    Dear Zora,

    Thank you for conveying to me SA Resolution 7: Executive Governance Reform, Part 2(link is external). I appreciate the Student Assembly’s work on this update to the Charter, Bylaws, and Standing Rules of the Assembly. 

    On reviewing the section on Policy Committees, I want to remind the Assembly that while the Offices of Student & Campus Life and the Dean of Students welcome questions and recommendations from the SA policy committees regarding residential policies, the authority for these policies rests with Student & Campus Life and/or the university. 

    I ask that the Student Assembly clarify the language regarding the role of OSCCS in Section 3: Infringement of Confidentiality, with Dean of Students Marla Love, and resubmit the resolution.

    Sincerely,  

    Michael Kotlikoff
