Residence Life Commission Report

Good evening all.  Senator Noble is still awaiting word on the Halloween Fee Implementation Team meetings.  Senator Smith is continuing to work on updating our rules so that we can have electronic voting this spring.  She plans to wrap up her research within the next week or so.  She, Senator Golby, and myself also took part in the lighting walk this past Sunday. 

Senator Kostiha is set to meet with Chief of Staff Gargulio this Friday to discuss the dining hall petition.  Her new target date is Sat. Feb. 24.  Senator Finical has arranged to have Dean Hogan come and give a presentation to Senate about the Implementation of the new alcohol policy on Feb. 14. 

Senator Golby and Senator Pollard are gathering contact info from tRAC and the Learning Communities about hall councils and classes we can visit to give a presentation on the Student Trustee Selection Committee.

Interns Catie, Jen, and Joni are doing research on MAC and Peer Institutions’ Athletic programs and their respective budgets.  They are also looking into the specifics of Title IX and statistics regarding the number of institutions currently in compliance, as well as the penalties associated with non-compliance. 

On Sunday, I met with Sen. Cataline and Commissioner Heery to draft preliminary survey questions for the Semesters v. Quarters issue.  I also met with Senator Bell and helped to draft the Athletic Cuts resolution that is before you this evening.  In other news, we’re trying to schedule a meeting with Barb Harrison to discuss disability room selection.
