Senate Information Reports

■          Senator Estes explained that the reason he voted “No” on Resolution 07-S005. Stated that he went and spoke to Health Services. Stated they serve about 750 students. Due to the lack of funding they are unable to fund more doctors on staff. Because of the lack of doctors they have to refer students to Valley Medical or the Hospital which means the student has to pay higher fees. President Bloomsburg advised that Trudy Alva advised the Finance Committee that Student Health Services is an Auxiliary service, which means they should support themselves. Compared Student Health Services to the Bookstore when LCSC had control of it.

■          Senator Ojeda: Went to USSA and DC Summit. Compared the two Leadership Conferences and advised that she thought USSA is the better choice. One of the USSA people offered to come to LCSC and give a presentation. President Bloomsburg advised that someone should get with Ernie to write up a grant for Institutional Development. Discussion ensued about DC Summit. Brandon added that it may be a good idea to bring someone in to speak to the whole group.

 

Audience Time

■          Media Relations Director Sherpa: Reminder that this week is Native American Awareness week. Thursday is the Friendship Banquet. Friday is the Pow Wow in the Activity Center.

 

Adjournment

Motion to adjourn Senator Estes, second Senator Fragnella. Unanimous. Meeting adjourned at 4:57pm.
