XII.
Discussion –
a. OSA Graduate Student Seat – yield to Director Scheeler graduate student
association became director here a lot going on, three years old making strives to
get in touch with grad student 1200 to 1400 active grad students on campus, give
them a place and give them a voice, psychology class put together a project for
grad student information provided by Jordan numerous grad students on other
campus around the state. Hagen appreciation grad student only here elections for
next school year, more awkward on how the elections take place more grad
student involvement on senate. President – great idea sister campuses already do
and it helps make them fell as they have a place, very supportive, how many
senate seats do we have do we want to change our current structure do we want to
increase or decrease amount of seats. Hagen – graduate students do apply to
specific schools more representative of graduate students
b. Decision on moving Counseling Center to Seg Fees – process of reducing 102
budgets and our counseling center, alcohol educator res life took in on the last two
years and a small fee ad we provide the classes take it here at reduced rate only
institution that counseling center on 102 have to figure out how we are going to
cut in 102. Seven staff members we have waiting list cut back on the number of
outreach as there is a demand for direct service students need and want, option to
refer out to the community but a cost to students, move some counselors on to seg
fees fits under the health module remain stand-alone center with a director to fully
do that almost 600,000 in salaries and fringe benefits a phase of that concept,
conversations with Chase, Jordan, and graham more difficult time talk at regent
and legislators level no increase in seg fees, more of a plea to keep counseling
center that some of our students really need. Schettle: To be clear any other costs
that any other cost that seg fees have to absorb? Turn over the amount of number
of FTE’s positions. Tracy provides direct service for student success not in the
600,000 next two weeks seg fees Petra will be there if works in schedule. No new
kind of things and conversation of business plan of Rec Flex not full amount in
escrow some sort of guarantee agreement if we don’t meet revenue targets
somewhere down the line replace the dome or carpet revenue plan and business
plan conservation and do think we will meet our target some sort of good faith
and understanding and that seg fees would be willing to assist with that.
