Senate meeting

Call to the Audience
President Smart explains that by passing the ASA resolution, you are supporting
what ASA stands for—fighting for education—and that you are supporting the $2
fee for campaigns supporting higher education, uniting the student voice,
advocating elected officials pertaining to higher education, promoting individual
and group leadership, and supporting the betterment of every student in Arizona.
Senator Lake suggests tabling the resolution as new information came up
Wednesday and rewording parts of the resolution. He would like to make it more
direct to support the organization as a whole, in addition to supporting every issue.
Chairman Lee entertains a motion to add the OA for Women’s Lacrosse as item p
and the resolution 25-2 in support of ASA as item q to the agenda.
Motion: Senator Fox move to put item p on the agenda and title it “OA: Women’s
Lacrosse” and item o on the agenda and title it “Resolution 25-2: Support ASA”
Second: Senator Boruch
Discussion: none
Vote: Unanimous, item p is now on the agenda and titled “OA: Women’s Lacrosse”
and item q is now on the agenda and titled “Resolution 25-2: Support ASA”
Engineering Capstone Project: Two engineering students that asked for funding
report that they designed a bracket for a low-baring panel for a NASA space shuttle.
They were able to attend a conference to present and learn other technical
information. There were many PhD attendants, so it was a great experience to be
around so much knowledge. They were proud to be the only undergrads at the
conference. They prepared a poster and told several people about their method of
using ceramic materials to uphold the panels on the shuttle because the ceramic can
withstand the hot temperatures and the force. Currently, they use tiles and there
are people who have to check every single tile; NASA wants something more
efficient.
Unfinished Business
None
New Action Business
Motion: Senator Lake move to vote on items a and b, Club Recognition: Lambda Pi
Eta and Club Recognition: Strategies for Ecology Education, Diversity, and
Sustainability
Second: Senator Smart
Discussion: Lamba Pi Eta has received national approval to become a chapter; it is
an honors society for communications students. It fosters community and promotes
scholarship, as well as provides opportunities. They would like to plan activities
open to communications students, like speakers and workshops. Senator Chan asks
about dues; they are $100 from the organizations and a $30 lifetime membership
fee. Senator Boruch asks why the GPA requirement is a 3.25; it is because it is an
honors society. The Strategies for Ecology, Education, Diversity, and Sustainability
Club plans to increase education and awareness of ecology by doing projects within
the community; for example, there is one project that focuses on solar irrigation for
farming. There are 15 people in the club—6 of which are consistent members, 4 of
which are elected officers. They want to increase outreach to a diverse range of
students in each college; anyone is welcome. Senator Boruch asks if there is a GPA
requirement; Chairman Lee explains that there is not but that the requirement is
only needed for officers, not members. President Smart also explains that the GPA
requirement must be passed through student life first, so if it was not okay it would
not have made it to the senate.
Vote: Unanimous, items a and b (Club Recognition: Lamba Pi Eta; Club Recognition:
Strategies for Ecology Education, Diversity, and Sustainability) have been approved
Motion: Senator Lopez move to vote on item c, OA: Muslim Students Association,
$500
Second: Senator McDiarmid
Discussion: This bill and OA will pay for Muslims and non-Muslims (500 people) to
share their culture with other Muslims from different parts of the world; this is their
second biggest event. Their objective is to share their culture and food, and to
promote forgiveness. They plan to highlight people from different backgrounds and
to share more understanding of Islam and what it stands for. Senator Woodhouse
asks if they will be charging a few for attendants; no. Senator Lake asks if they have
a budget; no, but they have receipts for Sodexo and rental agreements, but there is
no set amount for fundraising. Senator Lake asks if they have an account; no,
Senator Woodhouse suggests setting up a federal ID number to reimburse money.
Senator Lake asks if this is their only event they will ask money for; yes, the other
event was two months ago and they could not afford to do it. Senator Woodhouse
asks how much they will be contributing to the event; $300. Senator Lake explains
that since they do not have a budget, they will need to suspend the bylaws. Senator
Cross does not think that the bylaws need to be suspended just because they do not
have a budget; Senator Lake agrees that the bylaws could be interpreted two ways,
so the receipts can count as a “budget.”
Vote: Unanimous, item c (OA: Muslim Students Association, $500) has been
approved
Motion: Senator Chan move to vote on item d, SB 25-26: Muslim Students
Association, $1522.17
Second: Senator Lopez
Discussion: Senator Lake is afraid that ASNAU is funding the entire event. Senator
Fox explains that they are contributing over $200 out of pocket. There are some
items that Sodexo cannot provide. It would be very difficult to put this event on
without funding from ASNAU.
Vote: Unanimous, item d (SB 25-26: Muslim Students Association, $1522.17) has
been approved
Motion: Senator Fox move to vote on item e, OA: Pi Sigma Epsilon, $500
Second: Senator Chan
Discussion: Pi Sigma Epsilon is a newer club on campus; three members have been
to nationals in Athens, Georgia where they learned about marketing and were
required to participate in at least one event (sell-a-thon, speakers competition).
They met with other chapters and learned new techniques. Senator Fox asks how
many people this will fund; five people, about $500 per person.
Vote: Unanimous, item e (OA: Pi Sigma Epsilon, $500) has been approved
Motion: Senator McDiarmid move to vote on item f, SB 25-27: Pi Sigma Epsilon,
$1000
Second: Senator Reddig
Discussion: None
Vote: Unanimous, item f (SB 25-27: Pi Sigma Epsilon, $1000) has been approved
Motion: Senator Woodhouse move to vote on item g, OA: Theta Chi, $500
Second: Senator Boruch
Discussion: Last summer, four brothers attended the nation convention in Palm
Springs, California; this was the first time NAU could attend. They learned how to
run the e-board, how to budget and finance, and how to have a great brotherhood.
They discussed having a national philanthropy and voting in a gran chapter.
Senator Lake asks how much total it was; $2,232. Senator Smart asks if this is to
cover the registration fee; yes, $320 per person for four people. Senator Woodhouse
asks what they brought back to NAU; reorganization, better rush skills, bringing a
brotherhood together, making lifelong friendships. Senator Lake asks if the rest
came from out of pocket; yes, but the chapter reimbursed part of it by not having to
pay dues.
Vote: 11 in favor, 1 abstains, item g (OA: Theta Chi, $500) has been approved
Motion: Senator Fox move to vote on item h, SB 25-28: Theta Chi, $780
Second: Senator Lopez
Discussion: None
Vote: 11 in favor, 1 abstains, item h (SB 25-28: Theta Chi, $780) has been approved
Motion: Senator Boruch move to vote on item i, IA: Sierra Jones, $400
Second: Senator Chan
Discussion: Sierra Jones will be representing action research teams (little groups
around campus working for the community) at NAU. They strive for education
reform, hands-on education, interaction with the community, and involvement. She
attended a conference about education reform and met people around the country;
she has been to the White House to talk about civic education. This money will pay
for the representatives from each college involved to come together and build off of
each other’s ideas. She is proud to represent NAU on behalf of this huge movement.
Senator Fox asks how much she is contributing; $75. Senator Woodhouse asks if
anyone has gone before; she explains that this is something that they (she and the
four other schools involved) have organized among themselves.
Vote: Unanimous, item i (IA: Sierra Jones, $400) has been approved
Motion: Senator Woodhouse move to vote on item j, SB 25-29: Sierra Jones, $375
Second: Senator Boruch
Discussion: Senator Fox is concerned that when adding everything up, ASNAU will
be paying for over 90% of the trip. Senator Lopez explains that when she went
looking for other funding, the college of SBS directed her to ASNAU. Senator Fox
asks about person contributions; Senator Woodhouse wonders if she can go back to
the colleges and then come back to us. Chairman Lee asks when the event is;
November 1st through the 4th. Chairman Lee points out that because she is so
crunched with time, if amended, they would have to be sure she could get extra
funding. Senator Woodhouse asks that, if decreased, could she fund the rest of the
money; Ms. Jones says that she could only contribute a small portion. Senator
McDiarmid explains that the money will cover hotel, flight, and transportation and
that she will cover all of her own food; in the past, ASNAU has covered much more
than that. Senator Smart says that four days of food is roughly $120 plus the
original $75, so in perspective she is contributing much more than it seems.
Motion: Senator Cross calls to question
Second: Senator McDiarmid
Vote: 11 in favor, 1 opposed, item j (SB 25-29: Sierra Jones, $375) has been
approved
Motion: Senator Lake move to vote on item k, SB 25-30: Women’s Lacrosse Club,
$1175
Second: Senator Boruch
Discussion: This money will cover the tournaments in Santa Barbara and Las Vegas
next semester; a total of twenty schools will be in attendance and other levels of
education will be watching. This will help the girls gains experience, as it is only its
second year on campus. The team has grown from 13 to 18 girls; there is a lot of
potential to move up in club league teams. The dues are $500 each year for travel
expenses, hotels, and gas. They have been participating in BTO and Chili’s
fundraisers.
Vote: Unanimous, item k (SB 25-30: Women’s Lacrosse Club, $1175) has been
approved
Motion: Senator Boruch move to vote on item l, SB 25-31: ASNAU, Polos, $800
Second: Senator Chan
Discussion: This bill will pay for the polos for ASNAU members to wear; they are
$22.80 each. It will be a dry fit polo with white blocking from Pinnacle Prints. It will
come from the “capital improvements” line. In comparison, the bookstore polos are
$60 a piece. Chairman Lee entertains a motion to keep line items at original lines;
the budget revisions will not take effect until after it is passed.
Vote: Unanimous, item l (SB 25-31: ASNAU, Polos, $800) has been approved
Motion: Senator Boruch move to vote on item m, SB 25-32: ASNAU, Open Budget
Line 102
Second: Senator McDiarmid
Discussion: This bill will pay for the “Kiss My Axe” shirts; there are four designs
total, two that state “Kiss My Axe” and two that do not. Based off of last year’s
feedback, they do not want to offend anyone so there are options this year! They
will be ordering 7,000 shirts and getting a quote soon. Last year, it was $27,000
with two orders; right now, the quote is $35,000 but they think they can get it
cheaper, so the bill is written for an open line. There will be a survey with the
designs next week. They will be passed out this semester at the November 17th
game—the last game of the season (minus possible playoffs).
Vote: Unanimous, item m (SB 25-32: ASNAU, Open Budget Line 102) has been
approved
Motion: Senator Woodhouse move to vote on item n, SB 25-33:ASNAU, Gold Axe
Pins, $2000
Second: Senator Smart
Discussion: ASNAU generally funds the Gold Axe pins for distinguished seniors who
went through the application process. 40 were selected that graduate in December.
They are waiting for an invoice for an exact amount, which is between $1700 and
$1800. Even if it passes, the remaining unused money will go towards awards
anyway.
Motion: Senator Lake move to amend the bill to read “from budget line 80”
Second: Senator Woodhouse
Discussion: None
Vote: Unanimous, the bill now reads “from budget line 80”
Vote: 10 in favor, item n (SB 25-33:ASNAU, Gold Axe Pins, $2000) has been
approved
Motion: Senator Lake move to vote on item o, FY13 Budget Revisions $3,965.25
Second: Senator Woodhouse
Discussion: With the rollover money in, the budget needs revising. One revision is
for the concert; $15,000 went to the vote line, $4,000 went to summer clerical work,
and the remains will be going toward the concert so as to ensure the people’s first
choice artist. They probably will not need all of the money, but they would like to
have it as a back-up; the extra will be transferred back to other lines after
contracting and paying. President Smart stresses that we have never been able to
bring the number one choice, so technically we do not have to put it to the student’s
vote because this was their voice in the first place. The original summer clerical line
covered pay through July 1st, so the extra money will cover the time after July 1st but
before the school year. He also realized that we no longer need a bill written for the
budget, it can just be approved as a senate (like this meeting). President Smart
explains that we originally borrowed $15,000 from three different lines to support
the vote campaign; the rollover will put the money back where it was in the
beginning. Lines 104, 106, and 107 will each be receiving the original $5,000.
Senator Woodhouse inquires whether there will be any rollover money left after
this; the rollover will be at $0.
Vote: Unanimous, item o (FY13 Budget Revisions $3,965.25) has been approved
Motion: Senator Woodhouse move to vote on item p, OA: Women’s Lacrosse
Second: Senator Lopez
Discussion: None
Vote: Unanimous, item p (OA: Women’s Lacrosse) has been approved
Motion: Senator Lake move to vote on item q, Resolution 25-2: Support ASA
Second: Senator Smart
Discussion: Senator Lake suggests tabling the resolution with the new information
from Wednesday night. President Smart stresses the urgency. ABOR is doing their
investigation immediately and will be meeting with student body presidents to talk
about ASA so the opinion of the senate is crucial. Wes extends on that, stating that if
you read your report, there is no factual basis for any conclusions. Senator Smart
agrees that the senate should not be putting it off for any longer. Chairman Lee
reminds the senate that this began a month ago, so it is time to make a decision.
Senator Woodhouse asks when ABOR will begin their investigation; President Smart
says that it began last night and that they will be re-meeting in November with a
more finalized, informed conclusion. Senator Lake says that the email ended on a
good spot to continue the conversation. Senator Boruch asks: what is one thing that
was unbalanced with ASA? Taking evidence from what former ASA directors have
said, there are no citations; there have been many attacks toward us. They claim to
have have had “no true victories” though the tuition bill and gun law were both
majorly influenced by ASA. Their evidence is not factually-based and therefore
invalid. ASU claims to have brought forth eleven changes in the past two years to
structuring the board, which is false. After contacting Jenn Hancock who worked for
internal affairs last year for ASA, it was confirmed that only seven were brought
forth and none have been brought forth this year. Senator Lake questions the ability
for the task force to be unbiased. Senator McDiarmid asks President Smart how the
changes were handled; Chelsea Byers explains that they were unfair proposals
favoring ASU’s voice as the loudest. Some of the changes include having a board
chair from a different university each year through an application process. Every
change was deeply considered; nothing was ever “shot down.” Wes Enns explains
that this was not a decision taken lightly and that they had legal advice to not pass
the changes as ASA would be put in jeopardy. Senator Smart says that ASU does not
agree with the direction of ASA but in her opinion if it does not get passed, it will
give ASU the drive to go to ABOR and that ABOR will shut it down. If the resolution
is not approved and it gets shut down, then we deprived them of the opportunity
and denied giving ASA help, causing them to potentially become nonexistent.
Motion: Senator Lake move to amend the resolution to state on line 24, “the
Associated Students of Northern Arizona University will show support for the
Arizona Students Association and their ability to better the students of Northern
Arizona University”
Second: Senator Boruch
Discussion: Instead of Arizona Students in general, it should say “Arizona University
students/students of higher education.”
Senator Lake rescinds the motion.
Motion: Senator Lake move to amend the resolution to state on line 24, “the
Associated Students of Northern Arizona University will show support for the
Arizona Students Association and their ability to better the higher education
students of Arizona”
Second: Senator Boruch
Discussion: None
Vote: Unanimous, the resolution has now been amended to read ““the Associated
Students of Northern Arizona University will show support for the Arizona Students
Association and their ability to better the higher education students of Arizona”
Discussion: Senator Lake stresses a unified voice for Arizona for the good of the
students. He worries that with the possible abolition of ASA, numerous tuition
heights could result which is not a successful path for students. Senator Cross states
that no one is contesting a unified voice; the main issue at hand is the internal
problems within ASA (note that this is not in reference to NAU’s ASA). She asks how
U of A is dealing with the issue at hand. President Smart explains that, essentially,
they are “fed up” with the issue and not sure of a resolution. We are hoping to show
U of A hope that senate support can make a difference. Wes Enns explains that if
their students had an issue with the professional staff that works between 40 and
60 hours a week, it is for the good of the students and is still directly benefitting the
student population. Danielle Bryant says that this is a student-run organization, but
without the staff the work would be impossible; no student realistically has the time
to facilitate like the staff does. Senator Lake also states that the staff is extremely
educated in what they do and often give great direction. President Smart mentions
that ASU is against their staff because they believe that their policy can do just as an
effective job, which is unrealistic. Students only have so much time between classes
and jobs to lobby. President Smart inquires why people would not vote yes.
Senator McDiarmid explains that ASA is a great organization with great objectives;
however, fighting against other universities defeats the purpose of a “united voice.”
It has become a matter of “who has the better policy?” Secondly, he states that if we
are picking sides, we are not focusing on crafting a unified voice for students. Staff
is a giant concern as they receive approximately 60% of the $2 fee, so they could
potentially not be held as accountable as they are already receiving monetary gains.
ASA has done a great job, but they are outdated. Wes Enns points out that the 60%
of money that goes to staff still directly benefits the students as they are all
dedicating their lives to bettering higher education and that the other 40% goes
directly to funding that helps education. President Smart addresses the issue of
fighting between universities in saying that relationships have broken slightly this
year, yes, but both student body presidents have been in communication. ASU came
in with the notion that they would take down ASA and break relationships, but each
year comes with a new set of people and who can say whether our relationships will
not become renewed? She also explains that the argument that ASA does not put
themselves out there enough and that their student government does not know
their faces is invalid; how many people see your faces in a crowd and know that you
are a senator? Senator Boruch asks why Senator McDiarmid believes the program is
outdated; he explains that it was originally founded to unite one Arizona voice and
that now we have been able to have our voice heard through social media like the
“We Are Pell” campaign as well as spreading the word of Prop 204—and we did this
all without having the capital right next door. How often does ASA really go to the
capital? Senator Chan’s concern is that without ASA, who is going to go out of their
way to help the student body? President Smart explains that ASA is still present on
ASU campus, it is just not recognized or represented by their student government.
The resolution is simply to show respect and support for ASA, and to possibly help
fuel U of A to come up with a similar support system. President Smart asks that if
someone can have an issue with the way that ASA is structured, please feel free to
share your ideas of how to restructure the organization. Senator Reddig supports it,
but suggests amending it to say that we want to unify communication more.
Chairman Lee suggests creating a task force with ASA for specific recommendations.
Senator Lopez supports the resolution because he believes that we need a collective
voice down in the capital. So there are internal problems, but what organization
does not have internal problems? Every organization has similar issues and the
only way they can fix it is by coming together and doing it themselves. He says that
we need to support ASA or it will disappear.
Senator Cross says that ASU is not being held accountable but it will not change. She
asks if it is possible to send out a survey to the student body, so that we can be held
accountable to representing our students’ true opinion? In addition, would it be
possible to have a conference with all three senates in attendance? Chairman Lee
points out that we tried to do that, but it was ineffective and many were unsure how
beneficial it would have been had everyone been there. President Smart states that
the first step to becoming a unified voice is by passing the resolution. Senator
Tenney points out that this issue is very “black and white.” Shayna Stevens explains
that this is urgent because ABOR will begin investigating this as soon as possible.
Senator Woodhouse reiterates that the resolution is simply stating that we support
ASA—not how it should be run or how its internal affairs affects it. Senator Boruch
believes that if it is outdated that it could easily be updated. Senator McDiarmid says
that this could have a positive ripple effect but if it backlashes and we supported it,
then we need to be okay with the consequences. Senator Lake says that the focus
should be on the NAU students and what is best for them. If ASA crumbles, he
believes that NAU will never be heard from again. He believes that we should
support ASA because it is already a unified organization here on NAU campus. VP
Niemann explains that we should stand up for students whether it is what ABOR
wants or not; this is not the first time and it will not be the last. President Smart
points out that ABOR is overlooking the fiduciary responsibilities; if they see
corruption within ASA, they have power to pull the $2 fee in addition to the $23 fee
for NAU and the student fee. Senator Smart states that if you agree with anything on
this resolution, vote yes. Do you agree with the mission statement? If so, then vote
yes. Wes Enns reminds the senate that ASA is not only looking out for NAU, they are
also looking out for ASU. After all, they represent the Arizona students as a whole—
not just the ones who attend nau.
Vote: 10 in favor, 1 abstains, item q (Resolution 25-2: Support ASA) has been
approved
Executive Report
a. President- Sammy Smart
-Please email President Smart if you are attending the NSG social. The
student regent selection is down to its finalists; they will be down to do
meet and greets at each school which was implemented and created for
ASA. She collaborated with ASNAU on the faculty senate meeting about
issues from both sides. There has been controversy with free iPads given
to students with the AIMS scholarship. NAU became the first university
to allow non-gender-specific homecoming royalty king. Prop 204 is neck
and neck in getting passed, so please spread the word! Chelsea reminds
everyone that if you have any questions about how ASA can support Prop
204 though it is non-partisan, please ask. Also, ASU is becoming a smoke
free campus; NAU is looking into it. They want to know how it will effect
enrollment rates and international students. In addition, though NAU
may be the smallest in-state university, find solace in knowing that it still
has a bigger population voice than 38 state’s biggest university. We are
the 64th largest university out of roughly 200.
b. Vice President of Student affairs- Annsley Niemann
-VP Niemann says thanks for a successful homecoming. It was a good
tailgate and everyone had the foam fingers. Make A Difference Day is this
Saturday and ASNAU will be holding a volunteer project. Sign up and/or
volunteer with running it at the observatory field for an hour on Saturday
morning. 140 applications were collected for the new club headquarters.
They will find out Monday if they get an interview. There will be a “grand
opening” next semester. There will also be a survey for the “Kick My Axe”
shirts next week.
c. Vice President of Academic Affairs- Ryan Lee
-VP Lee says that hours are due; thanks for being engaged and polite and
mature. He still needs to meet with the college of SBS. Please interact
with students on campus by bringing in different students every week to
the ASNAU office.
d. Chief of Staff- Makenzie Mastrud
-Chief of Staff Mastrud was excited about the success of the carnival. She
will be sitting on the study abroad/scholarship committee starting
Monday, and sitting on the budget university counsel committee. Chief of
Staff Mastrud will be meeting with The Lumberjack for ASNAU articles;
homecoming royalty made national news for being the first university to
have their royalty not be gender specific. Also, please note that grad
students also pay the 23 fee so they can attend our functions.
Staff Reports
A. ASA- Jack Sawyer, Danielle, Shayna
-ASA thanks the senate for passing the resolution. There was a call with
ABOR last night, whether they questioned different outlets; a final
decision will be coming up with own report. CASL went well; different
groups were welcome and they discussed money and politics, dirty
politics, and networking. The election is one week from Tuesday! The
vote campaign is nearing its end, but they still need help with phone
banking. Last night, they had a call for suggestions of bylaws to help fix
internal matters . ASA at NAU will continue fighting issues that pertain to
ASU students as they represent Arizona as a whole. The two dollar fee
will not cover the directors at ASU; instead, they will get paid through the
policy department. Congratulations to NAU for getting the highest
proportion of students registered in comparison to any other Arizona
University! They went above their goal of 10% of the school.
B. Public Relations- Matt Villa
-They finished the “Kick My Axe” shirts.
C. ITS- Jonathan Tessmar-Bell
-Jon helped with shirts.
D. Special events- Tony Buchta, Sara Martin
-Tony and Sara are working on the concert; contracts are in the works, so
a date and an artist will be released soon. They are also working on
equality week and internal events in the office.
E. NSG- Representatives
-There will be an ASNAU/NSG social on November 3rd. It will be bowling.
There is a group participating in Make A Difference Day and they are
going to plan a campus-wide event for next semester, in addition to
holiday events within NSG.
