Fight Song

5. Presentation and Discussion about Wesleyan's Strategic Plan and Institutional Priorities with Wesleyan Vice President, Peter Patton

- Roth sent memo to encourage everyone to attend meeting on November 5

- Roth to talk about planning process – how can student body be engaged, what does the institution need to do to take the next step?

- WSA in particular: what kind of process, faculty has already proposed their strategy that they would like to see accomplished by the end of November. Administration wants report by the end of the spring term.

- Planning process began 12 years ago w/ Bennet. It added faculty jobs, student loans, kicked started “Engage the World.”

- Roth wants to built Wes endowment (we currently rank at about 18 in the top 20) and provide stability for the institution for example for financial aid

1) Financial Aid Challenges – reduce 4 yr loan levels, not to exceed 4yr Stafford loan limit of 19,000 beginning with the class of 2012; could we eliminate loans for students with the highest need (Pell). Match cost as Wes tuition goes up.

2) Curricular Innovations – allocate the eight faculty positions that are funded under the current strategic plan; improve course access in high demand areas of the curriculum

- renovate Davenport to become Center for the Study of Public Life (relieve overcrowding in PAC, creates space to accommodate new programs possibly the Center for the Study of Public Life and the Quantitative Analysis Center) 

            - have a proposed layout including visiting faculty offices, computer classroom, and seminar rooms,

- Mellon Foundation has challenged Wes to develop a program in Middle Eastern Studies interdisciplinary study of history, culture, politics, and religion of the region.

- Science plan = capacity to increase the number of students majoring in the sciences (one of the best in liberal arts), general education for non-science majors, construct a new facility for the molecular and life sciences.

3) Molecular and Life Sciences developing proposed model to take down Shanklin and have an open space, clean up lawn (160 million project) must be fundraised for, one of the highest priorities of the next campaign, conceptual design will be presented in Feb. 2008; capstone experience for seniors; Wes “initiatives” curriculum designed to address important contemporary issues

4) Co-curricular Innovation – expand integration, i.e. first year matters

5)      Other Facilities Needs – preserve and make accessible Wes collections – museum, improve student housing (pull housing too far north of wash, houses that are near the end of their life… 1.5 mil for each triplex, land use planning for Long Lane/ environmental cleanup finished in the next 2-3 years give to seniors in Middletown community, possible move of soccer and football to LL

 

Stack

Becky – Green Street Arts Center plans for expanding?

Peter  - begun to see faculty and students use facility more; need to engage the Wes community (already doing tutoring); seen Wes faculty during

Charlie – 8 new faculty positions, what are the areas of the curriculum?

Peter – Prof. Bruno the deans and Joe will look at need and biggest impact (ie gov, economy).

Mike – 80 -100 thousand to abandon the houses and putting a prototype in its place, renovating would be a fraction of the cost of destroyed and replaced?

Peter - Will vary; houses like those on pine look better on outside than the inside; house where there is extensive water damage and roof caving in some are beyond repair

Cecil – Loosing journals in library?

Peter- Can’t answer. According to Barbara Jones what’s most important is access. Print has become very expensive, consortia, sharing, electronic access are going to be the ways to solve that problem.

Cecil – Issue. Loss of mercurials online.

Peter – Loss through internal access, pay by the article. Somebody has to pay, I don’t know who would pay. Third party vendors?

Bradley – Zilcka chair in Social studies and President Roth establishing geology; would eight new position go to existing departs?

Peter – Yes.

Bradley – Timeline, Bennet to three year. Expected timeline?

Peter - MR fairly concise plan by the end of year. State of Wes has changed; plan was mainly financial, but academic so it may have take Doug a little bit longer to understand where Wes needs to go.

Candace – Wes initiative; how viable for every major on campus? For example the classics?

Peter – A lot to offer in terms of history.

Candace – have u talked about Wes initiative with professors.

Peter – No this is a new idea, nothing has been decided.

Matt – You wanted to let us know what initiatives are being planned, do we have a say while these things are happening? What about the issues where we don’t sit on a board, such as Middle Eastern Studies, Office for Public Life? Expressed interest to be involved, but have not heard. How will students be involved actively?

Peter- LL could have students on committee; M.E. studies only if we get the Mellon Grant, office still in proposal stage. Consult students and professors.

Jesse – What admin wants to do w/ LL and Exley, but what about Mocon?

Peter – There has not been a good development for its adaptive use; evaluated basketball gym, art depart to find it useful; willing to take interesting ideas that are cost effective – heating. Could be demolished, don’t rule that out.

Saul – “Engaging with the world” facing obstacles from effectively engaging with their region. For example for places like the NY and the airport there are limited options. There is a shuttle for holidays but with limited hours. We need to be able to get places easier. Any plans? How could students get involved?

Peter – Students can submit proposals in terms of what they want to see in transportation. If that’s where the student body wants the resources spent they need to tell us.

Jesse – Transportation into Middletown when weather is bad.

Peter – Could take the ride and Middletown area transit.

6. Presentation about the Future of the New York Times Readership Program with WSA members Sami Pop '11 and Robert Alvarez '11

- Inform assembly on what’s been going on w/ times; think of ideas/ proposals

- Propose a program to provide resources to and  educating the students of Wes to become a more effect

-7-8 yrs old, originally funded by pres office and WSA

- Intro rate at .30, but kept price according to billing error

- Newspapers delivered by  students to Fisk, Exley, Usdan, Summerfields, Pac, North college, and speaker program

- WSA past 15, 00; academic affairs 6, 00 and deans office 4,000 but they are trying to lower contribution; problem – more money to generate but recently we have found more problems.

- Distribution: science center and Usdan receive the most; Fisk and Pac are new and usually most are picked (678 average picked up)

- Price: 07-08 13, 221

- Price next year: 30, 849

08-09 19831 fall

19,831 spring

total 39, 663

- Possible solutions: cut program (locations, number of papers, number of days), get more funding from available sources (raise WSA portions, various departments,  alumni), new sources

1) cut program

- cut program: first to go probably North college could subtract 35,276

- cut papers:  21,000 secured for 08-09 or cap papers at 358

- cut days: 305.10/day (mon – 650-775), tues – 630-800, wed 600-700, thurs 550- 660, fri – 650-750)

2) More funding

- Fisk, Exeley, Pac – ask department buildings where paper is being distributed budget into annual spending; essentially just asking academic affairs again

- WSA take money away from student groups

- Alumni – ask Roth, ask for donation to generate endowment 600,000-800,000

3) Raise funds

- Fund raiser project – dance, fair, low yield projection

- Ask faculty to pay about $5 per semester

- Last option – increase student activities fee (if students had their own sub. would be about 150)

4) Raising student awareness

- Jeopardy of the future of the program

- Argus – continue articles

- Students recycle paper (cost of program or re-racking program)

Stack

JZ – PR bliss – participating in wasteful behavior with newspapers and promote that route; not one right answer; WSA portion should increase; disingenuous to ask others when we are not bringing more to the table; come dressed as favorite morning show

David – How much would that save if we cut the two least read days by half? Student body and WSA shouldn’t eliminate faculty locations – slap in the face – ask them to pay more money first.

Emily - It was requested by the faculty to get this started, back then the papers didn’t get delivered to their homes.

Candace – Understand that asking Academic Affairs twice, but it would make sense for them to contribute since it is their budget; could we tie this into the senior gift?

Emily – Traditionally the senior gift goes to financial aid but we can consider this.

Jen – Sustainability. Need to fine-tune program, a lot of waste as it is.

Robert – Recycled by times, hard to decide day by day case, probably will end up cutting day by day.

Emily – Day to day figures stay the same, unless pres. election…consider this fro next year

Jen – North college should be cut, student program

Sam – We shouldn’t be subsidizing faculty paper, but it is the administration and that is academic affairs. At some point we need to cap each of these days. Don’t want to make it a huge priority; the people who want the paper get it early in the day. Only way to get money from faculty or department is by appealing to majors.

JZ – Statistics – more out weighs the cost.

Bryan – Program will be a combination of cuts and funding sourcing. Explore what programs out there specifically for media and cultural awareness for programs like this.

Mike – Who is responsibly for paying student workers on commission?

Robert – Based on how much they count.

Mike – Dean contribution may not be cut; administrators can always get papers out of convenience in North college while students are not yet awake. Two drop off periods?

Charlie – More for cutting than finding more funding? Students will readily deal w/ finding

scarcity of papers.

Alex – Co-pay of papers? Honesty policy is not going to work. If we’re going to divert funds from student groups to this program we need to ask them.

Matt – Environmental issue: cut program in some form, but physical papers are good some advantages over the internet. North college close to Usdan, should be cut locations should be spread out. Incentives to report papers at the end of the day are a little off; do our own investigation, have seen extra papers. Philosophical implications – don’t want administration to push on to WSA things they want but don’t want to fund.

Jesse- What count’s as being read? Many used papers at pi café, reduce numbers of papers at larger location – more incentives to recycle papers.

Sami – Papers on tables that stay on table for the whole day.

Robert – Fisk and Pac are new; they do allow more students to get them and they are all used up.

Jen – Not increasing total numbers of papers read and would encourage them to go to other locations.

Matt – Concentrate on securing long term funding 5 and 10 years down the line; publicize speaker program. EC met with Roth and we determine what is our priority he would help with fundraising to insure financial viability.

Alec – Unfair for students to be paying for papers and have faculty using them at free will; more awareness from the administration and student body.

7. Discussion about GRS changes with WSA members Mike Pernick '10 and Saul Carlin '09

Mike:

- Increaese education on the current system – i.e. how many people are ahead of youe

- Structural changes – more accessible, less stressful

Saul

- Eliminate need for senior housing meeting

- Reduce proposals to from 3 hour sessions to 30 minute erase some issues with splitting and merging

- Make it automated online selection like course selection; be able to rank groups and housing choices; increased flexibility but loose immediate splitting and merging aspect.

- GRS: selecting room, rank/ lottery number for room selection. Option to split group up or merge with other groups to increase odds or choices as rooms are selected.

Mike

- What do we as students think are our priorities?

- What sacrifices are we willing to make?

 

 

 

 

Stack

Robert: what do u mean by flexible?

Saul: flex means changing groups and rooms

Mike: want less flexibility to choose room over side of hall

Rob: doesn’t that make more sense?

Mike: people want to be near friends?

Becky: as a sophomore you might want a single but switch at the last minute with your friends. Do you know any schools that already have a successful online system for GRS?

Mike: No other school has a GRS system like Wes; we have a lot of options. Even if we change the system to

Becky: Are there a lot of problems?

Sual: look at course registration for example

Alison: it’s stressful, but flexibility is a bigger problem. Everyone in the same space at the same time is good.

Candace: problem with merging. effects availability of housing and bumping down. could we have specific dates when you could merge and split. give an allotted amount of housing for the first 600 numbers

Emily: how would we loose flexibility with splitting and merging. problem right now is that there is no set time. simplify process we already have.

Mike: 30 secs. to make a pick wouldn’t change stress.

Emily: Georgetown does electronic GRS

Cecil: people set up groups with people off campus. i.e. sophomore would find junior in beta and drop junior in the last minute to find a better housing option.

Mike: beta isn’t recognized by reslife

Candace: School has a deal with Middletown that more than 30 people will not be allowed off campus.

Alec: necessary evil. braking it down is still possible

Mike: class year quotas – sophomore groups of 2, juniors groups of 4, and seniors groups of 6. i like having housing map online. on way to convene with others who have no housing until august. looking into having some kind of meeting after GRS . with summer housing possible set ups are also looked into.

Matt: before overhauling the system ask what people don’t like about it. are people dissatisfied housing or they do they not like the system? do a survey about what students would like to see done. students who don’t get housing will get extra points for the next year.

Mike: If you don’t move into lorise or highrise than extra point would be awarded.

Matt: Bad choice junior year and have the advantage senior year.

Sam: one way to improve system would be to have reslife release predictions based on the year before. Real problem is the rooms on campus that are not open. Change relationship with beta (unintentionally empty)

Alec: something on the website. history of what has been done on the house and have student feed back on house.

Mike: comparing actual numbers problem – renovations and new students. Now you can see who has booked that room, but not who has a higher pick than you. Changing this would add to the predictability.

7. Committee Reports

Community Outreach Committee

  1. 190 High

Inslee finished the student group contract; Mickie is looking over it, Cesar and Inslee will meet with Tim this week to finalize it. We’re also meeting with the University Organizing Center on Wednesday to determine whether or not they will be using 190 High.

 

  1. Wes Dance – Middletown elementary school partnership

Darien is organizing a program for Wes student dance groups to go to Middletown elementary and middle schools and teach kids dances. She’s already contacted the groups and is now contacting the school officials.

 

  1. Lighting tour follow-up

Roseann Sillasen (Construction Services) is getting back to Inslee about the Usdan lights and others that are left on all night. Weshop lights are left on for security reasons.

 

  1. WesTV

WesTV finally got its listserv, we’ll have our first meeting this week.

 

  1. Group Registration Continues

Group registration continues: thanks to Alec, we have a new listserv to contact all active or inactive groups. Groups that are inactive and have been active in the past are submitting their changes, which they hadn’t previously done because of a miscommunication about the mandatory meeting (they thought only new groups had to register).

 

1)      Brief meeting- issue with sports clinic; someone might take over that outside of the wsa

2)      Campus is very well lit

3)      COCo went undefeated at the WSA party

Matt: cameras in weshop

Alec: lighting

JZ: blue light

Candance: lights in Freeman?

Becky: should be turned off

Cecil: blue lights over

 

Education Policy Committee

  1. Wesleyan Summer Language Institute

At its last full meeting, the EPC voted to approve a three-year pilot version of the Wesleyan Summer Language Institute, which is to be run by the office of Graduate Liberal Studies. Barring unforeseen difficulties, the program is slated to begin this coming summer and will (initially) offer courses in Arabic, French, Russian and Spanish. The programs will take place on Wesleyan’s campus in an “immersion” format over the length of 4 weeks.

 

  1. Questions about “withdrawals”

The EPC received an e-mail from a professor on behalf of his student advisee, who intended to drop a course after the “drop-add” period had ended, but who didn’t want to have a “W” (for withdrawal) attached to her transcript. The professor felt that the student was dropping the course for the right reasons, and should not be penalized with a “W.” After discussion on this issue, the EPC’s Courses subcommittee felt that this wasn’t an issue that merited changing the rules about transcripts. Both the faculty (generally) and the office of the Registrar believe it is very important that a student’s transcript accurately reflects their work at Wesleyan, withdrawals and all.

 

  1. Issue with Half-Semester (“Quarter”) Courses

One of the faculty members on the EPC recently made the rest of the committee aware of an issue in how fall half-semester (quarter) courses are scheduled over the current 5-year calendar. As the schedule stands, every other year the two quarters of the fall semester will be unbalanced (with one meeting over around 22 class periods, and the other just 17), which is a problem. The EPC intends to bring this issue to the faculty as a whole (who have oversight of the calendar) in the spring, when other calendar issues are discussed.

 

  1. Electronic Teacher Evaluations

The EPC is nearing the end of its discussions on the trial results of two pilot programs on electronic teaching evaluations. A decision on whether or not to recommend a switch to these online evaluations should be forthcoming.

 

Sam: No change in policy on withdrawals; electronic teaching evaluations recommendations will be made

Becky: summer language institute target audience just Wes?

Sam: expectation is that 100 and something participants, most likely just college students, could be expanded to

Mike: does not deliver accurate representation of time at Wes.

Alec: summer language institute – no plans for financial aid, some questions of financial aid but does allow for wes credit

 

Organization and External Affairs

  1. Freeman Athletic Advisory Committee

The Freeman Athletic Advisory Committee met for the first time, with Morgan attending at the WSA rep.  This committee began last year with the goal of making a difference in the lives of the Wesleyan community. Priorities include communication, maintenance, security and safety, and equipment. The most exciting that we are currently working on is the EMS program. This is an online program that will allow the Wesleyan community to reserve spaces at Freeman. We also discussed better security and stricter regulations on card usage, better training for students at the monitor stations (front desk), and sustainability. 

 

  1. Director of Academic Computing and Digital Library Projects

Morgan and David are the WSA reps on the search committee for this position. They interviewed the first candidate this week.

 

  1. ITS Focus Group

David and Izaak met with the ITS Focus Group this week. More updates on that during the meeting.

 

  1. Social Committee

Emily, AJ, and Gianna met with Max Gardener, who is the chair of social committee, to discuss the basic budget and timeline for spring fling this year. It looks like social committee might be planning a winter carnival this year as well (which was a tradition up until three years ago), but this will NOT affect how much money they are allocated.

 

  1. Non-Technology Related Publicity Initiatives

OEAC brainstormed publicity ideas during our OEAC meeting this week and came up with a number of different ideas, including going door to door in the dorms, tabling in Usdan, putting signs up on the tables in the marketplace, putting suggestion boxes on the doors of WSA members in the dorms, going to snacks in the dorms, and collaborating with RA’s on programming. If anyone has any other ideas, please contact Emily.

 

  1. New York Times

As has already been discussed in this meeting, Sami and Robert have been hard at work on trying to come up with creative ideas to find funding for the Times Readership Program next year.

 

  1. WSA Technology Initiatives

A number of key WSA technology initiatives are finally beginning to come together! Vernon Thommeret from IMS came into our OEAC meeting to discuss the feasibility of a number of different WSA technology projects, including the Ride Board. Also, from Izaak: “I met with Pat Leone and we talked about the website.  Next week she is working on making 'quick-links' on the website.  Basically that will allow groups trying to get funding or be registered to click on that, and get linked to the pg. in their portfolio.  They will still have to sign in but it will be easier than the complicated instructions on there.  In more exciting news, a kind of rotating profile of the WSA member is definitely possible (based on the GLSP 'profile' at www.wesleyan.edu/glsp).  Other projects also sounded like possibilities.  The Ride Board is a bit more complicated.  ITS has put a simple one together (message board format) that I will be looking at on Thursday.  It will be tricky red tape to tell them that a flashier one is necessary.  So we need to talk about whether it's worth it to do that, or what. “

Natasha: What is winter carnival?

Emily: lump sum for spring fling and winter carnival as a fundraiser on campus. Probably Beckham hall.

 

FiFaC

  1. Major Maintenance

Major Maintenance is moving the four picnic tables from Davenport’s roof to the Summerfields patio, which makes a great place to install the Butterfields’ grills.  If these tables are widely used, more will be bought in the future. 

We continue to discuss the decrepit state of wood frames – but don’t worry, Physical Plant recognizes their uniqueness and importance to the Wesleyan community, and they will continue to be an important part of Wes senior housing for a very long time.  There are wood frame sell zones on the edges of campus, but all of these beds will be replaced.  Also, there are future plans to take down a few of the most decrepit/least efficient/least attractive houses and put in a few more prototypes.  Becky will have more specific information next week.

 

  1. Sustainability

President Roth has agreed to sign the President’s Climate Commitment!  Props to the efforts of the Sustainability Committee, EON, and to all those who signed the Wesleyan Community Climate Commitment.  The Sustainability Committee is currently working to get bioware for commencement.

 

  1. Molecular & Life Sciences Building:

Becky caught the tail end of the M&LS Building Committee meeting on Thursday.  The design for the building looks pretty cool, with lots of elements to keep it looking like just another rectangle.  The façade will be done in natural stone, and there will be a glass connector that will serve as a student space and will incorporate elements of an award-winning design used by Payette Associates at Amherst (don’t worry, it will still be distinctly Wes).

 

  1. Dining

·        At the last Dining Committee meeting, Bon Appetit presented us with a short list of Wesleyan dining needs and responses since the beginning of the year.  The list will be available at this week’s General Assembly Meeting.  We are still awaiting their complete lunch menu with prices, which should be ready in the next few weeks.

·        Trayless Tuesdays have been cancelled (not because of WSA complaints), but because the Dining Committee decided that since the goal of Trayless Tuesday is to get students to waste less, a campaign involving post-consumer waste training, with EON support, would be more effective (it’s been confirmed that not having to wash trays would not result in any substantial water, chemical, or energy savings).  This would involve the use of scales for students to weigh how much food they have wasted.  According to Delmar, at Wesleyan we waste about 6 oz. per person each day, more than any other school he has worked at, and throw away almost 20% of the total food offered by Bon Appetit.  The logistics of the campaign have not yet been worked out.

·        Labeling advertising discounts for bringing your own mug to Pi and own bag to Weshop should be up this week.  Bon Appetit is going to do a ‘movement report’ to keep track of the number of discounts given for a month before we decide if we want to change the discount system.  If you bring your own mug to Pi you will be charged based on the size of the mug (rather than automatically be charged for a large).

·        There is now a lighter fare breakfast combo available for $2.95 – choice of pastry/bagel/toast with fruit and coffee.

·        Hot water accessible to students should soon be available outside of the Café in Usdan.

·        There are always four cashiers in the Marketplace during lunch, with one of the four at the Marketplace entrance dealing with purely grab-and-go transactions to let those students get out more quickly.  Bon Appetit will analyze if this cashier is utilized enough for grab-and-go – if not, the last register will be opened inside the Marketplace to all students.

·        A Fall Dining Survey has been sent out via email to about 50% of the student body.  Usually this survey is only done in the spring, but in light of our new dining service they’ve decided to do one now too.  If you are asked to fill it out, please take the time to do so!

·        Becky has a list from Dean Rick of the events held at the Daniel Family Commons (the faculty dining area) during September of October.  If anyone is curious, feel free to ask to see the list.

 

Becky – Delmar: waste campaign. Work closely with Eon and probably a scale on the garbage cans.

David – is there a way to publish bon appetite information

Becky – will ask bon appetite about giving student body information.

Matt – keep building cool, clarify rectangular building

Becky – plans have been discussed. Rectangle figures on sides of stairs, glass M&LS Building Committee

 

 

Student Affairs Committee

  1. Undergraduate Residential Life Committee (URLC)

URLC met this week, and discussed possible changes to GRS, the common area damage policy, and methods for making desired housing more accessible, especially on Foss Hill.  Two possible options include removing frosh from the Nics and making one of the Butts all frosh, or removing some program space from Foss and relocating the programs to houses or other dorms.

 

  1. Student Life Committee

·        The SLC met this week and focused discussion on event policy.  The non-controversial side of the conversation is liability education, which has been prioritized for the committee.  The committee is investigating the plausibility of including liability training in the community standards workshop and the desirability of including a statement like the intellectual rights statement that woodframe residents must approve before signing into their EPortfolio.

·        The SLC also talked about political events policy.  The one viable legal solution put forward is to find a room that can be opened to candidates on a first-come, first-serve basis to candidates free of charge.  Although this is legal, objections have been raised due to logistical and fiscal concerns of the recommended policy.

·        The next SLC meeting will focus on cuts in the DOC budget.

 

  1. Housing Fines Appeal Board

The Appeals Board will meet this week.  The SAC is discussing possible “rule changes” to recommend, including warning policy and the roof access.  Fire safety began inspections and fines this week, but there have not yet been any appeals of fire safety fines.

 

  1. Other SAC Stuff

·        The SAC will investigate the plausibility of an overhaul of the nonacademic code of conduct.

·        Micah took on a personal project and secured the SAC@wesleyan.edu email address.  He also secured a database of students’ emails and dorm buildings to allow for targeted emails.

Sam: withdrawls. Suggestion change system to WG- withdrawal and in good standing; expectation that you withdrew because the student was; a lot of work for professors, don’t encourage withdrawing for courses.

 

Student Budget Committee

  1. SBC Weekly

A running total of the amount of requested from the SBC was kept during the meeting. This week it was under $20,000, as opposed to $35,000 the week before. This made it much easier to keep within the $13,000 weekly average the SBC must maintain to in order to stay within budget.

 

  1. Social Committee, Spring Fling

Gianna met with Emily and AJ of OEAC and Max Gardner of Social Committee to discuss this year's Spring Fling. By keeping in regular contact with the SBC and OEAC, it is hoped that Social Committee will be able to plan a successful Spring Fling without accruing a deficit like last year.

 

  1. Online System Benefits

The fruits of the labor of creating an online system were finally seen. With no tedious calculations at all, Barbara Spadaccini was able to use the online system to easily create the SBC budget report presented at this meeting.

 

9. Approval of Minutes from Last Week

 Unanimously approved.

10. New Business and Announcements

Emily: students to stay after regarding more

Alec: more bartenders,

Matt: talk to senior class officers

Matt: Everyone who came to the party thank you. two parties a semester. social justice day, stay after to talk. If you have an issue that you think would be good to publicize – wesleying, argus – let EC know.

Sam: EC stay after
