This week, on Last Week in the ASUC
Stuff, from Nad Permaul
The Vice Provost made a commitment to ask in her budget for next year, $4.1 million if the students passed the Referendum, which would make up the entire $6 million to do the planning. Mr. Permaul said he thought that was very significant. It's not a commitment that the money will be there, but she went to the Provost and the Executive Vice Chancellor and said she would ask for the money. She made it part of her budget submission for the coming year. So that was a clear commitment on the part of the campus to work with the students on this project. Considering maybe giving money in the future counts as a "clear commitment"? See, to me, a clear commitment would be something more like "If you pass the referendum, we'll give you money." That's not what we're going to vote on, though. From Josh Daniels:
He didn't know whether Director Permaul mentioned this in his presentation, but Cathy Koshland's steering committee submitted a request for next year of $600,000, with a total, over four years, of $4.1 million, for planning. This was pretty remarkable, and they've gone from nothing to $4.1 million, over four years. Well, no, we're still at nothing.
Josh Daniels is running for GA president again next year. Yay!
Apparently, Oren Gabriel is failing to do his job of nominating Judicial Council members (SHOCK!!!) and so folks are asking Josh Daniels to pick up the slack.
Mr. Chu said he wanted to thank people who went to Cal Lobby Day. It was a success. He had a great time for the second year in a row. Interesting standard for success. I would've called it a success if it, say, stopped fee increases or something. It turns out I wasn't the only one struck by that comment:
Mr. Nguyen said that regarding Cal Lobby Day, he asked how many people attended and why Mr. Chu considered it a success. Mr. Chu said that for him, even if only three or four students went who really wanted to go, that would have been a success to him because. They had a chance to talk to district Assembly members, Congress members, and people were excited. Huh. Interesting. Empty.
