Meeting minutes for Consolidated Student Senate, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, February 05, 2001

STATE OF THE CAMPUS ADDRESS Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen. Tonight I have the pleasure of delivering my Spring Semester Campus Address. Tonight's speech will be contained within three main areas of topic which I will present tonight to the CSUN Senate. A partner with the administration and as an active player in the direction of the university, there has been three objectives that have been the driving force of CSUN within the last year and should become a reoccurring theme, in CSUN Student Government. These themes are: Becoming More Student Focused, Provide a Service-Oriented, Responsive, Accountable Leadership, and Communicate and Collaborate More Effectively Internally Becoming More Student Focused. All members of the student government will focus on and be committed to the undergraduate student needs and development; they will place these students at the center of what they do and how they think, thereby creating a true collegiate community within which student government can assist in creating a positive collegiate experience. Provide a Service-Oriented, Responsive, Accountable Leadership Student Government will abide by its administrative operations and structures that further C SUN's goals and provide service-oriented, responsive interactions in support of the undergraduate student's campus experience. Communicate and Collaborate More Effectively Internally Student Government will develop effective internal communication strategies and collaborative endeavors within its different branches of operation, in order to best serve the needs of its undergraduate population. These three objectives are inline with the University's Mission of becoming more student centered and therefore, CSUN needs to become student focused, as we are selves are students. From these three objectives, there arises three characteristics that should be the guiding force in CSUN Student Government Internal Operations. These three characteristics are accessibility, attitude, and accountability. Accessibility .1 Accessibility is the first in building a strong line of internal communication. By / providing access to one another in CSUN and to our constituents, then we can better serve our students. It is important tfygjt we are there to support one another and work as a team. Attitude As a department that is designed to work with students, it is important to remember the CSUN motto, "Students Serving Students." Remember, the people that you are dealing with is the reason why CSUN exists. Their fees allow us to operate. No student is ever a problem and should never be treated with disrespect. If a student takes the initiative to come to CSUN for a service, that it is our job to provide that service with a positive attitude. The Student is the most important person in CSUN. Accountability: Each position exists for a reason. Everyone here is important and the job that they do effects the entire operation of CSUN. No task is a waste and no idea is dull-witted. It is important for each of us to remember that we count on each other to work on projects and to provide input on group activities. CSUN is not about one person, its about what we as a group can accomplish for our fellow students. Therefore, I challenge everyone to transmit to those leaders who may follow after us, with higher standards, more dedication, and motivation then it given to us by our previous student leaders and to set the standard that lays before us higher for our future students, whom will work in these office, this place of learning, this place of student representation. We are CSUN Student Government and be proud of what we are doing for our university and our fellow students. Thank you. University of N e v a d a ^ f ^ ^ S r h .

Move into a vote on the amendment (21-0-0) Amendment Passes Discussion on item as a whole: SENATOR POWELL moved to insert DIRECTOR WAINSCOT'S proposal seconded by SENATOR DUNNING. " III. Campaigning F. Campaigning with a website is permitted with the following Constraints: 1. Website may only be up during official campaigning 2. Website may not contain any links to or from the site. 3. Web site will be monitored by elections board for appropriate content. 4. All material posted on a website must directly pertain to that candidate's campaign. 5. Any expenditures or donations made to design/obtain web site must be included with campaign expenditures. IX. Fines 17. Any candidate who uses e-mail to campaign to persons unknown to the candidate or violates web site regulations will be fined fifty percent (50%) of their initial filing fee, per offense" Discussion on item as a whole SENATOR DILORENZO asked what Item F. Line 2 meant SENATOR POWELL said to and from other web sites SENATOR HOMAMPOUR said if you visit a web site, you are taking the incentive to get information about that candidate. I have been emailing Presidents around the country, and getting information. The UNR campus allows web campaigning. The internet is a strong tool. Yield the floor to Phil Burns. Phil Burns believes UNLV is a commuter campus. It is his experience that the vast majority of the student utilize the web. We are creating better access to our students. I urge CSUN to help commuter students. To remove the web site, doesn't seem to be a wise decision. SENATOR SALSAA states that PRESIDENT MORADKHAN also talked to the UNR President. This proposal by Holly is similar to how they are doing it at Reno I have no problem with this. Yield the floor to PRESIDENT MORADKHAN. PRESIDENT MORADKHAN spoke to the President at UNR. They tired it out last year. The link available has to be the one listed on the flyer. SENATOR SALS AA this helps out because you cant talk to everyone during campaigning. SENATOR POWELL says he wants to increase the access to students. SENATOR FAUSKE is torn with this. We have to factor in that a lot of students are commuter students. Also, students do not have the same knowledge of computers. IT is an unfair advantage. With no computers during campaigning, candidates have to rely on their speaking skills. People might be able to win due to defaulting. You can trace copies and receipts. It will be hard to trace money and expenditures with computers. SENATOR BOWERS questioned the web site only being up during campaigning. Instead of candidates campaigning, they will be in the computer lab taking down his or her web site. SENATOR GEFFEN asked if the filing fee was a fifty percent increase. Yield the floor to Holly Wainscott WAINSCOTT said everything in the packet is amended from last week. SENATOR GEFFEN believes people are not afraid of losing fifty percent of their filing fees. Disqualification is better. People aren't afaird in losing their money. SENATOR ALTMAN said computers can cause problems and disadvantages. SENATOR DAYANI asked since flyers have to approved ahead of time, how are they web sites going to be approved. Yield the floor to Holly WAINSCOTT said the elections board will bee the address of all the sites. SENATOR DAYANI said they web sites will already be up then. SENATOR HOMAMPOUR said the web sties can be saved on to a desk, and then uploaded from there. You don't need to put it on the internet to show the elections board. SENATOR DUNNING yields the floor to PRESIDENT MORADKHAN. PRESIDENT MORADKHAN says that Reno allows web sites for more than the two days of campaigning, it's the whole two months. SENATOR DUNNING believes that taking down and putting up the web site isn't fair. People don't care if flyers are left up in the classroom. SENATOR WILLIAMS asked what official campaigning meant SENATE PRESIDENT DAVY said not just the election days, but the whole period. DAVY stated that the debate on the amendment is over. Move into a vote on the amendment: (10- 10-1) Oppose SENATORS WOODSON, MACDONALD, FAUSKE, DAYANI, GEFFEN, CHASIN, MARTINEZ, DUNNING, MORADKHAN ,HUGHES Abstain: SENATOR BOWERS SENATORS BOWERS said she voted no on the packet as a whole because we spent 10 minutes talking about the amendment. It had nothing to do with the Internet. SENATOR SALSAA wants to amend the amendment. Lets make it more specific. Like what web sits can be used (i.e., yahoo) SENATOR HOMAMPOUR voted no because people who are in graphic design can do a better job than those we aren't. SENATOR WILLIAMS states as time goes by, the future is relying on information. Those who have the information, have the power. Change is what will save everything. SENATE PRO TEMPORE MORADKHAN brought up the fact that a web site previously came to CSUN a while ago. We failed the item in the senate because of the possibility of students reaching into the web site. IF it happened with the fbi, it can happen to CSUN. Also, how do we rate the fair market value? SENATOR FAUSKE as time goes by, one thing remains the same, if you have an idea, do not wait until the last two days to present it. EF you want something , start early. Present it to Holly ahead of time so she can make the necessary steps. SENATOR DILORENZO says taking down a web site takes only minutes. You can print out what is on your web site, and the elections board can randomly go to those sits. SENATOR MARTINEZ says it is just as easy to put something on as to take it off. Items can be randomly put on the web sites. Things can be changed very easily. SENATOR AOKI believes that we should pass this. This is a heated topic. We need to pass it so the next senate can find the loopholes. SENATOR DUNNING asked do we have people watching to see if people take down flyers? This is the same thing. SENATOR MACDONALD if I want to make a new flyer, than I have to get that flyer approved? How does this work with the web sites? SENATOR BOWERS says make a new amendment or stop talking. Unless me have another amendment, we are arguing for nothing. Let's get to the packet as a whole. SENATOR DFLORENZO move to amend item F, section 3 by inserting" randomly" after content and striking "the site" for section 2 and inserting" other sites" seconded by SENATOR HOMAMPOUR. Move into a vote on the amendment (12-9-0) (SENATORS WOODSON, FAUSKE, MACDONALD, DAYANI, GEFFEN, CHASIN, MARTINEZ, BOWERS, AND MORADKHAN oppose) Motion carries Discussion on the item as a whole; SENATOR DAYANI said there is already SENATE PRESIDENT DAVY said it will Move into a vote (21-0-0) Motion passes SENATE PRESIDENT DAVY called a recess at 6:45 pm SENATE PRESIDENT DAVY calls the meeting back to order at 6:52 pm D. Action Item: Discussion/Approval of contract between Board of Regents and Student Advantage for a promotional campus tour. As submitted by Senator Bowers. SENATOR HOMAMPOUR moved to approve, seconded by SENATOR SALSAA. Move into a vote on the item as whole (20-0-1) SENATOR POWELL abstains Motion passes a section 3f in the packet, change. X.

It was great You should check it out next year. It will make you a better leader. If you are confused, just ask. No one will get mad at you. Bylaws committee meeting is coming up. I'm glad that I can make a web site, but there are certain reasons why. Come and talk to me and ask me. I think more senators need to spend office hours together. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE MORADKHAN: Office hours are posted. If there are a change in hours, please come and see me. check boxes on Wed and read your agendas.
