-Guest: Provost
Guests: David Gardner, Sarah Niebart, Noah Schneider
Noah, David and Sarah presented a proposal for a new shared governance committee on Civic Engagement. ASEC made several suggestions for changes to the charge of this committee. ASEC was generally supportive of the proposal with some changes.
The students also talked about the Greek Recruitment Advisory Committee and felt that this committee was formed in violation of State Statutes Chapter 36. There was a discussion about operational committees vs shared governance committees. The next steps for the students is to meet with Legal Services and send a letter to the Chancellor. This matter could be appealed to the Board of Regents.
