Noted that this was passed under the impression there would be loose interpretation. Some senators were not aware as to the
full implications of passing the resolution. There was concern rescinding the proposal could make us look flip-floppy. It is
possible to strike through certain portions we don’t like without rescinding the entire proposal. The item will be brought back
for consideration if solid reasons for its necessity are presented to president Achen.

Senate Retreat is next week. If going alone contact President Achen for directions and instructions. Please attend All College

Day. Senators will be asked to go up on stage, but not to speak. President Achen will speak. September 1 is first meeting of
semester, and will be happening on the quad.
There will be town hall meetings regarding the Cabrillo budget in the Sesnon House.
Charlotte has been volunteering for ACE. There are students in the program who are homeless, or with rough pasts, and they
are undergoing transformations.
It is good that we are meeting many times during summer and ironing out bumps before semester meetings begin.
Treasurer: Jospeh Gomez
th
Fall meetings for budget committee will be Thursday 2:00-2:45pm weekly starting September 8 .

reason, with acknowledgment of what the issue was that led to it requiring reconsideration.
