Regional marketing director. No real academic complaints<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: Problems is department chairs are clear and think mandatory for final. But not the case. They book rooms they don\u2019t need and give out take home finals due on that day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>SOARC<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Messineo<\/strong>: Presidents meeting Monday. Got thrown up on by first grader.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MacKinnon<\/strong>: How do you play Quidditch?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Messineo<\/strong>: Every group shows up and talks<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: Been discussion by bylaws committee about including SOARC handbook in updating bylaws, make sure committee is aware, do you have discussion with SPO about penalty I want to be enforced. Which is workshops at presidents meeting for organizations, continued to offer workshops if want, instead of just freezing I think we should make them go to workshop before we unfreeze, try something new. If miss budget timeline internal group issue but should be educated on leadership skills. Groups that miss rerec should need transition workshop which few groups sign up for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Messineo<\/strong>: SPO is pretty much non existent. You don\u2019t know who is signing in at presidents meeting as part of groups. More of who you\u2019re sending than if you\u2019re sending anybody at all. Some groups have people sign in one person for 2 organizations. Had group presidents knew paperwork was due and held onto it and told organization they handed it in. We can\u2019t ask people how their president is doing. Can put standards but down to person to do their job. Senate can\u2019t run 90 clubs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: Rather have somebody from organization than nobody<\/p>\n<p><strong>Messineo<\/strong>: But if general member doesn\u2019t pay attention its good as nobody being there<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boiteau<\/strong>: We can freeze budgets now but doesn\u2019t teach them a lesson<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: We don\u2019t want to be a no fun committee, we have to be serious because we\u2019re nonprofit<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boiteau<\/strong>: But we\u2019re still students<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: And so are they<\/p>\n<p><strong>Messineo<\/strong>: Need to figure out what is going on with speakeasy, is budget frozen?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boiteau<\/strong>: No<\/p>\n<p><strong>Messineo<\/strong>: Needs to be, told lady I won\u2019t respond to emails anymore, told her I need to deal with student.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boiteau<\/strong>: I\u2019ll say their budget is frozen until you talk to us. I\u2019ll freeze it tomorrow. Anybody else to freeze?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Messineo<\/strong>: That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boiteau<\/strong>: If not recognition this year keep till next year and then drain<\/p>\n<p><strong>K Stewart<\/strong>: Kid came in today and said professor wants me to start sociology club<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: why we don\u2019t fund<\/p>\n<p><strong>K Stewart<\/strong>: Pretty sure he will sign up and Kim gave paperwork<\/p>\n<p><strong>Messineo<\/strong>: Speakeasy isn\u2019t recognized because don\u2019t have treasurer<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>DOC<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pezza<\/strong>: Shirts are here, I\u2019ll know more.

Formal is January 29<sup>th<\/sup> sat $45 a person money ASAP to Kim. Deadline is the 17<sup>th<\/sup> for the semester. Wanted us to talk about how long we need her in finals<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: Kim is going to keep regular schedule for exam week, but did tell her she can take day off that week if she wants and can come one day the following week would be fine. Approached wanted Kim\u2019s assistance for student part of website. Huge for students, I told Kim if she wants to come in 5 days in January and work on that I\u2019m ok with that. It\u2019s very important and we should do it. Make a huge difference in campus life. 5 days of pay, not huge deal. She already took 2 days off so its only 3 extra days really.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boiteau<\/strong>: Not a big deal, she actually works.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: Very important needs to get done right. We\u2019re going to have input and say on what goes in<\/p>\n<p><strong>K Stewart<\/strong>: She asked me things that should be on it<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: Huge opportunity for us.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prata<\/strong>: For formal payment is when Kim\u2019s last day is. Need to give final payment 7 days in advance, and have final number, I can give final payment the day of. Thing with bus you already heard. Ski trip in February.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cologna<\/strong>: Co sponsor with snowboard club<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prata<\/strong>: Probably, good way to collaborate with groups more. Secret snowman stuff due this week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Finance<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boiteau:<\/strong> 2 bills next week, contingency travel. Meeting on computer tomorrow with inventory people to install software. Not communicating. Then should be all set to label everything. Kim made budget paperwork timeline poster board, gave groups same time lines Allen has in past. Behind my desk as well. When out last Monday have until February 4<sup>th<\/sup> so enough time before finals and a week after we get back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MacKinnon<\/strong>: have fun with budgeting<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: How are sample forms<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boiteau<\/strong>: Still on desk<\/p>\n<p><strong>Holzman<\/strong>: I think one of my purchase recs was lost<\/p>\n<p><strong>K Stewart<\/strong>: 10 4 Holzman<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>CIO<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Holzman<\/strong>: get SOARC handbook finalized to get it out for Monday presidents meeting. Framing transition binders so you all get homework over winter break. Write letter to next person in your position.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cologna<\/strong>: Contact sheets would be cool<\/p>\n<p><strong>Holzman<\/strong>: I\u2019m going to make up a template to go off of and binder with not a lot of stuff and figure you\u2019ll stuff that should be in your binder and put all in there. Every position will have a this is how you do the job binder then a general binder of info not position particular. Have started framework<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: Need to have good binders because new people will be taking over positions<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Bylaws<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>K Stewart<\/strong>: Don\u2019t know what you want to know but last week tackled DOC and secretary job descriptions. For DOC takeout that DOC can report to full senate on decision need interpretation. Made a table of contents which is 4 pages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MacKinnon<\/strong>: I\u2019ll present amended version tomorrow<\/p>\n<p><strong>K Stewart<\/strong>: This week Bruce is coming. Need to look at liaison reports and change to allow online voting. 1 bill at end because it seems best<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cologna<\/strong>: Just not annual meeting<\/p>\n<p><strong>Holzman<\/strong>: If cutting that close extend committee<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: Got to be careful with new senate<\/p>\n<p><strong>K Stewart<\/strong>: Calendar of stuff can add things to it<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: Suggestions coming your way<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: Apprehensive about online voting<\/p>\n<p><strong>K Stewart<\/strong>: At least make it option I would say<\/p>\n<p><strong>Holzman<\/strong>: Currently say you have to appear in person so one thing to have it online at polling station but to do it via sakai where you can do it wherever whenever.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cologna<\/strong>: I have required class next semester 6-8. Technically according to current language of bylaws I am allowed absences then I go to rules and ethics, other people interpret I appeal to rules and ethics. My biggest thing is if I can have my vice chair at meeting and I have committee, because transition would waste time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>B Stewart<\/strong>: I don\u2019t think anybody will write you up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Holzman<\/strong>: brought up about being SOARC handbook to solidify rerec. What makes most sense, proposing to bylaws requirement that SOARC chair maintains SOARC handbook like finance handbook which would mean it needs to be there. Leave changes to SOARC handbook to SOARC chair by majority vote.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: Get printout of schedule if they have class that time. Send out email about next semester.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cologna<\/strong>: My point was I wanted to go through parliamentary procedure of it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: I don\u2019t know what to do, it would be diff if wasn\u2019t losing 2 top people on committee would like to work something out<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Cultural<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Davis<\/strong>: Today is multicultural fair. Last week had meeting with director of WRIU for project Pangea and djs. Went well. Working on presenting good event for fundraising Ellery pond. Incorporate SEC and other orgs as well. Next week another meeting to finalize what we want to do. Ill let you know what plans are exactly after. Next presidents meeting is next week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: Terms I\u2019ve coined to describe parts of our budget so it doesn\u2019t say r and s are not budgeted. When org that is not an r, m and s either teach skill or provide service or major enterprise. Only reason they get more money is they have associated costs of doing business. Sec is exception<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boiteau<\/strong>: Only a handful of groups could request more. Majority of groups are r.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates:<\/strong> Cicero at request of Brandford has been looking into other schools about chief diversity officer. Associate vice president of diversity. Going to work with him with that, if you have ideas let me know. Need better working between committees. Master calendar put as cultural issue. Requested I go to meeting at Brown. In terms of diversity we\u2019re doing good because I went to Dooleys office and told him stuff and it was in paper few days later. Positive feedback from the vice president about what Dooley thinks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Secretary<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Segal<\/strong>: Still barely anybody handed in their liaison reports, haven\u2019t gotten anymore.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: For future liaisons in bylaws, be strict requirements about what they have to do, and when a president appoints there should be written agreements.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>External<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>B Stewart<\/strong>: Not too much from last night. Got email from secretary of Narragansset coalition, complained about parties and action plan how to fix. Nobody really cares. Want to lobby town counsel. Don\u2019t want them to revise ordinance, want to take action before. Come up with plan to go about this. Getting down to wire now, they\u2019re getting more aggressive and create action plans that aren\u2019t good. Maximum occupancy one is ridiculous. C knight and I going around to realtors tomorrow to get statements they should hate it, will lose money. Town thinks if house has 6 people will be crazier, but 4 people could be just as bad. Some houses 3 people just as bad. Awful what think they can get away with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: We need to protect students and rights<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prata<\/strong>: Can Dooley and administration help us?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: Can\u2019t depend on them<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prata<\/strong>: They don\u2019t take us serious because were student but if president is backing us<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: Aren\u2019t going to interfere with town counsel issue. Need to be serious about this and only worry about ourselves<\/p>\n<p><strong>B Stewart<\/strong>: Meeting is 7<sup>th<\/sup>, so faster we work the better<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: Need to pry into minds of town counsel members<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coates<\/strong>: Talked about 18+ nightclubs on campus at meeting today Kingston is a dry town so need to lobby that.
