SBA Meeting Minutes, 3/28/10

Hello again everyone!

At the last SBA meeting, we discussed and gave status updates for events you've heard a lot about this week: SBA elections and Barristers' Ball. As those topics have been laid out in full detail in last few blogs, so I'll skip to some new business:

- 2L representative Leslie McGeoch brought up the issue than many students had with the Clark Commons (5th St. Bridge) being closed for two days last week. In case you weren't aware, the bridge was closed on one day for an state environmental meeting, and then again the next day for a state budgetary meeting. The problem students had wasn't so much that the bridge was closed, but that it was closed on consecutive days, and students were prevented from even crossing the bridge. Many students were displaced and left without an area to congregate or study. Another issue that was raised was that a few attendees were seen walking into faculty offices and student spaces, and appropriating those spaces for their own personal use.

A few solutions were raised, including: not having events of this kind scheduled for multiple days in a row, or scheduling future events like these ones on Fridays, when less students are at the law school. The e-board will address this matter with the administration at a future Dean's Breakfast.

- 3L President Shannon Troutman has organized a NCAA Finals Frenzy Event at the Victor Pub on April 5th, starting at 8:30pm. Come watch the end of March Madness! For a $5 cover, you get a bunch of great drink specials. For more info, see the Facebook event page. All proceeds go toward festivities on the final day of classes. Come celebrate! Us 3Ls won't be around for much longer.....

- Yet again, if you're interested in running for a SBA position, make sure you fill out your affidavit of candidacy form! Affidavits of Candidacy are due in the 3L lockbox by 6:00 p.m. TODAY! Again, if anyone is interested in running for SBA Secretary, please come talk to me, or e-mail me at ckwright@camden.rutgers.edu.


My days of blogging are numbered,

Callan Wright, SBA Secretary
