MSA Meeting 1.18.05
Yea! The resolution I co-sponsored passed unanimously: "Resolution to Support Conversion of the Frieze Building Site into Additional University Housing." McFo and I will be writing up letters to support new University housing to University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman, Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs Paul N. Courant, Dean of Students Sue Eklund, and the Board of Regents. We will work on this Friday at 2 PM during the ERC meeting in the ERC office of MSA Chambers, third floor of the Union.
The "Resolution to Fund Women's Health and Fitness Day 2005" was also unanimously passed, and MSA allocated $4,300 to their event, estimated to cost $15,780 in total.
MSA also approved BPC's (Budget Priorities Committee's) Review Board Recommendations and Budget Priority Appeal Board Recommendations:

Finally, there was a "Motion to Form an Investigative Committee" because a member of the Peace and Justice Committee sent out an e-mail for the DC buses with some partisan opinions attached. The copy of the e-mail I received tonight had one comment with a definite partisan opinion, but this comment was not directly linked to the title of Peace and Justice co-chair. Right now I am uneasy about this process, as I know that the co-chair of this committee is very dedicated, and it would be a shame to lose this person. Right now I feel it's better to have a dedicated co-chair who made a mistake but wouldn't do so again compared to a lukewarm co-chair who wouldn't make mistakes because he or she wouldn't do much at all.
That's it for now! Take care!
