Resolution #07-F001

Authored By: President Smith

Whereas: The ASLCSC is charged with making certain that student fee monies are being used to benefit the students as effectively as possible.

Whereas: The ASLCSC responds to student questions and objections about the allocation of fee monies.

Whereas: Some members of the student body have expressed strong feelings of dissatisfaction with CampusCruiser (known on campus as LCWarriorMail).

Whereas: A significant portion of the student technology fee is spent annually to purchase the license for CampusCruiser. (The license fee for 2007-2008 is over $35,000.)

Whereas: The ASLCSC wants to ensure that CampusCruiser provides the students with the best value in a campus-wide email system.

Whereas: The Information Technology Department has spent the previous three months investigating alternatives to CampusCruiser.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASLCSC SENATE:

Section 1: That the LCWarriorMail committee and the LCSC IT department begin the review of alternative email systems with involvement from all campus constituents to provide an opportunity for an improved and less expensive email system than is currently in place.

Section 2: That ASLCSC should charge student committee members to work closely with other members to review viable alternatives to CampusCruiser.

Section 3: That ASLCSC should request that the committee produce a recommendation to the LCSC administration by the end of December, 2007. This recommendation should consist either of keeping CampusCruiser, or identifying the best alternative to CampusCruiser

Section 4: This resolution will pass upon a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the

ASLCSC Senate and the signature of the ASLCSC President.
