7:00 p.m. | Attendance

7:05 | Committee Report from the Committee on Admissions and Financial Aid (CAFA). Committee Representative Aashim Uskgaonkar ’13 explains that since it was announced that Vassar’s need-blind policy will be extended to the Class of 2014, CAFA has been examining the cost-benefit analysis of the need-blind policy and also at recruiting students that are “socially and economically diverse—even more so than the Class of 2013,” which, Uskgaonkar reports, is the most diverse class in the history of the College.

7:17 | Executive Report from Student Life: Student Life explains that the Student Life Committee has begun their annual Administrative Review; this year, the Committee will be looking at the Office of International Programs, which handles students’ studies abroad. Student Life asks that anyone e-mail her with feedback or concerns about the Office. She also notes that the Athletics Proposal, which passed through Council in September, is still waiting review from the Athletics Department.

7:20 | Executive Report from Academics: The VSA will host a Majors Fair tomorrow, Monday, Nov. 9,  from 1 p.m to 5 p.m. in the Villard Room. Academics also notes that staffing plans will be communicated to departments “over the next few days.” Students should expect an all-campus e-mail from Dean of the Faculty Jon Chenette this week.

7:40 | Council Adjourned.
