon: Emphasis on marketing. What is the GSU actually doing for students at TESC. Our job is also to listen as well as talk and that sometimes we forget that. Jacques mentioned the colleges have a weekly bulletin and getting GSU on that could surely be a positive.
