1. I agree with Senator Germaine it is important to add none of the above and all of the above 2. Adjust the sprinklers and work on monitoring the use of them Chair Connoly-Sisk 1. Replacing the word “controlling” with the word “monitoring” may be a more appropriate option.

Chair Colon 1. Is this going to be a ranking or chose the preference a. President Stark and Senator Germaine is not opposed to having this based on the wording it might be misleading Senator Welch 1.

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. My understanding is that the author of this question is trying to collect data specifically related to the cost associated with replacing the card. v.

Senator Congdon 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

xxiii.

xxiv.

a. I don't think it is needed to ask this question and it won't be helpful to us 4. Senator Welch a. The data we get could show a weakness that students are asking and it could help having a COVID question 5. Chair Connolly-Sisk a. I respect that the question but by the time we get these questions back it will take time and the semester may be over already 6. Senator Germaine a. I think there may be a way to ask a covid question 7. Senator Cheng a. Agrees with Previous speaker said I think they can add a question Motion to pass S.A. 2020.85.008 1. Motion Seconded 2. Motion Objected 3. Debate a. Chair Connolly-Sisk i.

I do not see a need to have a covid question I don't have an issue adding it but i i give them timing to write the question during debate, b. Senator DeBiso i.

Most of COVID relating stuff comes from the State c. Senator Congdon i.

We are at entering a time now where any data we collect specific to COVID will become invalid d. Senator Germaine i.
