Senate Resolution No. 1 of the 27th Session INTRODUCED BY: Aaron Rosenthal, CSUN President WHEREAS, The fundamental responsibility of all citizens is to exercise their constitutional right to vote; and WHEREAS, in order to vote a citizen must be registered to vote; and WHEREAS, university students are historically under-enrolled voters; and WHEREAS, by providing more opportunities for individuals to register to vote, it is reasonable to believe an increase in registered voters will result; and WHEREAS, with greater enrollment and subsequent voter turn-out by any demographic group, it is reasonable to believe an increased diligence in the representation on issues relevant to that demographic group will result, LET IT HEREBY BE RECOMMENDED, by the Consolidated Students of the University of Nevada that the University and Community College System of Nevada be designated a special registrar of voters by the Nevada Secretary of State, Dean Heller. Furthermore, the institutions of the UCCSN should include in their mailings voter registration forms and make efforts to create other opportunities for residents of the State of Nevada to register to vote. Reference C Senate Resolution No. 2 of the 27th Session INTRODUCED BY: Aaron Rosenthal, CSUN President Joe Laxague, CSUN Senate President WHEREAS, It is the fundamental right of all American citizens who meet , minimum requirements to seek and hold public office; and WHEREAS, all matriculated members of the Consolidated Students of the University of Nevada have a similar right to seek and hold office as an elected official within student government; and WHEREAS, the student government of the Consolidated Students of the University of Nevada is a legal separate entity of the administration of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas by virtue of Nevada Revised Statute 396.547; and WHEREAS, it has been suggested in the past that being a Student Senator would not be acceptable, under certain circumstances, by UNLV administrators; and WHEREAS, a member of the Consolidated Students of the University of Nevada was made to decide between being a member of the Student Senate and sustaining a role with another campus entity, LET IT HEREBY BE RESOLVED, by the Consolidated Students of the University of Nevada, that the actions of any UNLV administrative unit thought to impede a student's right to seek and hold any elected office on campus will be viewed as an offensive assault on the CSUN Constitution and its Bylaws. Furthermore, such actions will be formally responded to by CSUN Student Government at the highest level necessary within the State of Nevada. Reference C Sir -o^/aiMiimiof Consensual Relationships Policy Draft The University of Nevada, Las Vegas' mission is to promote the personal and academic development of students. This mission is promoted by professionalism in relationships between members of the university community. It is the university's goal to create an environment conducive to learning where students, faculty, and staff trust and respect one another. The University of Nevada, Las Vegas prohibits romantic or sexual relationships between members of the university community when one of the individuals involved has direct professional influence or direct authority over the other. In that circumstance, both the university and the person in the position of influence are vulnerable toT charges of sexual harassment from the person in the position of lesser power and/or by third parties. Consensual relationships existing between individuals — neither of whom has direct professional influence or authority over the other — are not prohibited by this policy. Definition of direct professional power or direct authority A member of the university community is considered to have direct professional power or direct authority over another individual when he or she is in the position to do any of the following: — Supervise a student in any capacity, including evaluating any academic work, assigning grades, academic advising, personal counseling, or serving on thesis, dissertation, or scholarship committees; — Influence a student's employment, graduate assistantship, housing, participation in athletics or any other University activity; — Supervise and/or evaluate the work performance of a member of the faculty or professional or classified staff; — Recommend or award merit or promotions to a member of the faculty or professional or classified staff; — Serve on promotion or tenure committees. Sanctions When a romantic or sexual relationship exists, both parties involved may be subject to disciplinary action. However, the person in the position of power or authority over the other will bear a greater degree of accountability. Consequently, to avoid disciplinary action, this person should at the beginning of such a relationship report its existence to his or her supervisor. Once the university administration learns of a romantic or sexual relationship, whether through self-reporting or otherwise, it will take immediate steps to eliminate the power or authority of the one individual over the other. This may be accomplished by reassigning duties or responsibilities or requiring withdrawal Reference A from a committee. If the individuals involved fail to comply with this policy, or if the relationship is not self-reported, the university may impose one or more of the sanctions available through its disciplinary procedures, as outlined in the UCCSN Code (for faculty and professional staff), the Nevada Administrative Code (for classified staff), or the UNLV Student Conduct Code (for students). Groundless or Malicious Charges Persons bringing groundless or malicious charges under this policy are subject to disciplinary action for personal misconduct under the appropriate faculty/staff personnel policies or the Student Conduct Code. Approved by the Task Force on Campus Culture, Equity, and Environment, 4-30-96 ( consensu. 496 Reference A Rationale for Development of a Consensual Relationships Policy Prepared by the UNLV Subcommittee on the Status of Women April 24, 1996 Background The current policy draft you are considering has been in development for more than three years. The UNLV Subcommittee on the Status of Women has had considerable discussion about it. This version was approved by the subcommittee in March 1995. Delays in advancing the policy have been the result of the major changes in the UNLV administration over the course of the past year. This draft comes to you now after review (and a few minor changes) by the Provost's Office. It has also been approved by the University Counsel. We recognize that such a policy is bound to generate some controversy on our campus; similar policies certainly have done so on other campuses throughout the country. For that reason, we have prepared the following pro/con statement in the hope that it will streamline our discussions. There may well be other arguments in favor of or opposition to this policy, but the ones we have encountered or have discovered through our research of the subject thus far seem to fall into the following categories. Pros: 1. Such relationships are unethical and should therefore be prohibited. Such romantic relationships are inappropriate and unethical. They involve inherent conflicts of interest and imperil the academic integrity of the university. Some would argue that there is no such thing as a "consensual relationship" between two people of unequal power; even if they are ostensibly consensual, such relationships are exploitative and always involve an element of power. And, since not all members of the university community may agree with or understand this concept, it is the university's responsibility to make it absolutely clear that such relationships will not be tolerated. 2. Such relationships often lead to sexual harassment complaints. Some of the most egregious sexual harassment cases on campuses have been the result of faculty/student relationships gone sour. If the faculty member is the one rejected when the relationship ends, s/he can use the power of position to make life very difficult for the student. If the student is rejected, s/he can claim that the relationship was not consensual from the start. (However, even consent is not necessarily a defense against a sexual harassment or discrimination complaint.) Also, third party sexual harassment complaints can result when other students in a class witness one student receiving special treatment. These scenarios can also occur in the work environment involving relationships between supervisors and employees. 3. Without such a policy, the university is legally vulnerable. Reference A Laws regarding sexual harassment continue to place increasing responsibility on the employer for prevention of sexual harassment. Employers are now being held responsible in cases in which the courts find that they should have known about a sexual harassment situation. And, since many sexual harassment cases result from romantic relationships between those in positions of unequal power, a policy prohibiting such relationships should prevent at least some sexual harassment cases. 4. Prohibition of such relationships is necessary. Some would suggest that the university should discourage — rather than prohibit — such relationships. However, without a policy prohibiting such relationships, the university cannot intervene in situations in which someone is clearly abusing the power of his/her position in such a relationship. If the university does not want these types of relationships to occur, then it should take a clear, definite position and not sidestep the issue because it is a difficult one. 5. The policy doesn't prohibit the relationship, just the power arrangement. This policy doesn't prevent the relationship from continuing, just the unequal power situation. If two people find themselves in such a relationship and they want to continue it, the person in the position of greater power must simply change the circumstances of their professional or academic relationship. By reporting the situation and accepting a reassignment of duties, the relationship can continue. Also, though it is stated in the actual policy, it should be emphasized that this policy does not affect consensual relationships in which neither of the individuals involved has direct power or authority over the other. Cong: 1. A university should not attempt to legislate morality. The university has no right to tell its faculty, staf£ or students what their moral standards should be or how to apply them in their personal lives. All of the individuals on a university campus are adults and should be treated with enough respect as to allow them to handle such delicate personal matters on their own within their own ethical framework. If the university steps into the role of parent, members of the university community will resent it. 2. Such a policy is intrusive. The university has no right to intrude upon the personal decisions of its faculty, stafl^ or students. Romantic relationships are extremely private matters; requiring individuals to report the status of those relationships could be embarrassing, even damaging, to some individuals. 3. The university should discourage, not prohibit, such relationships. Reference A The university is an institution that values education; as such, it would seem more appropriate for the university to educate the campus about the problems that can result from such relationships rather than prohibit them. 4. The university already has a policy prohibiting sexual harassment. While it might be true that such relationships can lead to sexual harassment, when the situation does become sexual harassment, the university already has a policy to deal with it. A consensual relationships policy intercedes too early; it is possible that such relationships could exist without ever becoming problematic. As evidence of this, note that there are many married couples on campus who met in the classroom situation when one was the professor and the other, a student. Reference A CSUN President's Advisory Council PURPOSE This document describes the composition and function of the President's Advisory Council in CSUN Student Government. The President's Advisory Council will be a board chaired by the President with members who are chairs of their respective committees. These chairs meet with the President in council meetings so to report the information and concerns gathered by their committees. It is the job of the President to report progress made on current student issues of concern. The committees are composed of student members and some administrators/faculty who could give resourceful insight into the questions which may arise in committee meetings. The sole purpose of the committees is to provide a forum for students to discuss issues facing them and communicate those issues to the leadership of Student Government. The issues discussed in committee will be presented by the chair in the Presidential Advisory Council meeting. It is the intent of establishing this Council to enlarge the student voice within CSUN given that the CSUN President and other officers are not fully knowledgable on all issues relating to every student. The Council will be a resource for the President to solicit input from students-at-large concerning various issues. Each committee will be chaired by a person recommended by the President and approved by the Executive Board. The members will be recommended by any CSUN officer or official and approved by the Executive Board. Each committee will have as a member one CSUN Senator who will be nominated and approved by the Senate. Initially, the committee chairs will be responsible for working with the President in developing a mission statement and member structure for each committee. Committee meetings will be held monthly and are the sole responsibility of the Chair. The CSUN President may remove a chair at any time. Further the CSUN President will chair the Advisory Council meeting where the chairs of the committees will meet. The Council, in addition to the committee chairs, will have the CSUN Vice President as a member and Vice Chair. For clarity, the Presidential Advisory Council and its committees will not be granted any legislative power within Student Government, and it is the responsibility of the CSUN President to develop and proceed with initiatives created in the council and committee meetings. Once established, the council and committees will exist perpetually with the goal of being written into the CSUN bylaws.

Further similar complaints during the probation period will be grounds for immediate dismissal. ACCOUNTABILITY Current schedules will be posted at all times for receptionists. If a receptionist fails to arrive for a scheduled shift, it is the responsibility of the President or designated supervisor to seek a replacement for the shift. If a replacement can not be found, then the office Management Assistant will monitor the front desk area and assume all receptionist duties. Hours will be logged at the beginning and end of each shift, and at the end of the week they will be submitted to the CSUN Management Assistant. It will be the responsibility of the Management Assistant to process employment documents, payroll, and other paperwork pertaining to all employees. Paychecks will be available from the CSUN President. Reference B STUDENT SENATE MEETING 27-03 MINUTES Monday, November 25,1996 Moyer Student Union Room 201 6:30p.m. I.
