Senator Behm Change affordable to reasonable in Question 6 1. Motion Seconded 2. Objection a. Debate i. Senator Behm 1. My understanding is the discrepancy under COVID i don't believe that people can afford these changes as well as people think of affordable in a different way. This might change the data when it is received ii. Senator Doherty 1. I see both reasonable and affordable is suggestive and I believe seeing this is as affordable this may or may not be affordable to certain people $25 is a lot to some people. iii. Senator Germiane 1. I think affordable is a better use of the wording but reasonable may seem better as well as of an opinion iv. Chair Connolly-Sisk 1.

We would like to get the sentiment of the numbers b. By a vote of 9-17-1 Motion does not pass Senator Walker THis question came from the comments of many people and to see what others think of the Hofstra Card services Senator Behm if someone can afford this it is a matter of it being objective Senator DeBiso Friendly wording question Senator Welch I am concerned that we do not have a question about COVID in here Chair Connolly-Sisk moves for a 5 minute moderated caucus about hosting a question about COVID 1. Chair Connolly-Sisk a. I wonder if it is a necessity that it is needed if we are asking if people are aFE and asking question 2. Senator Congdon a. I don’t believe that a question specifically related to COVID would be helpful in this instance given the type of data that we are trying to collect. 3. Chair Khandelwal
