The fourth meeting of the Fourteenth Senate was called to order by Paige Settles at 5:00pm on
September 22, 2015.
The minutes from last meeting were approved by unanimous consent.
President- Jay Todd Richey: I have appointed Chelsea Faught as head of the new Sustainability
Committee. I had a meeting with Sawyer and William Kolb to help plan our “It’s On Us” video, which will
help combat sexual assault on campus. Our MyCampusToo handout has been prepared. We have four
senate seats open, so let your friends know if they would be willing to serve on the senate. I also had a
meeting with the chancellors of our regional campuses. We will be working to organize a “listening
tour” in which a panel could travel to other campuses to hear their concerns.
Executive Vice President- Nolan Miles: We still need students to serve on various university
committees, so please sign up for those if you are able. I have had a planning meeting about hosting
Dining with Decision Makers, and I also attended a Student Life Foundation meeting this morning. Brian
Kuster is the executive director of SLF, and he has sent out a survey for students, so please complete
that for him.
Administrative Vice President- Liz Koehler: I will be talking about the budget next week, as I deliver an
update on that on the first meeting of every month. Please let me know your polo size so we can order
our official polo shirts.
Chief of Staff- James Line: I attended a meeting for the creation of an “umbrella” university-wide
international club, which we are trying to revitalize. I also attended the first meeting of the
MyCampusToo task force.

update our social media, please get one to me as soon as possible. I have also been working on the

“It’s On Us” video.

Winter Term Scholarships and creating an “Initiatives” tab for efforts such as MyCampusToo.
