Discussed improving carpool board and finding alternative modes of transportation. Some senators expressed
discomfort forming a position without more information. Others questioned whether it is in the interest of the
students to support the transit union. The Senate acknowledged that any side taken would be representative of the
whole student body of cabrillo college. A public forum to inform students about the details of the bus strike was
also proposed.
Bus Strike Resolution
Item withdrawn
