
Absentee Points- Senator Mack
Hope to get rid of some of my points. I missed a senate meeting because I had strep throat. I
manage a kiosk for phone repairs and my manager did not come on time and therefore I
missed a committee meeting.
Sen. Dykes- did you appeal this?
I did for the senate meeting but for the committee meeting, I still have until tomorrow.
Sen. Stevens- why didn’t you turn it in today?
I can get paper after this.
Sen. Reich- how many points do you have and how many do you wish to remove?
Have four; I wish to get rid of 2.
Sen. Stevens- which points?
From the Senate meeting.
Sen. Galanti- do you see a conflict with work in the future?


No I usually don’t work Mondays and he is usually on time.
Motion from Sen. Reich to remove 2 points for the Senate meeting. Second. No objections.
Discussion- Sen. Reich: I don’t want strep throat, I’m glad you didn’t come to Senate.
Roll call vote.
Passes 12-0-0.
Absentee Points- Senator Lundy
I have accumulated 4 absentee points. I missed a senate meeting because of an illness. I
missed a committee meeting and the last meeting because I work at Publix and my previous
manager was transferred so I got a new one who was unaware of my schedule. I received
other points from having to do school work; this is at the fault of my own misjudgment. I
wish to remove 2 points for the other two incidents of work and illness because that was not
my fault.
Sen. Barrs- are you just finishing your term this semester and not returning?
Correct.
Sen. Galanti- how many absentee forms did you fill out?
Two.
Motion from Sen. Stevens to strike one point from January 7 and one point from March 11.
Second. No objections. Discussion- Sen. Stevens: These are good reasons. Thank you for
being respectable of not appealing the points that were of your own error.
Roll call vote.
