Josh One thing i found helpful to say is to say “we are in NYC” Carlo In the case that there is a student with the virus, the public health department would take over. Person will be isolated Due to privacy laws, no person would be outed as someone with coronavirus As we learn more and more about the virus, it is similar to the flu (need close-contact, prolonged exposure) There’s no coronavirus in NYC Personally pushing out personal hygiene announcements Josh We are expecting a case in NY soonPractice self-care Updates from Marc WaisUniversity will keep us informed about any events regarding the coronavirus Meeting on Food insecurity Data on Courtesy Meals2310 unique students that have accessed courtesy meals since September, 3267 uses2211 last yearMLK week is this week, the marquee event is tonight.

There is a forwarding system if needed. We aren’t looking at every direct message that will be going out. Bylaws feedback Nicky Per our conversation from SGA, there is an amendment to change the election of the Chair of SGA. If it wasn’t presented then, there would be no way to implement this year. Wasn’t meant to blind-side folks. One idea was to set aside a SaL position for the SGA Chair to adhere to SGA bylaws. Discussion in Org & Gov and Office of General Counsel, and that was the compromiseThere are different ways to approach this. You can pass a resolution to the U-Senate, but it is a longer process. Genuinely, believes that engagement would increaseGhania is opening the committee to outside members Jesse Want to thank everyone that was in the process with bylawsShares Nicky’s sentiments Org & Gov unanimously passed this in the committeeThese are contentious ideas, we are open to hearing compromises Question from Karen:How many people are in Org & Gov?5Question from Flo What is the timeline? How are these friendly amendments going to be presented to the body?
