7:00 p.m. | Attendance
7:02 | Committee Report from Board of House Presidents: Raymond: “We worked on the House Officer Expectation document, which we drafted based on what we think should be the expectations of the house officers. It was approved by [the Office of] Residential Life. In terms of fall training, we’re working with Residential Life to revamp fall training and also to figure out the best way to do training and transitioning this spring.”
7:06 | Executive Report from Activities: “April is just an insane month in terms of programming,” says Activities. “I know a lot of organizations have a ton of events coming up. The calendar is booked!” Activities also notes that the Fall Leadership Conference Committee is beginning to meet in preparation for next year’s annual training event for organization leaders. “We’re always trying to make it better,” says Activities.
7:06 | Executive Report from Finance: “Something that I really tried to prevent this year was to not give out too much money at the beginning of the year. I think we’ve remained pretty steady throughout the course of this semester and the last. But as Activities said, the year is coming to an end, and we’re going to be seeing a lot of [fund] applications coming up.”
7:24 | Student Life moves to adopt a revised draft of the Council’s annual Administrative Review; this year, the Student Life and Academics Committees looked at and collected feedback about the Office of International Programs, which handles students’ studies abroad. An earlier version of the Review was discussed by Council members last semester.
7: 27 | Council votes unanimously in favor of the motion.
7:37 | Academics brings up the recent discussion and controversy that has occurred on campus in response to an event planned this past Saturday called “Free Weezy Mug Night.”
7:38 | 2012: “Everyone was so angry that people weren’t really hearing each other. It makes me more upset that we’re not listening to each other on this campus.”
7:41 | Cushing: “For some reason this conversation has brought to mind the forums that we’ve had this year. Even though I think it’s important that we’ve had forums on issues like technology and the deer cull that happened earlier this year, I think what our forums have been lacking have been issues of student life that would reach out to voices that we as a Council don’t normally address.”
7:56 | Council adjourned
