Summer Fees Follow up

  • Ashley: TAPS follow up

Lydia: Cowell said they would prefer to reduce fee

- Regina: Merrill also said would prefer reduced TAPS fee, also questions on why its full?

Same question with Opers Lisa: Opers doesn’t get charged during summer

  • Ashley: A couple people stayed over summer, busses are decreased so should be

paying less. If we’re gonna do that then we should bring TAPS in Lisa: I let TAPS know this was brought up, because historically TAPS has been getting full funding but still in a deficit.

  • Chase: Does the summer fee for TAPS also include people who take only online

classes? Lisa: I believe no way of knowing if they’re doing only online vs. one online one not online so they were charging Lydia: this past summer was the first year that anyone enrolled in any class was paying the fee

  • Veronica: Everyone paid the fees, but if you called the registrar they would refund you
  • Ashley: We’ll try to get TAPS to come in soon
  • Chase: Is there a way to see a breakdown of summer fee?
  • Ashley: Should be in summer drive?

CSF Phone Call

  • Ashley: Council on Student Fees, phone call was yesterday 11/18
  • Ashley: UC Student Regents on phone call, talked about basic needs committee, one for

every campus. Requesting funds (7.5 Million), also mentioned chancellor search

  • Ashley: Thoughts on reaching out to the organizers of the protest in seeing what they

want from the chancellor?

  • Adam: What would the goal be?
  • Ashley: More student voices
  • Ashley: Wanted to be included, but unclear
  • Ashley: SUA and GSA president are both included in decision, but not sure how much

Lisa: What were they protesting about? Lydia: They had a list of demands

they’re talking to students

  • Derek: I was there, participating in search committee meeting. Whole search committee being lead by Napolitano, held meetings with other interest groups. The students who showed up were passionate that they were displeased, but not sure what those concerns were.

  • Ashley: I’ll send out email

  • Adam: Lets confirm with Lucy

  • Ashley: Will do

  • Ashley: Next meeting of SF (Jan 27-28), that’s a Sunday and Monday. UCOP meeting

on monday. If you’re interested, tell me if you want to go

  • Ashley: UC’s negotiated with state to not raise tuition, but we’ll have a 5% increase in …

(fill in)

- Ashley: Should CSF have a seat at the table for budget consultation? UCSA director says they don’t want to consult with students but it’s now a law they have to so UCSA has a rep.

  • Ashley: Tuition has been increased, but student fees hasn’t. Since we’re student fees we

should be included so why aren’t we included in meeting? How do we get them to listen to us? Someone said to point out regents charter. I mentioned that each SFAC works differently so if each EVC writes that SFAC/CSF should be included Lisa: Which are you referring to? SSF and tuition are the only ones that are campus wide

Lydia: can we bring this up to UCOP

  • Ashley: Yes, those
  • Ashley: We’re building up to it
  • Ashley: remember you’d be missing the Monday

Lydia, Chase and Veronica interested in joining Ashley

  • Adam: to clarify, we’re deciding whether to fund them the $5,000 they ask
