Approval of the Minutes – approved
Guest Speakers –
a.
Marty Strand, Bill Rotchford, Randy Hedge, and Kelly Kramp – proposed
changes to dining concepts: Wholly Habaneros gluten free diet, Star Ginger Asian
food, wings & strings, titan taco change the logo may be something that could be
updated, Free samples from both vendors on Tuesday 4:30- 6 and Wednesday
April 22 11:30 – 1. STAND just to clarify one of the three will go where Titan
Taco is? Answer, yes one option. Popular place good price one or the other
keeping more flexibility. Lutheran Student Org, suggest getting removing Pizza
Hut from Reeve and place a new option in there. If someone wants Pizza Hut can
go to Scotts to get it. Answer: Dinning does not have a solid plan, hear to listen
and get student opinions. WAC, like Star Ginger not vegan but friends are and
there is little on campus for those that are vegans. PSSA – looks like a simple set
up, could add more to B&G as they have lots of space? Answer: B&G has own
challenges relocating Mexican may be a better idea. If we choose will be a preset basically dictate what will roll through there not going to make it to waste it.
Wildlife Conservation Club: more vegetarian choices, MUN better food and
higher costs are students able to use meal plans on it? Answer: can use meal plans
and Titan Dollars for the difference. Best bang for buck for Titan Dollars is in
Blawkhawk. Commuter students willing to pay higher amount for higher quality
food, eat off campus now. Having additional vegan option is a good idea.
Reginald Parson – UW System Budget cut proposal and Public Authority
Joint Finance Committee have done open forums heard how cuts will impact
them, sometime in May UW system and K12 debate on and make amendments
goes to govern now until June new joint commission Gordon Hintz and Michael
Schwab represent Oshkosh area. Public authority plan on life support not good
for those that want it, closest opportunity Jordan and Reggie talked to legislators
not an alternative plan with the public authority status some feel too much
authority. Governor walker tuition cap to CPI (consumer tax index) well exceeds
what the CPI can offer may inflate, nine campus have done it Madison raised
tuition on the out of state students have been approved by BOR, cuts to athletics
80 to 100 FTE in numerous ways retirement, proposal certain number 91 people
have expressed interest in it, facilities, eligibility and faculty drop on board will it
affect academics and the things we need, academic associates. No negative effect
in the year two to three years from now next year stay the same on academic side
of things, faculty will have to look into reducing programs offerings we have for
Point of information retirement from Petra, expanded retired by July 1 –
December 31st and that allows for individuals to retire early but meet fall needs
assist with continuity and offerings. Two questions for students: what are your
concerns questions you have on what is going on OSA or Leadership council
cannot effectively represent you until we know concerns: Raise of tuition for
grad students looking outside of the state to pay less. MUN: Concerns of cutting
programs in the future more than two years towards a program what is my major
gets cut. Some academic programs not any huge noticeable changes reduction in
selection not as many classes not always a full section available for students to
take. Graduate Student Association: Initially a smooth transition what you do find
out share it. Rubber will hit the road in June and be as transparent as possible, the
UW Oshkosh forward website, minutes, info from system to all things budgets,
OSA will make sure you get info from TitanLink and other emails. With the
reduction of courses being offered will it affect the amount of time it takes to
graduate? Answer: Chancellor wants to see four years, might be a struggle Dean
Koker option to keep course selection waiting list and open up sections, and less
sections at times choice may be limited but the courses still there.
