Clarke
5 Minutes
This item is to discuss and/or adopt new policies regarding the ASCC Secretary .
LaQrecia: Refer to the Constitution and Bylaws Article II, Section 2, numbers 5 and 6.
Kaycee: has an issue with the secretary being secretary and a Senator-at-Large at the same time.
Flor: What is the concern for the secretary?
LaQrecia: the notes of the agendas of the secretary are vague and has an issue with the secretary being a voting
member for the ASCC and bias concerning decisions of the ASCC.
Yeraldin: Also, some Senators think the secretary is being paid for being a Senator and everyone else isn’t
Gerardo: The secretary is being paid for the job, not for being a Senator and as a reminder, you voted for them when
they were running for the position
Kaycee: Surprised that Noemi was voted in, agrees with Sesario that there is a distraction, we can’t represent our
students when we’re focused on other things. What are the secretarial duties and responsibilities in the bylaws?
Christian: There are none, I think we have reached consensus on implementing secretarial duties
Kayleb: Thinks we should implement responsibilities for the following year
Flor: encourages to not rush about things because then they become personal and suggests that the implementation of
rules goes into effect next semester
Jeff: Wants to come to a consensus on what we want the minutes to look like
Sesario: Suggests a template be made soon which the secretary can follow, and then come up with responsibilities for
the secretary in the Bylaws and implement them for the following semester
