6. Officer  Reports   a. Rochelle  -­  Freshman  Class  representatives:  Apply!  You  would  lead  your  own   task  force  and  receive  a  stipend.   b. Andrew  -­  Alcohol  policy:  met  with  John  Jobson.  Res  life’s  number  one  priority  is   that  student’s  come  home  safely,  however,  if  you  are  causing  a  disturbance,  RAs   can  use  the  policy  that  your  body  is  a  container,  and  you  can  be  written  up.  If  you   were  not  causing  a  disturbance,  they  can  document  you  and  not  report  you.     i.
There  is  a  difference  between  documenting  and  reporting.  RAs  are   encouraged  to  document  everything,  but  they  do  not  report  minor   violations.  Documenting  is  writing  down  a  situation,  and  the
RD/RLC/SARD  receives  notification,  reporting  goes  to   administration/campus  safety/judicial  review.   ii.
There  is  still  some  confusion,  we  will  invite  Dr.  Jobson  to  come  speak  to   our  group.   iii.
Safety  statement  will  be  posted  on  the  facebook  page,  and  has  been   posted  at  the  SUD.
