V. Announcements from the Chaira. Scholarships were due Monday, November 30th
i. Chair Devkota read out loud the number of applications that were submitted for each of
the fall scholarships that were due on Monday.
ii. Chair Devkota: There was some talks to extending the deadline for these scholarships but
due to time constraints we weren’t about to do so.
iii. OSFA Representative Baptiste: What if we extended the deadlines for those scholarships
that didn’t receive as much applications?
iv. Chair Devkota: I do no think it would be fair because some students turned their stuff on
time.
v. ILA Njeru: I do no think it would be a problem because each scholarship is catered to a
different demographic.
vi. ORC Chair Bedgood: I also do not think it is very fair.
vii. Chair Devkota: How about we take a vote on whether or not we want to extend the
deadline?
viii. Chair Devkota: All those in favor of extending the deadline for SGA Rosen, Second
