Announcements
• New RSO: GCSU Goodrich Hillel.
• World of Wings scheduled to open Monday, November 24.
• Zoning Special Use Permit passed by City Council. Enforcement of the policy for those who do not have the permit will be based upon complaints received by the city.
• Proposed athletic fee: an increase of $15 to help provide for continued scholarships, to maintain athletic facilities, and to pay for athletic staff. If the fee were not passed, cuts would have to be made mainly to the operating budget.
• Public Safety is considering restarting the SNAP program (Student Night Auxiliary Patrol), which was stopped three years ago due to a lack of funding. The purpose of this program is to provide extra people to watch over safety on campus. Public Safety would need considerable funding to restart the program.
I. New Business
a. Bill #5: Providing funding to AITP for a convention. This bill, if passed, would provide $1000 to the GCSU chapter of the Association of Information Technology Professionals for funding to attend the National Convention in Oklahoma City during April 2009. The bill will be voted upon next week.
b. Resolution #5: Establishing a Green Fee. This resolution encourages the establishment of a mandatory Green Fee of $5 per semester as requested by the GCSU Green Initiative and Environmental Science Club. The money would go towards installing power meters, enhancing and promoting water conservation, implementing a campus-wide recycling program, community sustainability research, and environmental education campaigns. The resolution was passed onto committee with a vote of 13-4-2. A vote on the fee will occur in the Mandatory Student Fee Committee on Friday.
