Funding Requests
- Mike Woods requested $100 for the women’s table tennis team to travel to nationals in Ohio. Approved.
- John Leichty requested funds to take Professor Lange to lunch with Peter Liu and Max Merfeld. Students wishing to take advantage of the MOSH funding to take professors out to lunch are supposed to write up a report about what was talked about to submit to the MOSH. Approved.
- Ben Steele requested $500 for Blacker’s interhouse party on April 14. This will come out of the new budget.
BoC
- Jean has been looking into ways to change the leadership of the BoC and CRC to make things more efficient.
- These changes came from the BoC survey from last year, as well as the Student-Faculty Conference committee on honor code.
- Right now the ASCIT vice-president is the same as the BoC chair. Since the CRC was created 10 years ago, it doesn’t make sense to have the BoC chair represent the honor code for the entire campus, so the work load is overwhelming. The proposed idea is to create a new position for the vice-president - the honor chair. They would be in charge of education, orientations, going to frosh camp, and going to meetings about the honor code. The position would be separate from the position of BoC chair, who would only run cases. This person would have to have a years experience on the BoC or CRC. Under this new system, the CRC chair and BoC chair would not sit on the BoD.
- There is also thinking about restructuring BoC and CRC. The new structure of the BoC would involve having 2 co-chairs instead of chair and secretary. The possible change in the structure of CRC would involve having students lead it instead of faculty.
- The proposed bylaws will be drafted by the end of spring break so that they can be presented at the Student-Faculty Conference on April 5th. Jean has already gotten the idea approved by the deans and chair of the faculty board.
- Changes to the bylaws must be made 1 article at time, so there will be a total of 3 votes to make these proposed changes.
- The honor chair would review cases of BoC and CRC. After BoC and CRC makes a decision, they go over it with the deans. The honor chair would go over every case with the deans, but they would not sit in on cases.
- There is also a minor bylaw change proposed to allow IHC chair and ASCIT president to sit on BoC cases.
Social team
- Iain Cranston, an exchange from Edinburgh, wants to organize a British themed party. He would like to show students what parties are like for them. They plan on having the party with grad students, and are getting support from the GSC and ISP. He requests money for alcohol, djs, etc. It will be held in Winnet center. Inside there will be dancing, and outside there will be English bar. April 19th is the proposed date for the event. Requested $500 from somewhere in the budget (wherever Angela decides). Approved.
DVD library
- Daryl talked to Tom Mannion about finding cases, who told him to talk to Tim Chang, who told him to talk to someone else, who doesn’t think that they are at St. Lukes. Buying new cases would only cost 10 cents per case, however labeling them would take time quite a while.
ARC Rep-at-large
- ARC selected their new secretary and Reps-at-large.
- The new secretary will be Dan Lo, and Caleb recommends the Reps-at-large to be Vibha Laljani and Brandt Belson. Vote to approve Vibha and Brandt as ARC reps-at-large. Approved
BoC Rep-at-large
- Mike recommends the two new BoC reps-at-large to be Misha Imtiaz and Jon Malmaud. Vote to approve Misha and Jon as BoC Reps-at-large. Approved
Midnight donuts
- Midnight donuts will not be tonight, Todd dropped the ball.
Good luck on finals everyone!
Respectfully
Andrea Dubin
ASCIT Secretary
