CENTRAL CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY
Student Union Board of Governors
Present: A. Clayton, R. Edison, W. Henderson, S. Kamani, T. Kiernan, S.
Lamont, M. Moylan, D. Orloske, A. Perlova, D. Peterson, D. Ross, R.
Schneeweiss, P. Sutera, S. Vial, D. Wall, C. West (Chair)
Ms. West called the last meeting of the 1996-1997 academic year to order at
6:33 p.m.
Ms. Clayton, chair of the House Committee, gave a report. It was proposed
that one-half of a bulletin board in the North Hall be assigned for
Hispanic community concerns. After some discussion concerning preserving
general "posting" space, the motion was defeated. This action was not
intended to be a repudiation of the request but, rather, a need to examine
all bulletin board space in a greater context. This will be some of the
work of the House Committee next year.
MOTION (P. Sutera/M. Moylan) That one-half of bulletin board in
the North Hall be assigned for Hispanic community concerns.
Motion defeated.
Mr. Henderson, chair of the Student Services Committee, reported on an
attempt to have a meeting with DAKA. Mr. Henderson suggested that a
monthly meeting be pre-arranged. He also reported on the successful
commuter coffee series.
Mr. Wall then gave the Budget Committee report.
MOTION (D. Wall/A. Clayton ) That a Leadership Training Reserve
account be established from the unused portion of the following accounts:
Leadership Weekends - #994620, Leadership Recognition - #994630, Leadership
Training Program - #994640, and Leadership Development Publications - #994650.
Discussion: Mr. Schneeweiss explained that in previous years, the unused
fee dollars identified for student development reverted to the Program
Council Reserve. The principle being that development money should go to
student development, and program money should go to event creation.
Motion passed (10 approved, 0 against, 1 abstained) (SUBOG 97-11)
MOTION (D. Wall/M. Moylan) That $1,000 be transferred after July
1, 1997, from PC Reserve #994100, to Summer Program #994610. Intent is
to produce annual summer programs.
