Member Report - Week 10

Ryan A. Rushing, Chief of Staff

1. Events Attended:a. College of Education and Human Services Ice Cream Social - 10-

29-2014b. Holidays in the Heartland College of Liberal Arts Concert - 11-2-

2014c. Amigos Latinos Business Summit - 11-10-2014

2. Old Business:a. The Nutter Center emailed both Robert Yada, Associate Director

for Governmental Affairs, and I quotes on catering and room reserval for the Student Government Scholarship Benefit. Mr. Yada and I will be working on some procedural stuff with registering the event and ensuring that it is a success. I will be meeting with Dr. Gary Dickstein, SG Advisor, to discuss reallocating funds from wages, since we have had many vacant positions, to cover the cost of this event.

a. The Student Government Strategic Planning Core Committee met for the first planning session to discuss the purpose and intent of strategic planning as well as discussing the Mission Statement. I am happy to report that much progress was made during the first planning session and the committee has drafted a rough-draft Mission Statement that the committee will edit at the next planning session (Thursday, November 13) and start discussing the Vision Statement as well as working on the possibility of a survey. Although seemingly easy, strategic planning as a tool is very essential to the success of an organization. Through Student Government’s Strategic Plan it will allow the organization to have meaning, purpose, and be intentional on everything the organization has done, and give the organization direction to move forward.

a. Aaron Engle, University College Senator, and I drafted an email that Mr. Engle will send to the various contacts that I obtained through the Raider Country Area High Schools survey that was sent out early this semester. From there, Mr. Engle and I will hopefully gain many contacts at high schools that will allow us to visit to promote the Internship Program and recruit interns for Student Government. Mr. Engle and I will also be meeting soon to draft a PowerPoint that we can present.

b. I have yet scheduled a meeting to discuss the purpose of University College. It is my intent to do this soon, with adding Gabriel Riegle, Chief Justice to the group to meet to discuss this.

c. Kyle Powell, President, and I met with Max McConnell, Director of Communications and Marketing, to further the image and effectiveness of the website. We got through many edits and ideas, one of which being my idea to create a focus group of mostly non-Student Government members to see how affective the website is in terms of content, as well as how easy it is to navigate.

d. I finalized the Student Government Scholarship awards and the three students who received awards should have been notified of their award last week. I will contacting the awardees on behalf of Student Government and the committee.

e. Rahima Hamadi, Associate Director of Academic Affairs, and I presented the research on a proposed fall break that Ms. Hamadi found to both the Senate and Cabinet and comments were generally mixed. The Senate seemed to be in favor of the idea of a proposed fall break, where the Cabinet seems to be generally against. The arguments in favor tend to be arguing that fall semester is quite lengthy and the ability to have a day or two off before generally when midterms are will give both students and faculty the opportunity to catch up on studies and personal items. Arguments against tend to be that the university already has a flexible schedule of days off including Veterans Day and Thanksgiving Day break, and adding additional days will just back up faculty members to not be able to instruct the material they would like to in the time allowed. Ms Hamadi and I concluded that a survey of both students and faculty is in order to see what both constituencies believe in to see if there is general support behind this initiative. I emailed and informed Faculty President Dr. Matt Rizki of our purpose to move forward with a survey and the proposal in general. Dr. Rizki is OK with moving forward and is more than willing to help assist in surveying and informing the faculty of this proposal.

f. Kyle Powell, President, Joe Bonvillian, Director of Disability Affairs, and I met with Dr. Rick Danals, Director of the Office of Student Activities, and Liz Beemer, Assistant Director of the

Office of Student Activities, regarding the accessibility and overall usage of the Student Organizational Complex. As previously discussed, the overall accessibility of of the Student Organizational Complex as well as usage is not the best. Students with disabilities have difficulties entering and leaving the complex, and the complex itself is being utilized more as a lounge and study area and not for student organizations. I voiced these concerns and also on the idea of some office needs to take ownership and be less territorial. The conclusion was that the House of Representatives will formulate some sort of survey to see how the complex can be better utilized.

b. New Businessa. I have nearly met with all Cabinet members with their goals

sheet and made great progress on moving many of their ideas forward. I am looking forward to seeing all of the Cabinet members’ goals proceed and reading on their progress in their reports.

b. I requested Max McConnell, Director of Communications and Marketing, to create an image for the creation of a sign to be used to take pictures with those who gave gifts to the Student Government Scholarship to help bring awareness of the scholarship. I also got a quote on what it would cost to mail the entire faculty and staff a letter soliciting gifts for the scholarship.

c. I have conversation with Gavin Doll, Director of Academic Affairs, on looking into seeing what is the policy regarding the locked dry erase markers in classrooms. Although it may not seem like a pressing issue, I have many of faculty complain about the accessibility of markers. Hopefully a solution that be found that can both allow for better access of markers as well as protecting the markers from being used inappropriate or for non-academic use and being stolen.

d. Kyle Powell, President, and I met with a student regarding concerns on transportation for students with disabilities to and from events. The complaint was that transportation to events, such at the Nutter Center and other surrounding sporting facilities, is fine, but the problem lies when the busing stops after a certain time and students feel more or less stranded there without a means to get back. I informed the student that the university is working on purchasing all new business, and during this, also looking into a process where students can request transportation to and pick from events. In the interim, I contacted the Chief of Police to see about other options that could be provided during the interim before the new buses are purchases and a process has been formed.

c. Administrative Office Report: none

b. I have emailed past applicants to Student Government about the open positions within the Judicial Branch.

6) Concernsa. Students in the Medical Field complain about not being fully

prepared in the physics courses for the MCAT. A suggestion was made to have a single semester class (instead of the current academic year class) that specifically covers material that is pertinent to the newest edition of the MCAT. If you need more info, I will get you in-touch with the originator of this idea if he/she wants to speak about it.

b. The Moat has raised a lot of controversy, and students seem to like the tradition that it has instilled, but the university realizes the potential for the space aesthetically. A majority of the students I’ve spoken with are juniors and seniors and wish the

moat to stay, but I believe it serves little purpose and should suit better as an overhang space for more tables and an open view of the quad as the younger students I have spoken with have said.

c. Students have heard about the plans for BACON, but have yet to see any construction or relocation occur. They look forward to an amphitheatre.
