As you know we have two vacancies on the board, therefore Lydia and I offered the position to the alternates who
were selected in the spring last academic year. One of those alternates is Rob Kelly. He was extremely interested in
the position; however, he has a class conflict with the meeting time meaning he would have to leave the meetings
early most days. Due to this Lydia and I offered him the position of Associate SACer, which he accepted pending the
vote of the board. If the vote is in his favor, he will be placed on concert committee, as it states in the SAC Rules of
Order Chapter 14, Section 2: An Associate SACer shall serve on one or more committee(s) of their choice with the
approval of the SAC Chair and the chair(s) of the chosen committee. (Which both Matt and I, along with the other
chairs have approved this.) If you have any questions regarding this you may ask me now, however, if you feel this
needs to be discussed, per the SAC Rules of Order Chapter 14, Section 1: Discussion of an Associate SACer must be
done in the absence of the student in a closed executive session. At this time I’d like to give Rob a few moments to
express a few thoughts to the board.
Molly Dugan: Assistant Director of Leadership and Orientation
Robert Kelly: First alternate on SAC, would like to be on Concert Committee
Morgan: Offered positions to alternate, Robert has class conflict, offered position of associate SACer.
Sarah Richardson: study abroad in Ireland, want more information, let me know.
Pat Schlenbach:
I hope all of your events during the past two weeks were successful! I am sure the new dorm is really cool and I hear
the new Caf/Hoff/whatever SGA is calling it is really great. Ours is a time of immense change on campus and I am
pleased that our main programming body is changing with it, re-arranginG into new committees and taking the board
in a whole new direction. I noticed from Facebook that Eatt and the rest of cofcer4 deserve some snaps for getting
the Fall concert planned. I can only optimistically assume the other cgmmittees are fulfilling their roles as wel,. I look
&orward to chatting abouT1NACA, SGA drama, and everything else in the future. For now, just know that someone
on the far side of theworld is thinking about you all and the wonderful work you are doing.

Report of the SGA Executives
Report of the President, Ryan Alleman
I want to begin today with a very heartfelt thank you. Thank you to all of you for your extraordinary support and
patience with the Executives over the past week as we have worked through our different transitions. Despite the
difficulty, I am confident that today the Association is on very solid footing, and I have all of you to thank for that.
Moving forward, I just ask that you continue to be patient with Brock as he transitions into his new role.
One of the unexpected benefits of this transition, is that I – along with a few other Senators – had a chance to reflect
on my role in the Association last week. During our interview for Senate vacancies, one of the candidates asked Brock,
Johari, Zach and myself a simple questions: why are you on SGA? As we each went around and thought of a response,
I realized that in the midst of our day to day work, this is a question that we likely don’t think about very often. While
certainly we each have our own reasons for being here today, it’s a questions that frequently falls to the back of our
mind. With the idea in mind, I’m going to pass around some note cards, and I encourage all of you to try to answer
that question for yourself. What you choose to do with that note card is entirely up to you. Certainly I’d love to hear
some of your answers, but feel free to use that note card as you’d like. I’ll just say that I found that to be a very
poignant question last week, and it did a lot to lift my spirits last week as I thought about it.
Lastly, I wanted to make you aware of the new catering options that dining services is rolling out. In an effort to
appeal more to students groups, catering has developed a line for more student centric catering options, and they
have asked for a few of us to help evaluate those options. I’ll pass around a signup sheet, and if you would be
interested in providing feedback to dining services, just sign your name and I’ll follow-up with you.
Report of the Legislative Vice President, Brock McMorran
SAC, how are we lookin?
Well, it has been a hectic week to say least, so I want to update you all on a few things.
1.) I have met several times with Lydia and Ryan to review the platform and discuss which projects I will be
taking over. Having said that, I will now be focusing on the following: Involvement with the Student Director
of Diversity and MOSAIC, a market implementation plan with Discovery Services, the student emergency
fund, BikeXU, and the current SGA Student Recognized Business process. A lot of work, but I am excited for
it!
2.) For those of you that haven’t heard, Senate has three new members! Junior Desmond Dodd who was
appointed to the Community Affairs Committee, Sophomore Ricky Narsinghani who was appointed to the
Student Life Committee, and Junior Needom Mitchell who will fill the vacancy left by the new Senate
Coordinator. These three are very well qualified and bring a lot to the table, so if you see them around
campus or in the office, please welcome them and invite them into anything that may be beneficial to their
growth.
3.) Lastly, the overall transition from Senate Coordinator to Legislative Vice-President has been smooth and a
lot of that is thanks to you guys. You guys have had all of your stuff together and have been extremely
supportive through this entire process. Thank you for putting your trust in me to make this year a successful
one for SGA.
As always if there is anything I can help with or if you just want to sit down and talk, my door is always open and my
phone is always on, so just let me know!
Other than that, keep up the great work and be expecting me to report on actual Executive projects in the near
future!

Report of the SAC Chair, Morgan Zuziak
Senator Meghan Savercool and I would like to get together a group of SGA representatives to participate in
Community Action Day on September 24th. We will meet in front of Gallagher at 9:00a.m. and we will all choose a
service site to go to together!
Congratulations to Late Night Programming for having 750 people attend Late Night Movie this past week! That’s

upcoming events!
Chairs regarding dinner/lunch this weekend – Can you please raise your hand if you can make it to Bellarmine Circle
this Sunday at noon for lunch we will still be going to the Rookwood?
IX.
Report of Advisor, Dustin Lewis
For your Senate Minutes today, I have several updates from this past Senate meeting.

Three new senators were sworn in at the meeting on Monday. Please welcome Desmond Dodd, Ricky
Narsinghani and Needom Mitchell to SGA.

The Senate approved $500 from the Senate Projects Fund to support the BikeXU Program.

Club Relations will be bringing a new process for the approval and activation of new clubs forward to the
Senate next week. This process will be shared with you via Morgan for your next SAC meeting. The Club
Relations Committee spent a good deal of time working on this project over the summer and early into the
fall, so I want to strongly encourage you to review what they’ve created so you can help answer questions
and better understand the process for future club activations.

Senator Zach Aliberti is bringing forth a resolution next week regarding the Anti-Rail Project opposition as it
relates to the City Council of Cincinnati. This is expected to be a hot-button issue for the City and the senate
has been asked to take a stance on behalf of SGA and the student body. I want to also share my sentiments
that I have shared with the Senate and will be sharing again on Monday that the Senate needs to carefully
consider what their role should be and whether or not it is their place to speak on behalf of the student
body in this issue.

Johari Idusuyi was approved as the new Student Life Chair on Senate.

I had dinner with the Senate Chairs last weekend and had a great conversation over dinner. My dinner with
the SAC chairs is scheduled for Sunday the 25th at 5pm.
I want to remind everyone on SAC that it is your responsibility to be updating the SAC events on the SAC OrgSync
Calendar. This calendar feeds into the larger OrgSync system and populates events on everyone’s pages. There are
currently over 1,700 users in OrgSync and all of them can see your events. Please make sure that when you cancel,
change or move an event that you go into the system and update it. Your committee chairs should also be
responsible for making sure that you are doing this on behalf of your committee’s events.
The annual Leadership Summit registration is due next Friday (the 23rd) and several of you are now registered but I
want to remind everyone that you need to go into OrgSync and register as soon as possible if you plan to attend. The
summit will be held on Saturday, October 1st on campus from 10am-4pm.
Constitution Day will be on Friday, September 16th. Please stop by and check out the display to learn more about the
constitution, including some interesting facts about words or phrases often associated with the constitution but not
actually in the document.
In a few minutes, Morgan will be calling for an Open Executive Session to discuss NACA and SAC applying for some
NACA Awards this year. I want to ask that you vote to pass the Open Exec Session so that we can have this brief
discussion. And finally, kudos to Kevin and Katie K. for hanging up a lot of promo today for other committees, aside
from their own…this is what SAC is all about – working together and helping each other out!
Leadership summit free? SGA covers registration for members
Senate Discussing Anti-Rail, why? Student at Xavier petition Senate promote.
Why Anti? Zach Aliberti will send out informational email.
