Dear Sarah,

Thank you for sharing the Student Assembly’s support for the recommendations made by the Ad Hoc Committee on Global Affairs. I note especially the recommendation of undergraduate students serving on the Implementation Committee of a Global Affairs major, a notion that I support, recognizing the leadership for the initiative will need to come from involved faculty and college/department administrators.

Per your request, I will share Resolution 51 with President-Elect Garrett.

Regards,

David

Dear President Skorton,

I would like to convey Resolution 54: Verifying the Fall 2015 Elections Rules to you. This resolution was sponsored by the members of the Elections Committee.

The changes to the rules, indicated in red, were very minimal because the Elections Committee believes that the major changes to the rules for next year's elections should be approved by the new Elections Committee that will begin its term in the fall.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best,

Dear Sarah,

I appreciate the formal resolution expressing opposition to the health fee. While I understand many of the concerns you have conveyed, I have tried to be very clear that the health fee will be implemented in 2015-16.

A Health Fee Advisory Committee will be created for the purposes you requested, and will continually evaluate the fee. We will work with the Student Assembly and the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly as we draft its charge and membership.

Dear President Skorton,

I wanted to convey Resolution 46: Opposing the Health Fee to you. This resolution was sponsored by Emma Johnston (Arts and Sciences Representative), Yamini Bhandari (VP for Outreach) and Jordan Berger (Parliamentarian).
