a. Hannah Ulensey: I got involved with Project Compost fall of last year, and in spring quarter, was hired as unit director. Last year, 2 units were merged, became assistant director. Merge was made to better utilize resources. The merge has been very successful, very happy with what we’ve been able to do. With the help with some seriously dedicated volunteers, we were able to hire new directors and establish core principles we want in CCE. Thank you all to those who helped with that. I’m relatively new to ASUCD, but I’m extremely excited to play a part of this. Ultimately, our goal is to reestablish working relationship between student groups and admin. We established a more dedicated volunteer base this quarter due to both the merge and reaching out. ASUCD Night Out really helped. Some of our students took the

initiative to develop their own projects. Composting in dorm, getting offices green-office certified, and the development of a state-wide recycling bill. Student life projects established to increase relationship with different facets of campus. Project Compost was initially established as internship, ever since, rose up as their own unit, then subsequently merged. Now it’s a subunit of CCE, but still mostly runs on its own. This quarter we held our most successful workshop, composting with worms, were able to provide 25 worm bins to community with Dining Services. Project Compost has also been developing new pick-up locations. Partnered with Coffee Lab, now picking up their coffee ground waste. Project Compost is in the midst of auditing our compost pile, right now we have an estimate of 1000 pounds a week. CCE recently sponsored This Changes Everything film screening, followed by open dialogue with Davis students and community. This was a project we’ve been working on to strengthen relationship between campus and community. Currently hiring 12 interns. Project Compost will continue to work on their composting workshops. We are also doing a greenhouse gas emission project, partnering with Soil Science Department, hopefully will publish research paper by end of the year. Garden by the domes, developing an experiment to see which soil type promotes the most growth. Also creating natural cycles. Education and Outreach Team will be working with interns to develop herb garden in Cuarto. We’re also developing an environmental interest web. Students can come in and follow the web to see their specific interests and how they relate to projects on campus. Waste Reduction and Recycling program, rebuilding relationship. Helping UCD reach 0 net waste by 2020. Our largest task for the upcoming quarters, recently developed Project Challenge. Each month, challenge students to actions that will improve their day-to-day waste reduction. Hopefully will be partnering to create a flea market event on quad. Will be tying that in with New Year, money won’t be involved, will be purely trading. Other monthly themes include with food and water usage, transportation. Will be reaching out to units to create a partnership. EcoHub developing as environmental community. We are working in effort to purchase new electric vehicle. Aggie ReUse will be using that vehicle to transport supplies, will be reducing our load on our single electric vehicle. Unfortunately, they are very expensive, working on ways to purchase it. Also asking Senate to spread the word on EcoHub. EcoHub is thrilled to support fee initiative for green initiative. TGIF is a proposed fee referendum that will create green fund to provide grants for environmental projects. It’s active at 5 other UCs, hoping for UCD to join them. Current concerns about TGIF will only be geared towards green orgs on campus, that’s not true. With need for continued budget cuts, TGIF would be used as a way of compensating. Would love to hear from everyone.

i. Thomas: We had a meeting about LRDP that I think CCE should have some input on. Would be an opportunity for talking about sustainability on campus while increasing volume of students on campus.

ii. Rivilis: LRDP team will do tours for any org that wants them. Also, currently relationship with Arboretum?

Page 3: asucd.ucdavis.edu file · Web viewinitiative to develop their own projects. Composting in dorm, getting offices green-office certified, and the development of a state-wide recycling

iii. Ulensey: I’m one of the learning coordinators, so we have a very good relationship. Definitely something we’re interested in. We promote their internship opportunities to all volunteers, but that’s good to look into. Also have a tour with EPPC to work on LRDP.

iv. Fatayerji: Saw this article that I thought of the EcoHub for. If you want to contact Student Housing, freshmen toss out so much stuff in dorms, would be a great place to get stuff for flea market event.

v. Ulensey: Working with student housing to reduce amount of waste being thrown away, but that’s a good idea to partner for flea market event.

vi. Nahabedian: Is unit name EcoHub, or is that the space?vii. Ulensey: That’s the space. Our name at this point is CCE.

viii. Nahabedian: Do Resident Halls allow worm compost inside the dorms?ix. Ulensey: No, but hoping for students to have bins to collect their waste to

take them to the large compost bins outside. x. Nahabedian: Any continuing challenges with merge?

xi. Ulensey: Obvious one being budgetary. It’s been tricky. Lots of little things, but things we’re working out. We have a really solid staff group, so it’s going well.

xii. Nahabedian: Seems like you guys are handling the merge well. We’ve all been into this space, it’s really awesome. Given the circumstances, would you be open to really documenting this for the future?

xiii. Ulensey: I have about an 8 paged Google document right now about merging positions. I do have lots of documentation on what we’ve had to go through. Right now it’s specific to our units, but I would be happy to develop it in a way that makes it broader.

xiv. DeAngelo: TGIF organization on campus?xv. Ulensey: Hoping to discuss with everyone about where TGIF will be held.

xvi. DeAngelo: Why wouldn’t it be just under TGIF?xvii. Ulensey: That’s what I’m leaning towards. John Campbell said there should

be advisory committee, leaning towards putting only AS on it to encourage student involvement. Housing under CCE would make good sense, but just keeping our options open at this point.

xviii. Nguyen: Have you thought about linking with other units outside of EcoHub?

xix. Ulensey: Working with Unitrans, Pantry, CoHo, beyond that would love to reach out to other units.

xx. Smythe: Reem’s idea is good, but student housing asks for students to donate, gives items to Yolo Shelter. Maybe finding a way to balance those two things. Thank you for coming into this with an open mind, please continue to reach out.

xxi. Fatayerji: Have you thought of posting, maybe, on outside TB24? xxii. Ulensey: Something we’re working on. Working on a banner.

xxiii. Fatayerji: In the meantime, maybe one of those wooden things like clubs have? 2nd, Segundo Garden?

Page 4: asucd.ucdavis.edu file · Web viewinitiative to develop their own projects. Composting in dorm, getting offices green-office certified, and the development of a state-wide recycling

xxiv. Ulensey: Have been partnering with resident governments. Will be developing that, including with Segundo Garden.

xxv. Fatayerji: Also, awesome that you’re doing the documenting thing. xxvi. Chang: Is there anything in place to get compost bins all across campus?

xxvii. Ulensey: Yes, one of our student projects is increasing compost bins in student housing. There’s the issue of having both types of bins out of students throwing things they shouldn’t be throwing in them.

V. Committee ReportsVI. Presentations

A. Athletic Director Gould – 6:22a. Presentation

i. Gould: Happy Fall Quarter, sorry it’s taken so long for me to get in front of you guys. I make a commitment to try and appear in front of you guys at least once a quarter. I am thrilled that we are joined here tonight by some of our student athlete advisory committee. They are representatives from every one of our teams and they meet monthly to talk about critical issues facing student athletes.

1. Freddie Slyth2. Augustina Tseng3. Danielle Sef4. Adam Leevee

ii. Gould: I went through a goal-setting process over the summer to provide clarity about the overarching priorities of athletics this year. How are we going to connect our work back to the campus, what is our focus going to be this year? These priorities flowed from the priorities the Chancellor set for the campus. Priority 1: continue to improve the conditions for success to support our student athlete experience. 2: set strategic direction for the future of UCD Athletics. I’m going to talk about our search for a permanent director later. I think it’s important before we do that to talk about who we want that to be. 3: build positive and collaborative campus community partnerships. We are going to be visible on this campus, going to have strong partnerships, they’re going to be win-win. 4: tell our stories more aggressively. We have some of the best student athletes in the campus, we don’t tell that enough. 5: student fees, building a model that is sustainable, generating our own income. Lastly, an appropriate division 1 infrastructure for this campus. I want this to be a department UCD can be proud of. Let’s move on to the athletics director search. I am an interim, we will be transitioning onto a new athletic director. About 2 weeks ago, Chancellor appointed a recruitment advisory committee. 2 faculty members, 2 head coaches, 3 alumni, 1 student athlete, Mariah as President of ASUCD, I’m on it as interim Athletic Director, and Milt Lang. Scott Carroll is the chair of the committee. Committee is formed, going to be hiring an executive search firm. Once we get through fall quarter, committee and search firm are going to have a series of listening sessions where we get in front of groups like this

Page 5: asucd.ucdavis.edu file · Web viewinitiative to develop their own projects. Composting in dorm, getting offices green-office certified, and the development of a state-wide recycling

and we have open conversations about what kind of athletic director we’re looking for. Qualifications, skill sets, what kind of person would be a good fit at UCD. We will be working with Mariah to talk about how we engage the student body in those listening sessions. Then, the recruiting firm will go out and conduct interviews, hopefully will have permanent director over the summer. I encourage you to use Mariah as your representative. My last topic: wanted to share a little bit about, on my priorities I talked about collaborative partnerships. I appointed someone on our staff to serve as liaison to talk to ASUCD. Wanted to go through some of the things we’ve done this year. Back in the fall, our student athletic advisory took the lead and donated over 1000 items to the Pantry. Also collected items at volleyball matches and other sporting events. Doing a lot of in-game promotions. Aggie Rundown, going to show that in a minute. Unitrans bus displayed at tailgate lot. Football team got transported to games by Unitrans, vintage bus displayed as well. With the CoHo, we didn’t want to just give back in the partnership, but financially as well. We took $10k from catering services and took it to the CoHo. Hope that that grows. Not all of our sporting events have concessions, worked with CoHo to come out to select events to be our concessions vendor. Entertainment Council: about ready to finalize the terms of an MOU building off of last year’s Flume concert so that some of the ticketing fees that come in will go back to EC so we can give them some incremental revenue. Mariah and Miguel got an opportunity to travel along one of our workshops, trying to give you all access to the athletics department. Last thing: what you’re about to see is what we call our Aggie rundown. One of our former student athletes does a weekly video intended to tell the stories of athletics on campus. This goes on our website, distributed on social media.

b. Videoc. Questions

i. Rivilis: Anyone reported to you how food drive this weekend went? ii. Gould: I don’t have any numbers. Obviously this was a huge sports weekend

for us, but I haven’t gotten any specific numbers. iii. Velazquez: Last time, we talked about the cultural training, anything on

that?iv. Gould: We have a new lacrosse staff, working on 2 different pieces. Vicki

Gomez and I are talking about specific diversity training for women’s lacrosse training, but we’re also implementing mandatory student athlete diversity trainings. We’re behind, but we’re on it.

v. Thomas: Retention rate data? Conducted surveys for students after they graduated?

vi. Gould: We have all the data in terms of retention rates. In terms of surveys, 2 different surveys going on right now. Exit survey and an online survey of all student athletes. Exit survey asks about career plans, but I don’t think we can get back to them.

Page 6: asucd.ucdavis.edu file · Web viewinitiative to develop their own projects. Composting in dorm, getting offices green-office certified, and the development of a state-wide recycling

vii. Thomas: Would like to see that data. We have a lot of students who aren’t going pro, trying to find jobs, some don’t even know how to write resumes.

viii. Fatayerji: What are the developments of the MOU? ix. Gould: Just have to edit it and get it over to Mariah.x. Fatayerji: Did it end up being reduced to $2.00?

xi. Gould: $2.00, half to ASUCD, half to Athletics. xii. Guerra: Cross-cultural competency. Who’s in charge of getting those

trainings? xiii. Gould: What I had referenced earlier, I felt strongly we need to partner with

the campus because that’s not what we do every day. That’s why I’m working with Vicki Gomez and Sherry Atkinson. We won’t be executing it ourselves, will be asking campus experts.

xiv. Nazzal: Other than a partnership with ASUCD, how can we increase student spirit on campus?

xv. Gould: #1, we need to do a better job of educating our community, including student body, in terms of the exceptional student athletes that we have. Tomorrow, I’m going to be talking about the academic side of athletics, we should be proud that they’re spot-on. What can you do? Show up at games, tell the story, get to know our student athletes. One of the challenges that we have, student athletes put in so many hours, sometimes their more isolated than I’d like them to be.

xvi. Nahabedian: To go back to the training, there’s going to be one specific for lacrosse team, one for entire athletics department. Seems a little bit reactive to have one specific to lacrosse team. Why specifically them?

xvii. Gould: I don’t personally believe that our women’s lacrosse team needs the training more than any other student athlete. Something really bad happened, I want to give them a space to go through training with the entire team. The rest of the training will not be team by team. It’s going to be part of a life skills program. Because of the conversation we’ve been having on campus, we are going to do something focused and intensive with women’s lacrosse team, but moving forward, will be implementing training for once a year.

xviii. Mishra: What other values would you like to instill in student athletes that are learned here and used elsewhere in life?

xix. Gould: UCD is unique in its aspect of its holistic view of athletes. Academic success and athletic success is important, but also community. Student Advisory Committees do a great job of saying, “We have the opportunity to give back and make our community better.”

xx. Velazquez: To make it clear. This is an optional class?xxi. Gould: Student athletes have to pick a certain number of classes, but

diversity is required.xxii. Rivilis: Office work with financial aid office?

Page 7: asucd.ucdavis.edu file · Web viewinitiative to develop their own projects. Composting in dorm, getting offices green-office certified, and the development of a state-wide recycling

xxiii. Gould: haven’t had one of those yet, but will be working with financial aid office about student debt and basic money management. We actually have a staff person in financial aid specifically for athletics.

xxiv. Watson: Part of what we’re also doing with Athletics, this is the work of myself, Miguel, etc. Trying to tackle a redoing of the Athletics Principles. #3 and #7 were particularly concerning. Tiering and core funding. Want to show you what we have so far. We’re reaching out to different groups, you’ll be able to provide comments. Final version will be on ballot in winter. Original principles were voted on as background info to move from division 2 to division 1. Wanted to make sure students would be involved in the process. This will be sent to you all.

xxv. Smythe: Something that has been great about this partnership is the fact that they’re now using our services, we now have more reason to extend and expand our services. This has been great for us because now we can take a holistic view in hiring more students. Also, please use Greg. Something that is ASUCD’s issue is turnover and institutional memory. If you have that good idea, let Greg know before you leave so we don’t lose momentum.

xxvi. Ortiz: Unfortunately I didn’t get around to office hours this quarter, but I’m mostly free Mon-Wed. Happy to set aside any time, and any time my door’s open, really, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

xxvii. Smythe: A lot of our partnerships have come from just one of our senators saying, “Hey, we should do this.” I encourage you all to continue doing these things. Make sure to keep Greg in the loop.

i. Nicole: We did a lot of restructuring this year. Personnel, we added a few updates. Revised store manager, added a marketing team position. Updated volunteer department name. Regarding future plans for personnel, focusing on volunteer retention. Added a lot of orgs for external and internal relations.

b. Commission Recommendationsi. B&F: unanimously approved.

ii. EAC: Liked what ReUse was doing, wanted them to keep doing them. Passed.

c. Questions in Textd. Public Discussion

i. Johnson: Previously, it was just unit director managing volunteers?ii. Nicole: Have 2 store managers, but last LRP wasn’t updated to reflect that.

iii. Johnson: Any added finances or incomes?iv. Nicole: 2 paid store managers, last year at budget hearings, those salaries

were cut. Okay with that for now, but in the future, we could reinstate those positions.

v. Johnson: Is there a timeline on expansion?vi. Nicole: Doing well with the space we have, making lots of profits from that.

Probably far along the line, but it’s hard to see possibilities.vii. Lee: Thanks for coming through with a very thorough LRP.

e. Senate Discussioni. Chang: On line 17, just curious, how come unit director is in bullet points,

the rest are paragraphs? ii. Nicole: Copy and pasted from descriptions, wasn’t standardized.

f. Call to Questiong. Passed

B. SB #18 – 8:19a. Author’s Comments

i. Chang: This is to add training duties to elections chair. b. Commission Recommendationsc. Questions in Textd. Public Discussion

i. Lara: Curious about how this is going to work realistically. Are chairs going to come back? What if they graduate? Also the issue of student employment, not paying them.

ii. Nahabedian: The VP does the training for the upcoming senators. I understand why you would want elections chair because they’re doing the job. However, I think that Francisco brought up a good point. Sounds like there isn’t a training, and there should be one, but why exactly the chair?

iii. Chang: Daisy and I are going to write a follow-up bill on that process. We could also have VP do the training.

iv. Smythe: My recommendation would be to have the pro-temp, if in the event the elections chair can’t be there, pro-temp to fill in. I think the idea of the pro-temp is good, but the idea of spring is good too.

v. Chang: That would be in the follow-up bill, but this is to add that to the duties.

vi. Rivilis: In regards to training, I would think it makes sense to have the IAC chair train.

e. Senate Discussion

Page 9: asucd.ucdavis.edu file · Web viewinitiative to develop their own projects. Composting in dorm, getting offices green-office certified, and the development of a state-wide recycling

i. Rivilis: There should be a relationship between IAC chair and elections chair. If you find it makes sense to have IAC chair, pro-temp, and elections chair to communicate together, then that’s fine too.

ii. Nguyen: It should be advised that the new elections chair works with IAC, but I think in terms of training, pro-temp is sufficient. Motion to add language.

termed out and are no longer being paid. f. Bill Withdrawn

b. Commission Recommendationsc. Questions in Textd. Public Discussion

i. Lara: Do you want to know that it’s already stipulated in judicial codes that they can’t run for Senate?

ii. Nahabedian: Does this bill include court clerks?iii. Chang: No, only appointed positions. iv. Divide the House

1. (11-0-1)v. Nahabedian: Necessary to have this in bylaws. We don’t have control of

judicial codes, they could choose to strike that.vi. Rivilis: Technically you do have control because Constitution trumps judicial

codes.vii. Nahabedian: This is in Constitution?

viii. Rivilis: Technically yes, because it says you have to be impartial. Up to interpretation.

ix. Nguyen: Motion to add language to line 13, line should read “Any current appointed official of the judicial branch must resign prior to pulling out a packet for an elected office within ASUCD.”

x. Nguyen: We should include in here a reference to judicial codes. e. Senate Discussion

i. Lee: Might have to consider not having word “appointed” because Attorney General has 2 deputy generals.

ii. Nahabedian: How about saying the specific names of the positions? iii. Nguyen: Feel like we would be targeting. I would suggest keeping it open. iv. Nahabedian: The spirit of this, it’s about the people who sit on the court. I

don’t see it as targeting anyone specific. v. Nguyen: Divide the House on specifically stating the positions

1. 6-4-2 (would pass)vi. Nguyen: Motion to add specific titles

Golden State Warriors as official MBA team. b. Divide the House

i. 6-1-5 (failed, Smythe votes no)B. Casey’s question

a. Nguyen: Because 2 of the candidates in the election violated judicial codes, we are allowed to close session them. Is that something we’d like to pursue? I feel like we should because there were candidates that had to resign to run.

b. Rivilis: What would we accomplish?c. Nguyen: We’d ask them to resign. d. Rivilis: It would be a back-and-forth between both branches. You’d need to indict

them in order to make them resign. e. Nahabedian: We can ask them to resign before we indict them. Also, according to

judicial codes they can’t be a candidate.

f. Smythe: We can’t close session them unless it goes through IAC first. g. Lara: Nothing says that AG can’t run. Also, judicial codes aren’t our own. We don’t

have any ability to compel them to do anything. h. Lee: I would urge not to do a closed session. We 6 are going to be out, the first thing

the new 6 would be doing is asking the unsuccessful candidates to resign.i. Divide the House

i. 8-4-0 (Passed)C. Lee: Motion to refer Lunch with ASUCD bill to IAC. D. Smythe: Causeway Classic this Saturday, fortunate enough to have Unitrans bus that will

have the ability to take ASUCD members to the event and back. If you’d like to come, please let me know. I need a hard number by tomorrow. Bus will be leaving from Pavilion at 1 sharp. Also, Francisco has been doing an amazing job facilitating 2 roles. Controller and Refrigerator Services Director. We’re going to have a fridge collection on Monday. We will be sending you information, would appreciate if you or your staff could come out to help.

E. Fatayerji: Tomorrow, I have a meeting with Darin. If any of you have any suggestions about the CoHo, pass me a note, tell me by tomorrow morning.

F. Johnson: Tomorrow at noon is trans* day of remembrance. Also, there are multiple students dealing with a professor who has been saying blatantly offensive things. I want to know how to address this.

a. Nguyen: Sam’s working on something, you should talk to her.b. Garcia: The go-to thing is to fill out a bias report. Whoever it is cannot retaliate.

G. Smythe: Yesterday there was a very effective protest chalking names of those killed by police. Unfortunately, they were cleaned. The resolution from that is that they’re going to send out a campus-wide email, or just to the parties affected.

a. Garcia: For sure, there will be an email created saying that the fault is on admin. Milton can only strongly recommend to Chancellor that it be campus-wide.

H. Garcia: GASC is having 3 events tomorrow, so I hope you all can come by. Professionalism panel, fundraiser for AB540 Undocumented Center, Dry Space.

I. Johnson: Folks on the table, if you know folks who are black, tomorrow is last day for auditions for Freddie Gray Project. 2-5 tomorrow in the Art Building.

J. Thomas: I believe it’s important to engage in dialogue with people who have opposing views. My staff are working on getting on trying to get Donald Trump together, I think it’s important for us to engage in critical dialogue.

a. Velazquez: You should try to talk to Chi/Lat community. It brings a lot of unsafeness, a lot of anger. It hurts the community.
