I wanted to mention that next semester TCNW will be closing down. Executive Vice President Mark Reeves I am going to pass around a sheet for Dine with Decision Makers. Please put down your hometown along with your name. I had another meeting with the university senate and several issues came up on which I would like your feedback. There is a policy coming up that will change how students change their major. The policy creates a procedure where you can't just get on topnet and switch your major. Major changes would be only once a semester to minimize paperwork, and the major change initiation on topnet would go to advisor and other administration to get in contact with you to make sure you had a new advisor. Also, there are a series of new IT policies IT series dealing with privacy. I will be registering these policies with the chair of university senate. Administrative Vice President Nicki Seay Org Aid updates: Ross Nowland as vice chair, also the notice of exec veto was simply a formality because the amendments were not clear. It does not reflect our opinion, just to make things clear. Speaker of the Senate Paige Settles Remember that we will be having our South Campus meeting soon.
