LCSC will probably be part of that as well as ISU. Have been given 22 million to build buildings. JFAC will recommend to the House and Senate the approval of 3 and ˝ positions for Nursing for LCSC. It looks like LCSC will get what it wants this year. “Keep your fingers crossed.”

■          Committees Director Gray- Thanks to everyone for putting the dates up. Will have the updated rosters on Thursday.

■          Media Relations Director Sherpa- Diversity Committee is meeting Thursday in the Conference room. Went to the job fair and it was an interesting experience. Two people for next week’s Pathfinder: Dani Diaz and Sheldon Allen. Then will start on the Judicial Branch.

 

Judicial Communications

■          Chief Justice Vaughan- As you can see there are Judicial rulings attached to the bills they ruled that the bills are constitutional. Last day to turn in packets will be tomorrow at 5pm. Mandatory meeting is this Friday, if you can’t make it send someone in your place…it is grounds for disqualification. Will have the ballots on the table probably by next week. Working on the Election BBQ.

 

Committee Reports

Graduation: VP Smith reported that they met before this meeting. Pleased with the way the committee is going. Farther ahead than we have been in the past so there will be less to do during finals week.

Ways & Means: VP Smith reported that what is on the table is what was discussed at the meeting last week. Needs to be passed as soon as possible so the special election can be printed in the Pathfinder.

Curriculum Committee: Senator Frei reported that they met last week about the Kinesiology changes. Will be meeting again next week and she will not be able to attend so CJ Vaughan will be going in her place.
