II. EAC

Alex Lee presents candidate for unit director

i. Mishra: What is your definition of entertainer? What do

you define as a successful event?

ii. Candidate: Someone who comes out to provide

enjoyable performance to a group. As far as a

successful event, it depends on what you are looking at.

Fore example, if we are using money to put on a show,

a show that sells out is successful. Sometimes it’s not

about student turn out. It could be about money.

Dalavai: Motion to confirm.

Candidate Confirmed

III. Unitrans - 7:08

A. Unit Director Reports

Anthony - General Manager of Unitrans

i. Anthony: First, we keep increasing our ridership. This

year we will obtain it based on the rainy days, 4 million

riders in the year. We will exceed this year for the first

time. Once approached over 30,000 in one day. In the

process of acquiring new buses, should be here next

year. We are about to have an order for natural gas

buses. We will replace five older buses with these new

single decker buses. We got a grant from Sacramento,

which will go far to buy two new double decker buses.

This will be the last bus with tailpipe emissions.

Afterwards, they will all be clean, zero emissions. We

also want to show off another capital investment: two

new bus lifts. For the primary election June 7th and full

election in November, we will offer free service on

Unitrans to encourage people to get out and vote. They

will have an easier way to get to the polls. There was

hate speech exhibited from one passenger to another

and a video was created. We took it seriously and met

with the victim. In addition to that incident, the same

perpetrator, verbally assaulted employees and other

passengers. He was eventually arrested. We are

working on a safe space initiative to improve our ability

to handle situations like this through extensive training

and code of conduct for our passengers. That will also

feed into our hiring process. We will be sharing that

with the campus as well as the city as that gets put into

effect so I hope you see improvement there. Our service

changes next year coming up. Three ASUCD

representatives sit in next week; Alex and Ricardo are a

couple involved. The meeting we are proposing very

minor changes next year. It has to do with orienting

weekend services to the MU so it is more integrative

with Yolo Bus. The reason we aren’t able to add so

much service is the long-term budget picture for

Unitrans and ASUCD primarily driven by the increase

in the minimum wage. I support that, as an individual,

but the implications of that on our budget is enormous.

Two years ago the minimum wage was $8, now it’s

going to be $15. For every $1 in the wage increase, that

is a $3 increase in student fees per quarter. It is like a

$20 increase in student fees to pay for that change in

minimum wage. We would like to go out for a

referendum to bring student fees up to a place to

accommodate that costs. I don’t think its fair for

students to bear that costs. Perhaps student affairs or ne

of the campus departments can do something. The

campus isn’t actually paying for the service; it is

through grants and the fees. I don’t think it’s realistic to

have such a high increase in the fees, so we need to talk

about getting another source of funding. I think with

President Lee and others we want to start making that

case that the campus should be contributing more

toward Unitrans and a more reasonable increase in

student fees.

End of Report - Questions

ii. Mishra: Has the service explored selling bonds to make

up the deficit?

iii. Anthony: We haven’t.

iv. Mishra: Or issued to the city of Davis? Do they have a

holding in the service?

v. Anthony: They pass through the funds they receive

through the federal government. I don’t know if we can

do without changing the structure of the service.

vi. Unitrans Partner: We certainly would be in

coordination with the city of Davis because the city is

the grand tier, operator of the transit service. We are

like the contractor of preference. We need to involve

them, probably a general fare increase. Also, we are

going to be looking in all directions in addition to going

out to get grand funding and the 1.4 million Anthony

spoke up. We are submitting another 5.2 million dollar

grant application.

vii. Anthony: The city put together a contract last year that

increases their contribution every year by a certain

amount.

viii. Jamaludin: In regards to the incident, I’m happy to hear

steps were taken toward helping the victim. Regarding

the safe space initiative, can you elaborate?

ix. Anthony: the idea is that it will result in some policy.

There will be posters of the code of behavior on the

buses and there will be training for our staff on how to

react to such actions. Trying to layout the policies so

the passengers can feel protected.

x. Jamaludin: Do you do tours? I asked my staff which

units they would like a tour of and they said Unitrans.

xi. Lee: Are there any issues currently beside fiscal

matters, we can help Unitrans with?

xii. Anthony: It seems everything is a fiscal matter; big or

little like the Common Good Assessment and obi tax.

xiii. Unitrans Partner: Something that came up during our

meeting was engaging ASUCD as a whole to help us

promote our outreach. When that time comes, anything

that the executive committee can do to help us would be

awesome.

xiv. Garcia: So regarding the incident, what are you all

communicating to the current drivers?

xv. Anthony: They were all invited in the discussion on

what to do differently. We are reinforcing the training

for the safety on the bus with respect to the

environment around them. It is an equal concern. We

reminded everyone to pay attention to that and you

don’t realize when the driver is driving they don’t know

what is going on so we don’t want to distract from their

driving. We wont be hesitant on bringing the police.

xvi. Garcia: What should the bus driver have done? Or did

they do everything they should have?

xvii. Anthony: They didn’t know what was going on so they

did everything they could. The bus driver is

concentrating on the movement of the vehicle and

wasn’t aware this was occurring while the other

passengers did. Once she became aware of it, they got

the person off the bus. It was painful for the victim.

xviii. Garcia: if the person is unable to contact the driver. For

my incident, I didn’t want to call them out to the driver

next to them so if they cant contact the driver; do they

just merely call the police? Maybe they are physically

unable, what is the other course of action?

xix. Anthony: I can’t think of another. Do you have

suggestions?

xx. Garcia: Contacting dispatch. I didn’t feel comfortable

calling the police. But in handicap situations, they can’t

leave. So is there another way they can reach out?

xxi. Anthony’s Partner: Unless it’s an urgent situation that

may require law enforcement, one option is when you

get to end of trip and you’re getting off the bus you can

approach the driver at the point when the person you

didn’t want to pass is away. If it is an urgent situation

that jeopardizes personal safety, then it makes sense to

take whatever action you feel is appropriate.

xxii. Garcia: I understand. My concern is in terms of

inability to text and lack of communication.

xxiii. Unitrans Partner: We can talk to each other offline.

xxiv. Nazzal: How does your advertising work?

xxv. Anthony: We have a student in charge of that who sells

the spaces and that comes back as revenue.

xxvi. Nazzal: Is that a significant portion of budget?

xxvii. Anthony: No.

xxviii. Nazzal: Are there ways to improve that in terms of

revenue?

xxix. Anthony: All space is supposed to fill but busses vary

in size and don’t have the same amount of ad space. If

its not filled it means the signs have fallen down. We

should check into that. All space available is sold each

year.

xxx. Heifitz: Unitrans is transitioning into full battery, what

is the estimated cost?

xxxi. Anthony: A bus now is about $600,000 and battery

powered is $800,000. Our dream is to have a battery

powered double decker which is only in London and

that would be over 1 million for sure. As price comes

down and transit systems get more money, we will step

in in the next few years and buy them.

xxxii. Wolansky: Out of all initiative, Unitrans will be most

useful. People identify Unitrans more that ASUCD.

III. GASC Confirmations – 7:34

i. Garcia: This one hiring period I had one particular

applicant, Alex, who has been really helpful with

GASC. He’s come to a lot of our events. They are

excited to help out and so forth.

Questions

i. Savage: What ideas or plans do you have moving

forward?

ii. Lopez-Ambriz: At this point I really want to get

involved with the projects already going in particular

Dry Spaces. I’ve been involved a great deal and it

perpetuates a sense of community.

iii. Flores: Why do you think it’s important to have GASC

in ASUCD?

iv. Lopez-Ambriz: Outside of Davis, going through high

school there weren’t resources for LGBT+ and now

coming into this community where everything is

educational and fun. Its important to have to connect

people and experiences and educating those who are

LGBT and aren’t.

v. Singh: Out of all events hosted by GASC, which is your

favorite?

vi. Lopez-Ambriz: I’ve only been to a handful, I cant say

which is most important. Genitilia Fair is really

important and expands sense of community and gives

niches to other people. You go in with the expectation

of getting educated with these topics.

Confirmed – 7:37

IV. OASR Presentations – 7:38

A. Questions

i. Dahliwal: Money is such a big hurdle, when it comes to

lobbying its really hard to get students. How do we

develop a sustainable lobby core and guarantee students

be involved?

ii. Daniel: The new structure we came up with is

imperative to running smoothly. We have people in

charge of different campaigns to allocate people

specifically who are passionate about things. If we can

get a bigger budget, that will make it so much easier.

iii. Ryan: So our campaign managers make sure we can get

those bodies packed in. This way we can trade around

ideas and figure out carpools and make sure everybody

is pumped up enough to get into the capitol and make

sure they hear us. If we get 4 students

iv. Savage: It’s easier to mobilize with a larger group of

people. If we can get someone that can fit people in

their car, it’s easier to bring students.

v. Grewal: Were there more people trying to go? You just

couldn’t fund them?

vi. Daniel: There were over 20 applicants but we can only

take 9.

vii. Savage: Its definitely difficult and embarrassing

because we are the closest UC. They do call us out on

it.

viii. Grewal: What have you done to advertise to get more

people?

ix. Ryan: We table every Tuesday and Thursday we are

making sure to pump information out through

everybody and through the senators.

x. Savage: These presentations are being given to a

multitude of groups. I’ve seen other groups specific to

what we are working on, about 2 clubs per week.

xi. Daniel: Bringing in people to speak next week will

attract more people. We are doing a big event called the

Good Scoop - get the scoop with Gabe. You should

lookout for it on Facebook

xii. Dalavai: So, this is the best unit in the association.

There were two former employees of OASR including

Georgia sitting on this board. It’s a great place for

student advocacy. When is the next lobby visit?

xiii. Ryan: I’ve sent the next round of follow-ups. The week

of May 8th, that Monday. We are trying to place

ourselves mid month of May they do the revise of the

budget.

xiv. Daniel: We have a Facebook page you are welcome to

join where we have an excel sheet of all of our lobby

dates and events and tabling efforts. If you or any other

senators are interested, Ill be happy to speak with you.

xv. Savage: If people want to lobby on thing snot in the

campaign can they do that? That’s good to note.

Although those are our emphasis, homelessness and

hunger are also things we focus. There is legislation

that affects students that doesn’t fall into those

categories.

xvi. Litzelman: Every year it gets better. If yall don’t give

them hella money and hella time, this will not get

better. When budget comes around and you think about

the break down, it will not work for this. You need big

reinvestments in this unit. Read the first clause of

ASUCD constitution and you’ll understand why they

need tens of thousands of dollars. Their bill should be

passed too.

xvii. Molodanof: this is an important issue and ASUCD has

constraints on budget, have you looked at talking to

admin and people outside of ASUCD?

xviii. Ryan: I cannot speak to whatever is happening in admin

right now. Our current unit director has talked about

getting a little more funding.

xix. Savage: We are on a fee waiver, the money we received

from senate helped. We got $5k from ASUCD but we

definitely need more. Its important it comes from the

association, the students, because admin money can

come with contingencies. Bill just passed in supporting

firing katehi and if she’s giving us money, it puts us in

a difficult position. Admin views don’t align with

students views all the time. Even the second minimum

amount of allocation, is Merced and that’s double our

budget and they have less students.

xx. Heifitz: You mentioned we should be giving thousands

but over the past year we’ve already have tens of

thousands cut from budget. Unlike other UCs we run

over 25 units that need funding. Have you thought of

fundraisers?

xxi. Daniel: This school is giving $13,000 to help pay for

base costs so we are already asking admin for a ton of

money so to ask for more is outrageous. More money

that comes from them means less flexibility. We can’t

advocate for students if we are giving money for admin

who can put barriers on us. We have thought of

fundraising but if we are selling donuts rather than

advocating that wont be worth our time we can be

spending lobbying. We don’t have resource means to be

funding thousands.

xxii. Nazzal: I was going to ask about Facebook.

V. Administrative Advisory Committees – 8:07

A. Status of Women

i. Sandhu: Why this committee versus others?

ii. Foust: I decided to apply for this as I explained in my

interview was because I am a victim of sexual assault.

These are important issues to me. It’s important for all

campuses.

iii. Sandhu: What is the number 1 issue-affecting women at

UC Davis?

iv. Foust: different women have different issues. Some

need healthcare, class help, or sexual assault. It’s

individualistic.

v. Jamaludin: If you can achieve one goal what would it

be?

vi. Foust: One change to feel like you’ve done something

and made a difference, that’s my goal.

Confirmed

B. Arts & Lectures

i. Molodanof: Why did you choose this committee?

ii. Yip: I’ve been here for one year so I wanted to

continue. Its fun.

iii. Wang: I have been here for a year and I learned a lot

about the arts and how the Mondovi works. I was

interested in high school through high school and it’s

been very helpful. I want to grow more.

iv. Dalavai: how do you feel about student accessibility

events at Mondavi center and if it’s lacking how can

you improve?

v. Wang: There should be more outreaching. I see music

students getting involved and going to plays. But we

could promote at club organizations or CalAggie.

That’s my goal.

vi. Yip: Student accessibility is high. Everyone gets a free

ticket but not everybody uses it. People are turned down

by prices so one of my ideas is to create a lottery to

give a free ticket and reach out to people.

vii. Dalavai: Annual or for first years?

viii. Yip: It carries over now.

ix. Sandhu: What are your qualifications?

x. Wang: Arts has been an important part of my life. I

played piano in elementary school and I continued

throughout high school. I’ve also been involved in arts

management. After serving a year here, I want to

continue to expand being a part of the arts.

xi. Yip: I started arts ten years ago. I played piano and

orchestra. I was interested because I wanted to go to the

orchestras; it’s been a year of involvement here. I want

to continue seeing improvement and I am open to a lot

of the new events coming up.

xii. Sandhu: One thing you hope to accomplish?

xiii. Yip: to see more students and maybe put on a study

social at Mondavi Center for midterms and not just

finals

xiv. Wang: I want to see more students involved. In general,

more diverse selections of programs at the Mondavi.

Confirmed

C. Media Board – 8:15

i. Sandhu: What do you see the role of media board as

and how do you see it interacting with the senate table?

ii. Ward-Seitz: The role is to produce the Aggie

newspaper, TV, and work with the radio station here. It

relates to senate through budgeting. There are funds

that go to produce these things.

iii. Yu: Currently, I feel like media board is

underdeveloped. I’ve been here for a year and I plan to

make student representatives more involved in relation

to other units. Its role is budgeting but usually there is

an issue. Hopefully there is an understanding so when

such a time comes we are able to deliberate.

iv. Sandhu: what do you know about KDVS and the aggie?

v. Ward-Seitz: I know a lot about production. It’ll be

interesting to know those here.

vi. Yu: Aggie passed an initiative to return back to print

and KDVS recruits student volunteers and DJs.

Confirmed

D. Child and Family Care

i. Sandhu: Why did you choose this committee?

ii. Naseath: I am a student parent and staff so I dealt a lot

with my own personal issues of childcare. I am a part of

another organization that deals with nontraditional issue

involving childcare.

iii. Staudenraus: I picked this because I’ve worked with

kids every summer for 9 years. I was a student teacher

this year so I have a lot of experience in childcare.

iv. Sandhu: What are your goals in this committee?

v. Staudenraus: I want to conduct hard research to include

faculty staff and students on how they feel on the

family and parent climate. Another goal is to increase

the amount of nontraditional students. They are

underrepresented and part of that is because of

childcare and students who are parents have unique

needs that student government can’t always

accommodate. Age is a part of diversity as well as

traditional and nontraditional students.

vi. Naseath: I would echo a lot of that. My thoughts are

also that the process for getting funding for childcare is

a little complicated. With so much on our plates, we

should find a process to streamline this. Another goal is

to not have parents worry about financial stability of

their kids.

vii. Sandhu: What knowledge do you have about parent

child programs on campus?

viii. Staudenraus: I’m not a parent so those resources were

not given to me. I know one of the things they find

helpful is the online tool for example there was a

clothing and toy swap. Those are things we can all put

together through small social media effort so we can do

those often.

ix. Naseath: I live in family housing and there is a

community over there. There is a stipend program life

and wellness that provide a stipend per quarter per

child. In my case it doesn’t cover after school programs

so there is an age group gap. Younger children have

programs near Russell Park so there are resources but

Id like to see them streamlined it.

Dalavai Motion to Confirmed

Confirmed

E. Course Materials and Services Fee

i. Sandhu: What qualifies you?

ii. Mansuri: Last year I served under undergraduate

advisory and I got familiar with the financial struggles

of students. I thought the amount of tuition free students

was pretty low at 50%. It started a passion and I want to

be here because there are a lot of hidden costs, course

materials being one of them which creates negative

effect on schoolwork

iii. Sandhu: How would you incorporate students desire

into your position on this committee?

iv. Mansuri: I network and talk to a lot of students about

financial struggles. Just keeping that dialogue open with

my peers and bringing it to the people I’m working with

and being their voice so there aren’t unnecessary

additional costs.

BREAK – 8:35

RETURN – 8:48

VI. Committee Reports for Traffic – 8:50

i. Nolan: Cancelled our meeting because of sickness and

developing allergies. We have a successful logo you

can check out on Facebook. We are working on the

videos, we have a casting call out and we will be

getting with AggieTV to get those out. We are right on

track. We should be getting them in by the end of the

quarter. We will be doing outreach every Wednesday

probably have office hours from 1-3 and do the survey

thing we talked about before. The applications we’ve

had, we had someone resign last week so I’m not 100%

sure There’s anything more we have to do about that.

We have had 7-8 applications and we will start

interviewing next week. We are excited about the way

things are going.

ii. Jamaludin: Just know we had family care confirmations

so it’d be great if you could connect with them

iii. Flores: When is your committee up for renewal?

iv. Nolan: Fall

v. DeAngelo: Is traffic looking for funding for 2016-2017

from ASUCD? Because it’s a consideration you have to

make now

vi. Nolan: I don’t think we will actively seek funding.

vii. Park: Who are the individuals in charge of the videos?

viii. Nolan: Tresh has the list but if you’re interested, I can

send it to you.

VII. Consideration of Old Legislation

A. KDVS Bill – 8:54

i. Olivia: The old LRP had expired and this is the

rewritten one. This is the perfect example of what is

feasible for KDVS. This is what we have the ability to

meet and what we can project to do in the next couple

of years and how we will compose our staff. It might

change with budget but this is a rough estimate of what

our staff will be composed with.

Questions

ii. Park: On line 358, there are supposed to be three lines.

On the end it should say voting, etc.

Public Discussion

iii. DeAngelo: Have you considered collaborating with

other units and advertising them with subsidized rate?

iv. Olivia: we do offer PSAs to all senators if they have

something going on, or all units. The ones that reach

out to me, I give it to them. They usually get it by the

end of the week.

v. Chiang: Given there’s a lot of stipend positions in core

staff have you thought about cutting in the future?

vi. Olivia: It depends on the year and if we have to do the

12% increase. The list of positions can change

depending on the year.

vii. DeAngelo: there was a bill last year that excluded

KDVS from the 12%.

viii. Olivia: my predecessor brought it up and it was not

passed. I would love that but it’s not fair to my staff.

ix. Grewal: On line 21, should there be a comma after

thus?

x. Olivia: It should have been a comma

Senate Discussion – 8:59

i. Park: I want to hear more from David regarding if this

is financially stable.

ii. Heifitz: I’m not too sure however one thing that popped

was the future plans in line 296. They want money for

the station so I mentioned that and Id like to hear more

about how.

iii. Olivia: We took part of our reserves to move the tower,

it is factored in our budget and that is part of our

expenses and income. As laid out in this bill and as

mandated by it, we factor it every year

iv. Park: Given the 12.5% increase, do we have enough

budget for that?

v. Singh: Line 260 says 5,000 is spent for telephone uses,

isn’t 5,000 a lot?

vi. Olivia: We have multiple phone lines and I found ways

to save money. Radio stations we need a lot of hone

lines because we have people calling in 24/7 as well as

business calling us in. I have cut us back to 4 to 2700,

which happened after I wrote this.

Amendment Needed – Line 260

vii. Olivia: if needles break, small stuff, major equipment

would come out of reserves because it would be

pushing over tens of thousands. But small stuff is

covered by the 3500.

viii. Singh: 10,000 is for services?

ix. Olivia: yes that will be increasing because stipends will

have to increase for the business account and chief

engineer and studio tech who need to be licensed. They

come out of services rendered, not the same salary as

mine so it’s a large number

x. Dahliwal: in terms of budget, senators should make

sure to read through purposes and history because all

the stuff that goes through radio costs thousands of

dollars. It is how radio stations operate and Davis has

the largest UC radio station. It is one of the most

sustainable parts of our campus. How can ASUCD help

with fundraising?

xi. Olivia: We raised $1000 in a week. Fundraisers can

support us and make us break even but to make more

we are looking at other routes

xii. Nazzal: I used to be a KDVS DJ so I recommend you

guys take a look at what goes on. A lot of equipment is

in need of upgrades

xiii. DeAngelo: I had a conversation with you fall quarter

about the ISP negotiations because the services are no

longer free. What cAme of that?

xiv. Olivia: We are using all that is available to us. Getting a

different contract would have us off the air so we will

continue to use.

xv. DeAngelo: Did you look at how we achieved a free

contract? What are we currently paying?

xvi. Olivia: about $500 a month but I am looking to get it

decreased. I am still working on it with Janice.

xvii. Grewal: line 305 it says receives income from

sponsorship so do you have people you are going to

contact?

xviii. Olivia: we have a $3500 sponsorship from Mondavi

center. We also got food donations and I have a

meeting with my director later. Underwriting was not

working so I stopped to coordinate and its working

better. We brought $4000.

Bill passed – 9:08

B. Bill 71 – 9:08

Authors comments

i. Flores: This bill would require all office hours held by

officials be held in a public venue. The purpose of

office hours is to reach out with students to maintain

concerns of constituents. Only 2 are required to be held

in a public venue so I don’t see how it would help

anybody to hold office hours not in a public venue such

as where we are right now. It can be intimidating for

students to come out here.

Public Discussion

ii. DeAngelo: How do you enforce that?

iii. Flores: Well like ASUCD forces anything senators do,

which is none. I mean there is no way to make people

do it.

iv. Savage: No one has the capacity to attend all office

hours. It’s more just a trust. The idea is to increase

transparency so I hope all senators agree.

v. DeAngelo: I just don’t see the purpose to write a bill. If

we hold each other accountable I guess that’s all that

matters

vi. Nazzal: If it helps, in the EAC handbook it says we are

supposed to check in for office hours so we can enforce

that.

vii. Flores: yes if they can ensure that but it speaks a larger

issue of accountability

viii. Molodanof: I think that everyone like 99% of senate

table and other commissions already have office hours

in public spaces so its all based on trust.

Senate Discussion – 9:12

ix. Chiang: I like this bill because it sets a precedent going

forward. We are committed to transparency but going

forward I think this is something nice to have to have

future senators accountable for this as well.

x. Garcia: what’s considered a public venue?

xi. Flores: a populated area on student campus that is not

the senator’s office such as the quad.

xii. Dahliwal: You should clarify closed doors because

upstairs still isn’t a public venue so define public venue

in your bill.

xiii. Flores: public venue is defined in 1401A in Davis

bylaws so it would be made in that section

xiv. Garcia: The FCC are one of the only places with

gender-neutral bathrooms so it is limited and makes

office hours harder

xv. Grewal: I see Facebook posts on office hours so I feel

like having all 4 hours is important but if people don’t

come for 2 hours, I feel like it becomes an issue. There

is no mechanism to enforce this.

xvi. Savage: There are a lot of people in the upstairs FCC

and when you go into places with closed doors I think

the goal was to ensure we are trying to go to places with

more high traffic and I think people agree with this.

Bill passed

C. ASUCD Senate Bill 73

Authors Comments

i. Jamaludin: I am asking we allocate senate reserves for

the platform I run on to provide a paid program in the

Coho. Basically anybody can come up to Ciaos and

they can buy a slice of pizza forward. When you choose

the pizza, the cashier will write on a voucher and those

in the pantry can redeem a slice of pizza from Ciaos

with that voucher

ii. Herfeitz: Its just a one time payment and kind of a way

to gage into this opportunity and will do in the future.

We really liked the fact that she’s not repurchasing a

poster and reaching out to other directors. It is

sustainable and a one-time payment thing so we thought

it would be okay

Questions

i. Park: Strike out line 33 and 36.

ii. Jamaludin: Quantity is spelled wrong. There is a space

in line 17.

Public Discussion

i. DeAngelo: Speaking of accountability for the bylaws

do we need quotes to pass this spending bill?

Senate Discussion

ii. Molodanof: Just to note, did we look into ad posters

from campus coffee?

iii. Jamaludin: Lines 20-23 state Campus Coffee can only

print the vouchers

Bill passed

D. Constitutional Amendment 48 – 9:21

Authors Comments

i. Molodanof: I authored this bill because Lee had talked

to judicial branch and they suggested a change in the

constitution, which states that the interviewing

committee consist of elections chairperson and change

to chief justice because the elections person doesn’t

know as much when choosing people. The chief justice

has the best knowledge of who will be most fit for the

position. I hope for this to be on the May ballot.

ii. Flores: as someone who sits on the interviewing

committee, the elections committee chair didn’t have

much of an input so it wouldn’t be necessary to have

them. Having someone from the court would be more

beneficial. We pass unanimously.

Questions to Text

i. Sandhu: Line numbers throughout and spaces between

authored by. Also adding a sustain option. Probably add

ASUCD Chief Justice to keep consistent.

ii. Molodanof: There’s a few spacing issues on the second

page. I had line numbers but they didn’t print. Lines 3-7

won’t have lines. Adding abstain has been suggested.

Also capitalize the C in chairperson in second line.

iii. Lee: So when we confirmed two justices, one resigned

so now if we want to do this it would be really nice and

necessary. You all as senate need to suspend bylaws to

get this going.

iv. Flores: It’s a month – four weeks for suspension

Public Discussion

v. Mishra: We saw senate bill 16 on Monday, it was

exciting. The bill is influential and important resolution

that represents collective voice of everyone who sits at

this table as well as the students. We had a hard time

deciding and I wanted to make sure we took an

academic view. We aren’t here to make judgments. It

didn’t have specific language associated with this

commission so we wanted to defer this because we

didn’t have the expertise to handle this. I humbly ask it

continues to go to another experienced and more

relevant commission or body.

vi. Dalavai: I don’t now what the process would be right

now I’m sure there are options but given the letter that

has been made public to Katehi, I think its in our best

interest to discuss this now. Nick is okay with it not

going to IAC so if I could introduce this urgently.

vii. Sandhu: Just unrefer and go back to it because then you

take away EAC’s recommendation.

Motion to unrefer from EAC

E. Senate Resolution 16 – 9:30

Authors Comments:

i. Litzelman: what is chancellor katehi getting paid to do

right now? Not to envision the university, right now she

is taking your money. Her actions have demonstrated

she is willing to bring down the honor of this

university. She would rather our campus endure 3

months headlining news. She would rather defend her

title than give it to a new chancellor to resurrect face of

this university. Even your Unitrans manager has

mentioned how the scandal has taken away from

Unitrans procedure. She would rather watch the system

spiral into chaos even after so many officials called for

her resignation. We would rather have a chancellor who

would not think to lend her name into one of the

shadiest organizations or take the opportunity to pocket

$420,000 profiting from the exploitation of students and

spend $175,000 covering up an incident victimizing

students. She is spending your money to make this

happen. This bill states this is not unacceptable and call

for the immediate resignation. In a few weeks the

governor will release the budget for UC. This includes

the increase in students. The state of CA has criticized

the UC system countlessly. The UC lowered admission

standards of out of state students to milk their monetary

contribution. When we set a precedent of

unaccountability, we threaten the future of our

university. This resolution is about recognizing what

this chancellor has come to represent. This resignation

is the first small step to showing we will not accept this.

Does the UC deserve better? The answer should be

your vote on this resolution.

Mishra: We did discuss the instability of the chancellor. We

did very much like the neutral objective rhetoric of this bill and

we ultimately passed it because it sets voice to student affairs.

Questions in text

ii. Park: So add the EAC being referred and record of that.

Top left should add date as a record. Create name to

#16.

iii. Litzelman: the gray is what has been added since EAC.

iv. DeAngelo: Italicize the names

Senate Discussion

i. Park: I just want to say this is a well-written resolution.

It has a lot of facts. I want to say why this is important

to pass and it is that UCSA had to abstain because we

didn’t pass a resolution so if we are to provide more of

a voice to our delegation, we have to pass this

resolution.

ii. Molodanof: I read this and it has positive qualities the

only thing is with UCOP and getting more information

released. I definitely think that this bill has a lot of great

things going and more things came out about the

chancellor that can make this bill stronger and can be

added. Nothing going against the bill I just think if

UCOP comes up with further investigation, it can be

helpful. For example, there’s been a lot of new things

coming out so what if there’s something bigger than

comes out that can potentially strengthen this. There

may be even more we don’t know about and it can

make this bill stronger.

iii. Litzelman: If we see this as one component of

organizing, when things come out it will strengthen

later organizing techniques. That is the institution that

remains after Katehi and which we will continue

organizing. As time goes on, there will be plenty more

things that future will strengthen

ii. Chiang: I sent everyone the bill its really simple during

sweets with senator one speaker blew out if we don’t

purchase new speaker so WEF would incur external

fees. This is a good investment because it will be used

continuously. They are asking for 2 because the other is

pretty dilapidated. It’s a good investment for future

iii. Lee: They need it in time to provide for WEF it is

coming out of their equipment reserve and they have

about $6000 in there so it should be fine

i. Park: is there a senate bill number?

ix. Heifitz: Is there a direct quote?

x. Chiang: Yes
