i. Informational Item

ii. Discussion Item

1. Health Advisory Information – Brittany Holmes

2. Immigration Reform Resolution Proposal

a. 6:50 p.m.

b. SG opinions on immigration reform in the wake of CI Dem resolution proposal

c. Sanders: it’s not SG’s place to take a position on issues such as this. Too bipartisan, etc. Campus community may have a stance, but not SG.

d. Wurtz: CI Dem resolution was very broad regarding which aspects of immigration reform it supported, too broad to remain nonpartisan.

e. Bahena: other CI Dem members across the CSU were not aware of the resolution, so it was not a CI Dem resolution, merely CI’s CI Dems.

f. Law: there should be no stance from SG on this resolution, but it should be made known that SG will represent its students.

g. Wurtz: clarifying that SG’s name was placed on the resolution despite lack of discussion and approval.

h. Bahena: explains difference between this resolution and the Marriage Equality Initiative. One was formal and approved (MEI) and one was not (IR).

i. Apambire: it’s a federal issue, there is not much that SG can do to change that issue. How successful was the event and the overall reception? Can we open this discussion next week when everyone is present (at the Senate meeting)

j. Bahena: we will not be taking a stance on this issue, but we will be here to support our students.

k. Apambire: what is the history of resolutions on campus and what is SG’s process of drafting/passing a resolution?Griffin provides several examples

l. Bahena: taking a stance on this issue would alienate a sector of our student population.

m. Baker: why did MEI receive support from SG but not IR? Bahena explains reasoning.

n. Salim (public forum): states that AB540 is not a federal issue, but a state issue.

o. Sanders: what is the process of releasing a Presidential statement?

p. Baker: isn’t the reality that we are supporting both partys? Dems and CIR need to understand that we are supporting both, not simply rejecting both.

q. Bahena: Don’t be afraid to take a stance. Just make sure that, if you do take a stance, you actually do something about it.

iii. Presentations

iv. Action Item

1. Bylaw Revisions – Vanessa Bahena

-6:24 p.m.

-Omitting section from DoC so that the role of communicating with CI student body should be a responsibility of all SG members.

-Wurtz yields time to Salim (public forum): should add to general position description for SG.

-Wurtz suggests striking that section from that particular position description and added to the Code of Ethics.

-Law suggests adding a “disclaimer” to the position description so that those applying know that it is a social-media centred position.

-Sanders suggests that “Director of Recruitment and Retention” be changed to “Director of Student Organisation Outreach.” Should be changed to something more indicative of campus affairs. Apambire agrees. “Director of Recruitment and Retention” changed to “Director of Campus Affairs.” Baker questions when these changes will be put into effect. Bahena: immediately. Delong suggests changing “Director of Campus Affairs” to “Director of Student Outreach.” Suggestion is accepted and change is made. Position description is modified to encompass broad outreach goals.

-Bahena suggests Director of Finance position is removed. All agree.

-Bahena suggests changing “External Affairs Committee” to “Lobby Corps.” Position description is modified to replace EAC with Lobby Corp in all instances mentioned.
