Fire Drill Presentation provided by Darren Branum
Cashiers study was reviewed - will be opened at 8:00am now rather
than 9:00am
Long term budget planning: academic units will be working more
closely with admin units to focus on four main topics: Academic
programming, student services, co-curricular initiatives, and admin
operations
Looking to partake in a more sustainable budget model.
One issue that is being looked at is the gap in part time faculty
Institutional Planning Council - No students or faculty are
represented which is concerning. Wolf stated that this is an
“advisory” and not a “governing” board
FY 16 Budget is currently being looked at. $2.6 Million dollars is
available, beyond base budget
There might be a modest increase in tuition for students over the
coming biennium: the reasons why is that wolf said it is better to raise
tuition by $200 to keep a student on their graduation track to gain
incremental revenue, rather than not having the classes available to
students which would cause them to pay another year of tuition.
Diversity Center and other programmatic costs will now be pursued
through private fundraising
Bellevue College Regents charged BC President to explore transfer
partnership with WSU. Could this affect our numbers in terms of
transfer student populations?

ASUW Diversity Commissions and UWT Diversity Resource Center
ASUWT:
Diversity Summit: Winter/Spring – Campus wide, free lunch, day-long diversity
dialogue
Embrace: Quarterly – Staff, Faculty, Students – Closed-door conversations
between smaller groups – Has led to closer relationships between students and
faculty/staff
Mentorship Program
2 Rooms:
1 for office space, 1 for student space next door
Access to computers, clubs are welcomed, quiet hangout space, textbook
resources, free printing
Plan -> Task Force -> Budget Approval -> Board Approval
Establish a General Diversity Center – then it can be divided into spaces per
group
“Night Market” at UW Bothell
Not connected with ASUW, 3 RSO groups run it
Funded by many groups, not SAF
Nurses and Medical Services on Campus
ASUWT: Health and Wellness Center – Partnership with Franciscan
Create relationship with surrounding healthcare facilities to establish
something on campus
ASUW: Funding: Half SAF and Half self-sustaining
Students get one free doctors visit, unlimited triage visits
58 Peer health educators
Childcare Facility on Campus
Currently, UWB students can be reimbursed up to $1000 per quarter
ASUWT:
Also has reimbursement policy
Working with United Way and Children’s Museum to create a childcare option
for students, staff, and faculty – should be open next January
ASUW:
Not a priority on campus (Provost)
Space has been an issue
Currently looking at transitioning some spaces into childcare spaces, but this
still would not meet demand
Student Parent Resource Center – no state contributions
Student Mentorship Program
ASUW: Program focuses on how to be a leader, 2-3 students per mentor,
mentors 5-6 hrs/wk
Husky Leadership Certificate: Student Life & Student Activities – students get
paired with a mentor for two quarters
Husky Leadership Initiative – Partnership with Starbucks
ASUWT: First-Year Student All-nighters – Games, dancing, etc.
Student leaders attend
Student Government Elections
ASUW: 5-6000/40,000 voters last year
Elections committee events throughout the year
Elections are a 3-week process, very time intensive, may be intimidating to
students
Elections kickoff fair – starts first day of voting – to get students excited about
elections – need sponsorship for giveaways to draw in students
Incentives during election days – food and swag
Candidates can rent tablets/laptops or bring their own
Residence Halls at night
Information sessions throughout the year
ASUWT: Record voter turnout when ASUWT membership became opt out
Have voter booths but haven’t used them in any recent years
Tablets for online voting
Reminder emails
Other initiatives on the ballot, e.g. Tobacco-free campus
Senate:
ASUW:
Anyone who wants to join the Senate can
Usually have about 100 active Senators
Senate leadership is selected via senate vote
ASUWT:
Senate based on departments
ASUWB:
Senate based on year
Student Safety
ASUWB: Students don’t feel like it’s worth Security’s time to walk them to their
vehicles
Students don’t have trust with officers
“Community Service Officers”: Students who would assist with campus security
ASUWT: If students feel unsafe on campus, it should be the administration’s
responsibility, not the responsibility of student government to start a new
program
ASUW: Husky Night Walk
Safe Campus Forums
Student Union Best Practices
ASUW: Husky Union Building (HUB)
Started by ASUW funds/fundraisers
Meeting rooms, event space
Students maintain the spaces
Space for Commuter students
Nearby food options
ASUWT: Y Center, 1 month old
Collaboration with the YMCA
Issues with responsibilities and goals
Currently navigating the issues that maybe should have been vetted out before
the building opened
Student funds were given before everything was clearly agreed upon
ASUWB: Open forum about the new ARC (Activities and Recreation Center)
5-7 years of conversation up until now
MOUs established
Funded by SAF - $147 fee over the next 30 years
Cascadia paying a set minimum based on enrollment
Space Utilization:
ASUWB: process of reserving a space is too difficult and slow – needs to be
revised
ASUW: RSO resource center – RSOs can rent (for free) tables, supplies, etc.
Husky Pride Fund
ASUWT: Fund was open to all 3 campuses, then closed to only Seattle even
though UWT and UWB were paying into the fund. Now open to all 3 campuses
again
Reduces barriers for students to be fully academically engaged
Money is raised from bookstore, Husky Pride shirts, etc.
Decision making body should have representation from all 3 campuses
UWB & UWT: Need to look into how our campuses are contributing to the fund
College Councils and Student Government Involvement
ASUWB:
ABC would be one college council but with 2-3 representatives from each
school serving
Would regularly report to ASUWB to keep the conversation open
70-80% of our budget goes into Academic Affairs
College Councils:
Provost Advisory Committee for Students (PACS)
Started Student College Councils because Deans were submitting a lot of
proposals and PACS didn’t have student input – Communication Pathway
Most established council is in College of Arts & Sciences, but most schools have
one
ASUW Member Registration
Should the option be housed under Insurance/Optional Charges? (Implies
membership incurs a charge)
Student Technology Fee Committee
UWS, T, and B raise fees independently of one another
UWB STF only had proposals for about 10% of available STF budget
ASUWB STF Contacts:
Daniel Schmidt, Senior Senator – dschmidt@uwb.edu
Josh Custer, Senior Senator – jcuster@uwb.edu
