1. Events Attended:a. Ohio Commission on Latino/Hispanic Affairs Awards Gala - 10-
17-2014b. Rise. Shine. Public Campaign Launch - 10-18-2014c. Raj Soin College of Business Cafe Groundbreaking - 10-22-2014
2. Old Business:a. Associate Director for Governmental Affairs Robert Yada and I
met with Lee Guld at the Nutter Center to talk about the Scholarship Benefit happening in the spring. Rob and I had very good conversation with Lee who, along with the Nutter Center Catering Director, discussed to us various options that we have with the room, theme, and food for the event, as well as contracting the space. I am waiting on Lee to email me the proposed contract and will give further updates once I get it.
b. I have formed the Core Committee for Strategic Planning for Student Government and have drafted the materials for it. I have also met with Dr. Sweeney multiple times to go over what I have drafted for him to give tips and guidance. The committee will meet tomorrow (Tuesday, October 28), where I will add to this report when done.
3. New Businessa. I met with Aaron Engle, University College Senator, about the
Internship Program. Aaron is going to make any edits to the application that he thinks appropriate and then draft an email to send to the contacts that I gathered earlier this semester from members’ previous high school. From there, Aaron and I are going to create a PowerPoint to present during the visits to the high schools.
b. I am going to be meeting with Aaron Engle (University College Senator), Rahima Hamadi (Associate Director of Academic Affairs), and Brandon DeFore (College of Liberal Arts Senator) on seeing of University College serves the purpose effectively and seeing the future purpose of University College itself. It has been seen as a well-intentioned idea, but has been poorly designed and is becoming, if not already, an outdated model. More and more colleges are offering direct-admit status to their
freshmen, where the argument is that individual colleges know what is best for their students and will provide them with the appropriate support for academic and career success.
c. Rahima Hamadi and I are working on some research in regards to a fall break where there would be a day or two off near midterms to elevate stress for students, provide an opportunity for students to catch up, and an opportunity to take a break.
4. Administrative Office Report:a. Please keep in mind that the regular meetings are not just set
by members of the Executive Board, but by all members in general. If there is an item that a member would like on the agenda, please email Zena Fadel, Director of Internal Affairs, to be placed on the agenda. That said, agenda items do not just need to be resolutions, reports, confirmation hearings, etc. They can be just discussing items on “hot topics” that students are facing that you would like to be heard and discussed.

b. The Moat has raised a lot of controversy, and students seem to like the tradition that it has instilled, but the university realizes the potential for the space aesthetically. A majority of the students I’ve spoken with are juniors and seniors and wish the moat to stay, but I believe it serves little purpose and should suit better as an overhang space for more tables and an open view of the quad as the younger students I have spoken with have said.

d. A group of students have commented that the light pole near the Alumni Bell Tower does not illuminate the surrounding area quite as well as they would please for they feared the possibility of malice occurring and would like to see the light bulb changed.

d. Internal Committee Meeting Fixed the SG bulletin board
e. Parking and Transportation Director Meeting Campus Shuttle: WSU is very short on campus shuttles. They mostly
only drive around campus and to the Avalon Place. RTA Partnership: RTA and WSU have looked into plans in the past to
work together to give students free transportation to use the RTA. However, nothing is actually free. WSU would charge every student an amount for the RTA in their tuition. They did not believe 4 years ago this was worth it to the students.
Green Cats Partnership: Greene Cats is always very interested in a partnership with WSU. However, students would also pay for this transportation in their tuition. The Greene which is a part of Greene County is the top place that WSU students want to go to when they live on campus. Many students at WSU are familiar with places in Greene County.
Speed Bumps in the back of Lot 4: The director believed that this was a good idea and was in support of the idea.
Pricing of Parking Tickets: The current ticket prices were created in 2000. Faculty in 2000 wanted more strict fines then there are now for parking in faculty spots. They wanted students to be automatically towed, but they made a decision of a 50 dollar fine for when students park in their spots.
RTA and Campus Shuttle Covers: The shuttle stops by the Nutter Center are better than the ones by campus. The director does not like
the covers. However, he does not believe this is a huge issue because the stops that are not covered well are near buildings. Students could wait inside until they saw the bus coming at most stops that are not fully covered.
Why can’t we buy parking passes in person?: After the Parking and Transportation office was moved to Med Sci, Parking and Transportation did not feel their office space was worth having visitors to by passes. They also feel no students would know where they are located to come buy the passes if that was an option.
f. Research on other schools pricing of parking passes and tickets I compared us too OSU, BGSU, UC, Miami University, and UD. I am still looking for more research. I have found their parking
permits and some of their fines. I want to make a comparison chart. I think this would be a good thing
to be shared with students. I also am interested in finding information to see if it is logical to
lower prices of fines for students parking in faculty parking spots.g. Speed Bumps in Lot 4
I am working getting in touch with the correct person to discuss WSU future plans for speed bumps in Lot 4.
