Motion to pass option grey by James second by Cris
Discussion
David : recommend option grey in light of budget situation
William : this would put us significantly in the red
James: I’m worried about the appearance of the senate funding its own activities fully instead of third
parties
Leflora: recommend option grey right now, if we make more money in February we can fund the rest
Motion Carries
5. Peace Library
Mario
5 Minutes
Action on allocating no more than $1,500 from the Programs account for the peace library in the
Children's Center. The peace library is a powerful resource created completely by volunteers in the
ECE department. Books must connect with one or more Peace Education Strands, and are a
contradiction to the ocean of biased media available to children. Providing this alternative is one
objective way we can provide important tools to our young children for growing up in a diverse and
troubled world. The peace library is used by children in the Child Care Center, Early Childhood
Educators in the classes “Peace Education and Children’s Literature” and “Anti-bias approaches to
working with young children”, and members of the community involved in ECE. ]

Going to Tahoe
No snow
In a good mood
Jason
Disappointed in people’s response to my deciding not to call meeting for Instructional Supports
Felt that it could be misconstrued that it was the committees position
Don’t feel it’s constructive for people to be told that they can be removed
I think that’s very reflective of the negative tone of the meetings that has been discussed
Ryan
Writing paper on student use of myspace
Going to my committee tomorrow
Want to see if we can get something like a co op instead of bad cafeteria food

I wasn’t really into this meeting
Hope everyone has a great weekend
David
Thought there was a lot of passion
There’s no mal intent from my side
I just felt there was a bit of an unwarranted power trip
Felt that the chair thought there were no alternatives to his decision
IS is a great use of funds but we do have a budget problem
If we can accept more proposals in spring - great
But there is no reason to eliminate that as a possibility
Look forward to thanksgiving

Public Comments
3 Minutes (Each)
Jason
Feeling upset and alienated by conduct of certain executive members. Did not appreciate
discussion of
removing me from my position on committee. It was erroneous and inappropriate.
This is the second instance of this kind. To have committee member tell me I can be removed for
exercising my judgment
of best leadership is irresponsible and tactless. I will not tolerate this kind of
treatment from the executive board
as long as I continue to serve on the senate.
3.
Action/ Information
i. Attendance and duty review.
Discussion on people’s attendance record and job performance record. Compare what
the bylaws say about our jobs and what we are actually doing. What is the stance that we
want to take? Do we want to enforce the rules we take upon ourselves, or let stuff slide.
This discussion may lead to probationary or removal hearings next week. Their was
discussion of Melissa's absence and next week we will hold a removal hearing, if she does
not resign before that.
