Mr. Hoffman- Two meetings so far, both discussing furlough policy. A furlough policy is

and submitted recommendations before the policy reaches board of trustees

$340 fee and taking a two day education class
Mr.Frazier: Suggests looking into the legality of this resolution, having the oxford police
in charge of this program as opposed to the district attorney could pose serious problems
in the future
Mr.Ciccone: The ordinance that was drafted by the district attorneys and prosecutors and
they feel that they have drafted a good enough ordinance to avoid legal conflict
Ms.Bahir: Students have voiced concern that police department is running this, no
transparency of where this money is being used, also socioeconomic issue

p. Treasurer-
Mr. Foster: Sending out audit requests to student orgs starting week of
October 5th, will discuss the budget soon
i. Executive Order #2
Mr.Senko: what does that total amount to?
Mr.McNabb: very little, 1% a year
Mr.Forrest: since this breaks the bylaws don’t we vote on it?
Chair: When we pass the budget this will be passed
j. Executive Order #3
Ms.Bahir: do executive orders expire?
Mr.McNabb: the next cabinet can decide at that time
Mr.Cowles: would you consider going through here and giving the name of oversight a
different name so it is not confused with the actual oversight committee?
Mr.McNabb: definitely, good point.
Mr.Streubing: why wouldn’t you bring in the pro temp, to do the actually oversight
investigation since they do not work with cabinet on daily basis?
Chair: intention is that oversight is specific to the constitution and bylaws, while this is also
about cabinets standards –defer to parliamentarian
Mr.Stevens: if no actual rule is broken, senate cannot do anything, but with this scenario,
cabinet can handle issues on their own
Chair: will always be in contact with the head of oversight to keep informed, but these are
issues oversight cannot actually deal with
Mr.McNabb: goal is to never have to use this policy, work with people one on one to never
get to this point
Ms.Riddle: this order seems very internal, while you’re promoting transparency. It is
important that the pro temp is part of that group so you’re held accountable as senators.
Chair: these are issues the pro temp, oversight, and senate does not have any power over, they
are standards created by cabinet
Mr. Zwayer: your expansion of your rules, inside cabinet, that’s an expansion of constitution
and bylaws, correct?
Mr.McNabb: correct
Mr. Zwayer- I like this idea, I was hoping for a formal structure, I’d like to see this as a
connection between oversight and cabinet, would you be willing to work with me and other
senators to create an official document tying oversight and cabinet?
Mr.McNabb: more than willing to consider that, get together after cabinet
Mr.Jacobson: so to clarify, if anything was brought to pro temp he would not be able to do
anything about these issues?
Mr.McNabb: correct. Executive orders will be reported when they are made by the secretary
to the executive cabinet
Mr. Ferguson: Club sports have their own administrative process, they
have 30% of our student org budget, they do the same as we do with our
student orgs, and allocate to the club sports. Since they are technically
under senate jurisdiction, we have to make final approval.
Mr.Ferguson: good question for next week when their reps are there
Chair: budget committee will be reviewing this bill as well when we meet
later this week
Chair: Student senate will be a swine flu free zone this year, if you’re feeling sick, you can send in an
alternate to vote on your behalf
Ms.Boyer: are all the university committees filled as of now?
Chair: yes they are, as a clarification, we strongly encourage senators to participate in the university
Committees
Mr.Mcnabb: apology for so much internal information tonight, we hope to have a great working
relationship and focus on the student body not the procedures this year.
Chair: I asked all of you to bring your schedules for the week to sign up for office hours, let’s do this sign
up over email
Mr. Ferguson- we are still looking for members of funding committee, if you have any friends looking to
get involved, there are at large seats reserved for anyone in the student body
Mr. Harris- tradition to go to bdubs after senate, looking forward to seeing you there?
