My first day back began with a bang so indulge me for a moment while I muse about some established facts and complete opinions from the office of the VP...
Today the SBA EBoard had its monthly breakfast meeting with the Deans (only Solomon and Baker, unfortunately Ferzan could not join us). I will discuss some of what we talked about as well as other happenings of importance.
First: Academic Dean's Forum (Ferzan) - Thursday March 26th 12:30 - 2:00 in Room 106
Come and bring your academic questions, comments, and concerns.
Topics will include (but are not limited to):
Attendance Policy
Grade Distributions
Examination Methods
2009-2010 Curriculum and Fall Registration
Hunter Moot Court (shift in program)
A Non-Academic Dean's Forum (Solomon and Baker) is currently in the works.
Second: Cafe Information
Service Items (when open):
Breakfast - danish, bagels, coffee, etc.
Lunch - grab-n-go sandwiches and salads (with specialized orders)
Third: Proposed Student Fee Increase
There will be a referrendum on one of the Spring Ballots involving whether or not the raise the student fee by $10, thus increasing the SBA/Student Org budget. This money was removed last year as an unused Yearbook Fee and the referredum will offer the students a choice whether we should reinstitute that money for general use.
Fourth: SBA Webpage: https://camlaw.rutgers.edu/cms/student-bar-association
Check out your current SBA Council and the SBA Constitution
The RULaw webpage should be getting a facelift in the immediate future
Fifth: Student Honor Court
The SBA Ethics Committee (chair: Jen Budd) is currently looking into our Code of Conduct and other academic regulations. The idea of having a student-based honor court has been placed on the table and if you have any ideas, please feel free to share them.
That is all for now, I really hope people read this.
-Sandy Budd, VP
