LCSC Administration Communications

■          Provost Fernandez- Has no report. Advised that he will be the administrator that will be attending all the meetings that he can. Will be gone for some of the Roundtables will have a Dean sit in for him and will rotate the Dean’s.

 

Executive Communications

■          President Bloomsburg- CDA will be here Oct. 5 will have a lunch. Lunch will be provided by the Senate. One of the major issues they would like to discuss is the credit issue. A lot of the students at LCSC CDA also go to NIC and would like to have the required number of credits for participation in the Committee dropped. The Senate decided to have lunch between 11:30 to 12:30. Will have it either in the office or SUB 225 (if available). Give the campus tour after that. Does not know what time they will be here.

■          Vice-President Smith- Would like Ways and Means to meet before CDA gets here next week to discuss the credit issue. Meet briefly after this meeting to decide when Ways and Means will meet. Senator Kent Johnson brought up the fact that the credit issue is in the Constitution, so it would not just be a Bylaw issue.

■          Media Relations Director Sherpa- Advised the Senate that she does a press release to the Pathfinder every week. If there is something you would like put in the Pathfinder let her know. She has not been getting anything in her box. Brandon added that he is not getting everything either. Advised she is not the Assistant Editor anymore, please put bills and resolutions in the Pathfinder box too. If you want to write something for the Pathfinder as a Senator you should talk to her first. If you are writing as a student there is no problem.

 

Judicial Communications

■          Chief Justice Vaughan- This week a little hectic for an election board meeting, will call a meeting early next week.

Jimmie O’Harra: Handed out the “Statement of General Terms and Conditions” for the Clubs and Orgs websites. On the survey 13 out of 14 answered that they would use the webspace. Decided not to use the email as we already have lcwarriormail. Give any comments to Senator Fragnella. Would like to finalize these plans by Friday. Talked about the size of the websites and bandwidth. Stated that there will not be a link from the LCSC homepage, but the links will remain from the clubs and orgs website. Total cost will be $800 (Fall to Fall). Clubs can expand their features for more money. This will cover the basics for everyone, but will not cover streaming video. Most of the really active clubs turned in surveys. Domain would be owned by the club so in effect will be owned by the college. If you have any other questions direct them to Senator Fragnella.

Provost Fernandez advised he and Dr. Hanson had discussed the issue briefly and he is waiting for it to come up through the channels.
