Public Comment:
Sasha from WashPRIG came to the GSU meeting this week to give an update of what they have been doing and to join forces. WashPRIG is working on a project to ban plastic bags in Thurston County to protect thePuget Sound. What the WashPRIG would like to do with the GSU specifically is to have a voter registration training to educate younger students on why they should be voting. She gave us her contact information for further information and action.
Due to frequent absences, the GSU has created a new policy to effectively work with absent members. It reads:
“If a representative has 2 unexplained absences in a row, or 4 explained and/or unexplained absences total, a subcommittee of at least 3 members will be formed to address the issue. This committee will try to contact the absent representative and then make a recommendation to the GSU about what should be done.”
