Club Introduction

1.

Club has been established through Recreation and Intermural Sports and although it is in their first semester. During the startup, the club has gained a large amount of notoriety, but need assistance in expanding and funding their organization.

2.

Although the club plans to hold fundraisers, their ambitions exceed what can be done given their small initial budget.

Questions from Senate

1.

“Have you had any exhibitions with other schools?”

a.

2.

“What does SGA recognition mean to you?”

a.

3.

Answer: Growing the club to feature its rising demand will be much easier with the help of SGA

“How many members are in the club?”

a.

4

Answer: Since the club is still building and acquiring supplies, they have not yet scrimmaged with other schools. However, they hope to in the future.

Answer: 50 on the email list, 20 regular attendees, ten additional members who occasionally attend.

4.

b.

There have been four (4) meetings of the club thus far

c.

Most members are either in freshman or junior standing

Deliberation on Behalf of Badminton Club

a.

b.

Speaker One in Favor of Club

i.

There is no badminton club on campus, and since the attendance is large and constantly growing, this club is a good investment.

ii.

At the time, the club only has six (6) rackets, which is only half of the equipment that is needed, so this could be addressed and changed through SGA

Speaker One Against Club

i.

c.

Speaker Two in Favor of Club

i.

d.

With a vote of 16:0:1, the Hofstra Badminton Club will not be recognized by Student Government Association

Recognition for ASME

1.

2.

Club Introduction

a.

Club wishes to educate students about various programs and software to help them in their engineering pursuits. Club wishes to utilize the new labs within the Engineering school to further this goal.

b.

Eventually, the club wishes to visit national competitions and further network with other engineers; since the club is part of a national organization, the instilling of the club will help with engineering students as well as the university.

c.

In the long run, the club would like to collaborate with other STEM clubs on campus to hold events throughout campus that are currently being produced through the Computer Science clubs.

Questions for ASME

a.

5

Club should consider tabling in the student center atrium as opposed to seeking funding via SGA

Vote to Recognize Badminton Club

a. iii.

Club has actually thoughts of innovative and creative fundraisers.

So expansion is definitely possible; Club attendance is particularly strong amongst new clubs

Speaker Two Against Club

i.

5.

Club has only met four (4) times, and is unsure of how they exactly plan to fundraise. This should be taken into account as recognition is discussed.

“What does SGA recognition mean to you?�

i.

Answer: Club currently feels restricted, and wishes to expand themselves more through SGA, particularly through advertising.

1. b.

“How long have you been OSLE recognized?”

i. c.

4.

a.

Motion seconded

b.

Motion passed

Additional Questions “What makes your club unique?”

i.

b.

Answer: Club members visited some members this past evening, and contacts are very close within the organization as it is.

Motion to extend questioning for two (2) more minutes

a.

Motion seconded

b.

Motion passed

Additional Questions:

a.

“What is the difference between your club and the Computer Science clubs?”

i. b.

c.

Answer: While computer experts program materials, ASME’s job is to build these materials

“How many meetings have you had thus far?”

i.

6

Answer: No other clubs focus solely on the practice of mechanical engineers, particularly within the field of robotics, which is the aim of ASME

“How are relations with the ASME Long Island chapter?”

i.

6.

Answer: ASME is a national club, so Long Island chapter associates hold monthly lectures throughout the island, and hopefully eventually through Hofstra.

Motion to extend questioning minutes for two (2) more minutes

a.

5.

Answer: since spring 2015

“What events do you plan to hold to further spread the word of this club?

i.

3.

Club does not wish for the club to be solely for engineering students, which is currently the status.

Answer: Three meetings have taken place this semester for general members; budgets have been sent to SGA this past week

“What are your class standings”

i.

7.

Deliberation on Behalf of ASME

a.

Speaker One in Favor of ASME

i. b.

c.

d.

i.

This club is everything that SGA-recognized clubs should be: the club is organized and hands-on, and the communications with Nationals and readily available storage space is beneficial to a successful club.

ii.

Club is already proficient at collaborating with other clubs

Speaker Two Against ASME Club would be costly for SGA appropriations; potential projects could be controversial given current events

Vote to Recognize ASME

a.

With a vote of 16:1:0, ASME will be recognized by SGA

S.A.2016.80.002: Resolution surrounding Resolution on Smoking Ban on Campus

1.

Questions regarding Senatorial Action

a.

“How do you feel that enforcing the current smoking ban will benefit the south side of campus?”

i. b.

c.

Answer: Monetary fines and summons for both students and faculty will be given

“How will fines be enforced amongst faculty?”

i.

2.

Answer: This is of no opinion of SGA, but rather simply a resolution which will be brought to the university

“What does stricter enforcement entail?”

i.

7

Why did it take this long for this club to ask for SGA recognition, given they have been OSLE recognized for over a year; speaker believes that there are too many clubs within the field of engineering on campus.

Speaker Two in Favor of ASME

i.

iv.

Since the club is nationally recognized, this club could bring very positive light to the Hofstra engineering community

Speaker One Against ASME

i.

8.

Answer: Both representatives are of junior standing

Answer: This, similarly, is not a question for SGA to discuss or predict. Administration will be handling the furthering of this process.

Motion to strike the second series of resolutions, beginning with, “let it also be resolved…”

3.

a.

Motion seconded

b.

Motion passed

Discussion surrounding Senatorial Action

a.

b.

Speaker One in Favor of Passing SA

i.

As the voice of the students, SGA is simply relaying the majority opinions that were found through the SGA at the Corner surveys.

ii.

Since the information found is congruent with the university mandates, this should continue to be enforced.

Speaker One Against Passing SA

i. c.

Speaker Two in Favor of Passing SA

i.

4.

With a vote of 16:0:0, SA.2016.80.002 has passed.

3.

4.

8

As liaisons between the students and faculty, SGA should support this resolution on behalf of both parties

SGA Meeting with Vice President for Facilities and Operations, Joseph Barkwill March 23rd, 2016 3:00pm-6:00pm Executive Summary: During this meeting, SGA President Guarino presented the results of Student Appreciation Week with VP Joseph Barkwill, sharing student concerns and feedback.

Most of the concerns discussed were about residence hall renovations, as well as campus dining.

Follow up Required: -VP Barkwill will talk to VP Houston to see if 1 or 2 students from SGA could be involved in the team of students that are put together for the Request for Proposal process.

-VP Barkwill will talk to Campus Dining about the possibility of bringing in another vendor to replace Sbarros -VP Barkwill will look into if we can create a GPS application tot rack the campus shuttle, like we do for the night shuttle -VP Barkwill will look into more lighting on oak street towards the Netherlands -VP Barkwill will research the feasibility of Shower doors in the towers for more privacy -VP Barkwill will get back to SGA President Guarino to see if meal plan swipes can be made to work with the on campus vending machines -SGA will bring a “one-pager” to the next dining meeting on Wednesday April 6 th with some ideas for changes that can be made as well as give them the dining section of the Student Appreciation Week Feedback -SGA President Guarino will reach out to VP Bob J to discuss if there are plans to get any additional printing stations on campus (esp. in C-square).

Concerns about Campus Dining -Hofstra will be putting out a Request for Proposal by the end of the calendar year and has a chance to edit contract terms (including types of food served, and hours of operations, etc.)

Hofstra will release a proposal for bid to the top campus food providers and the process typically takes 1-2 months.

-A team of 5 students will be created to be a part of the process (this includes touring other campuses to try their food as well as ask their students about their experience with that food vendor). The students will be involved with the site tours, and interviews in order to provide feedback to aid in the process.

-Joe Barkwill will talk to Houston about having 1 or 2 students from SGA’s Student services committee be a part of the student team.

History: During the last RFP, Hofstra included a bid for an “all you can eat” option but found out in order for that to happen, it would need to be in the Netherlands because the companies are unable to mix the “all you can eat” area with the “per meal swipe” access area. Because of that, 36

Hofstra chose to not do the “all you can eat” option due to the constraints in dining facilities. In addition, the “all you can eat” option provided less choices for food and less variety.

-Joe Barkwill mentioned that he is always looking at different options to change the food up because he recognizes students get bored of the same food options. Dining is always looking for suggestions and feedback. Joe has been meeting with dining and pressing “good professional service”.

Concerns about Parking -Some ideas that were discussed was having parking students need to pay for on the south campus, and encouraging resident students to park on North Campus and take a shuttle to south.

-Another idea was to have the freshman move to the parking lot by HofUSA, as opposed to parking in front of Stuveysant and bill of rights - because that is prime parking location and a lot of the first years don’t move their car very often. This would free up parking near the student center. We could also make the area by the student center commuter parking only during Monday-Friday.

-Question for elections: To help with the parking situation on south campus (academic side), would you be willing to ban residential parking on south campus Monday-Friday between the hours of 8am-5pm?

-Question for elections: Do you support the idea of making it mandatory that first-year residential students with cars park their cars in the parking lot by HofUSA (or some other location), in order to open up more commuter parking around the Student Center (near Stuyvesant and Bill of Rights)?

Concerns about Residence Halls -Residential buildings build in the future will be apartment style suites.

-Bathroom upgrades include vanities, tiles, electric hand dryers, lighting, fixtures for showers, paint, etc.

Already Renovated -Alliance Bathrooms -Alliance Elevators -Enterprise Elevators -Bill of Rights Elevators -Constitution Elevators -Netherlands South (including bathrooms, all new furniture, new HVAC units, lounges, kitchens, etc.)

-4 houses in the center of C-Square (10 left to renovate) This summer (Summer 2016) -Vanderpoel Bathrooms 37

-Vanderpoel Elevators -Netherlands North 6 townhouses (including bathrooms, all new furniture, new HVAC units, lounges, kitchens, etc.)

Summer 2017 Renovations -Finish renovations of all elevators -Estabrook Bathrooms -Estabrook Elevators -5 houses in C-square- either far east or west (including hydration stations) Summer 2018 Renovations -Remaining 5 C-square houses (including hydration stations).

Still Need to do: Enterprise Bathrooms Constitution Bathrooms 4 houses in the center of C-Square (adding filtration stations only) Bill of Rights Bathrooms HVAC Concerns Towers and Netherlands can only have hot or cold – there are requirements for seasonal temperatures (below 55 degrees in the evening). It takes about 10 mechanics a day to switch over. It is not a simple process – and it includes things like switching pumps, draining the systems, etc. There are things like water chemistry that need to be taken into effect. It can’t just be switched on and off. Plant monitors temperature and tries to turn heat and air on only when there is a pattern of the temperature staying very high or low for a long period of time.

The hallway units can switch over separate from the room units (for example air conditioning in the hallway but not in the room yet).

Nassau Suffolk, C-Square and Stuyvesant have electric units (don’t involve water) so they can control the temperature.

Other/ Misc. Concerns Feedback: Student wanted an option for a bus from Hofstra to the City Response: Last year Hofstra brought the 7-bus to campus but the feedback from students was that it wasn’t reliable because of traffic. Students couldn’t get into the city by a reliable time because traffic was too unpredictable and students preferred to take the train because they found it more reliable.

Feedback: Students want filtration Stations in C-Square

38

Response: There are plans to put filtration stations in the upcoming renovations for the 10 houses that haven’t been renovated yet, and then Hofstra will go back and put them into the 4 that have been renovated already.

Feedback: Sprinklers water the sidewalks and are on even when it’s raining?

Response: When this happens, tell students to call it into plant during the day, and public safety at night. If the sprinklers are going off at an off time – sometimes the system can be reset. If they are not pointing to the grass and are watering the sidewalk, call it in – sometimes they can be hit and moved. They should be on the grass. The field hockey field is watered because it’s AstroTurf and the water helps make it so the ball doesn’t bounce. Even though we do get rain, it isn’t always enough to saturate the ground and some of the vegetation we have need more water.

Ideas for the area by lib/rep: (talk to Student Affairs about this – can make a question for elections about what option students would like to see most, volleyball court or sustainable park or active park, etc.)

-Skaters idea: too much risk -Farm or organic area to grow food: Students aren’t here in the summer when they need to be here for it to be successful -Volleyball court (an option but would need to talk about who would be maintaining it) -Sustainable park including a meeting area, gazebo, seating, environmentally friendly (an option) -Swing set or active park (option but would need to consider the kids that have access to use the park, would need to make it accessible to them as well)

39

Food Committee Meeting Feedback: The Student Government Association polled 1,038 students about their dining experience, and we are using those results to bring 15 recommendations to campus dining. We appreciate you taking the time to hear our feedback, and we hope that we can continue to provide feedback for the future. Not many students know about the food committee meetings that are held, (the results show that of the 1,038 students polled only 29% of the students knew about the meetings). We encourage campus dining to promote the meetings more to the student body through social media and through flyers on campus. We appreciate the opportunity you’ve provided to the students to provide feedback to you, and as SGA fulfills its purpose and mission to advocate for the student body – we will continue to attend these meetings with on-going feedback.

Overall things that students like: -The Kiosk Stations (great feedback!) It allowed students to place an order and go find seating or socialize elsewhere before picking up food, without having to wait in line the entire time.

-The emphasis on the variety of food throughout the week -The pasta station as an option all of the time Overall things students would like to see improved: -The efficiency of the staff and work flow at the grilled station in the student center (typical meal takes at least 20 minutes to get food, esp. around dinner time and sometimes the food can just be sitting there without anyone calling the number or saying it’s ready) -SBarros (are there any other places that campus dining can work with so that Hofstra can bring in a new venue?)

-Not enough Gluten Free Options (there are some, but for someone whose entire diet needs to be gluten free, there isn’t much variety in the choices that are offered) -Not enough healthy, vegan, or vegetarian options -The containers at HofUSA were changed to be thinner plastic but students have said they are not heat resistant (students getting brownie Sundays and other hot food items have reported the container melts) 1. Add labels to food that explain what is in the food (for students with allergies, it isn’t always easy to tell what’s in the food and the staff doesn’t always know) 2. Less plastic containers – more “sustainable” containers that produce less waste 3. Add different sized containers (small, medium and large) at the pasta stations so students can have more control over portion size and price 4. Add a Kiosk Station to Bits and Bytes 5. Healthier Food Options (especially at night, including HofUSA) 6. More Vegan/ Vegetarian Options (as well as promote current options more) 7. Cucumber Water in Student Center 8. Eggs/ omelets served all day (esp. on weekends) 9. Open Bits and Bytes Longer 10. Extend Student Center Dining Hours until 10:00pm and open before 10:00am on Sunday 11. More gluten free food options 40

12. More Grilled cheese 13. Add a Ramen Place 14. Ice cream option 15. Something other than grilled salmon for the “catch of the day�

Thank you for your time and consideration. Please e-mail the SGA President, Alyson Guarino, with any questions or follow up at SGA_President@pride.hofstra.edu. She would be happy to provide the raw data for the Student Appreciation week results for campus dining to review.
