Check-ins
Alexander talked to us about the first year housing design committee. Starting in April, he will be participating in biweekly meetings for that committee and will therefore miss half the GSU meetings.
Charles talked about the state mushroom bill being on the floor and up for vote today. Is also working on another lobby day.
Asher talked about the Bias Incident Response Team’s campus wide email about the Jewish student who had a swastika drawn on the whiteboard on their dorm room.
John scheduled a meeting with Dr Kelly Brown and invited other reps to join him.
Waylon updated the team on the unpaid internships endowment.
Budget
Brandon gave everybody updated copies of the budget for next year. There are two submissions, one in the event that we get the GSU fee, one in the event that we do not. Mentioned the interim Executive Director who works during the summer.
Motion to have Brandon submit the budget to the S&A Board when approved by the team by week ten’s meeting.
Approved.
Student Forum
Molly Pumphrey talked to us about having a student forum organised on campus. She had a conversation with Wendy Endress about ideas:
- Open forum. Inviting all the students. Creating a space to talk about Evergreen.
- Sitting in the CAB or the Library a few hours at a time to promote the forum.
- Having it be student led, with no faculty.
Phoebe volunteered to help.
Motion to create a subcommittee for this forum next quarter.
Approved
