Mr.Cowles- served on oversight for two years, importance of non-senior holding this
position, dealt with impeachment hearing, believes new forms of discipline should exist
Mr.Cowles- its up to the head of the committee, those who are reported
are half-absences if passed
Mr.Jacobson- looking back one year later what would you like oversight
to look like
Mr. McNabb- are you prepared to be the face of ASG when things get
bad?
Mr.Stevens- what did you learn from the constitutional crisis last year?
Mr. Kadon- I have none in mind, after last year I think we came to reasonable
conclusions. Last year it was very easy for senators to not show up and not be held
accountable
Mr. McNabb- How will you be able to represent ASG during a difficult time?
Mr. Kadon- able to accurately assess how the student body would want this to be
carried out, leadership capabilities and be able to be forceful enough
Mr. Forrest- what is pro temp’s role in properly run student government?
Mr. Kadon- accountability. Student government’s role is to represent the student body
and relay information to the students, so they should do so accurately
Mr.Reece- how do you plan on staying focused towards the end of the year, since you are
a senior?
Mr. Kadon- has taken secondary role in fraternity, easy course load, able to handle time
commitment. Worked a lot with new pledges in fraternity, and would like to do the same
with student government.
Mr. Kadon- overcommittment. Addressing that by not taking too many roles
Mr.Stevens- what is the one thing you took away from quote constitutional crisis?
Mr. Kadon- people should not involve personal reasons into oversight hearings, it
should be strictly business
Mr.Steven- what is the main thing you took away from the
constitutional crisis?
Chair: In a close vote, the pro temp for this year will be Kurt Kadon
Ms.Riddle: happy to see the budget is in the positive and not the
negative
Mr.Ferguson: club sports are very capital, a lot of travelling, 1/3 of our
funds, they do have a fantastic fundraising program
Mr.Ferguson: these are the final numbers, they may have realized there
is more essential cost than they initially requested
X. New Business:
a. SR010903: RHA Budget 2009-2010

b. SR010904: CAC Budget 2009-2010
Mr.Jacobson: you guys did a great job at the intro party for the
freshman
Ms.Pazyniak- absolutely
Chair: This has been a long time coming, 2 years ago 90.5% of student
body said a new student center is a moderately high or more need, since
there has been economic downturn, goal to bring in the same needs
assessment to find out how much students are willing to pay
Chair: the parents council, and some additional funding. 15,000 is the
majority, the survey in total is about 30,000.
Chair: the initial commitment was that the building of the center would be
from alumni donations and fundraising
Chair: In the past they’ve done both online and focus groups, multiple
phases
Mr.Ferguson- you could say it could affect them but technically this money
is not money the organizations would ever see its money we would be
repaying to the university
Ms.Bahir- why would a survey cost this much? Is this comparable to what
it cost originally?
Mr.Ferguson- no
Mr.Senko- what is the gap between donated funds and expected costs
Chair- I am not privy to that, and no student knows this information yet
Ms.Bahir- how are they going to come up with questions if they do not
know what students want?
Chair- They have prior knowledge from the previous surveys and they
have had spectacular results from other campuses and past projects
Mr.Zwayer- what was the rate of response from the original survey
Chair- the needs of the student body haven’t changed much in terms of
study space, dining space, student org space, therefore this will be based
more on financing
