The University of Utah recognizes and respects the enduring relationship that exists between many Indigenous peoples and their traditional homelands. We respect the sovereign relationship between tribes, states, and the federal government, and we affirm the University of Utah’s commitment to a partnership with Native Nations and Urban Indian communities through research, education, and community outreach activities.”

IV. Public Forum

Opportunity for members of the public (i.e. any non-Assembly community members) to spend time talking with and/or presenting to the Assembly.
Student Governance Advisor – Ethan Foley

Ethan Foley, SLI Advisor: sharing announcements and getting advocacy going through the year. Handouts,

helpful for parliamentary procedure. For Assembly representatives, use as a cheat sheet for Robert’s Rules, guidelines for a productive meeting. These rules are here as a tool to navigate discussions and move through the meeting effectively- different types of motions that can be made during the Assembly.

Including, how-to on how to navigate Robert’s Rules. In order to adjourn, take a break, make a point of privilege, suspend motions, bring back motions, etc., one would say—“I move to…” May you interrupt the speaker. Not in public forum. In the middle of debate, explaining a perspective, and someone might have information being left out of the conversation. Someone might interject and offer a point of information— good information to include. Everyone will want to know that information to include.

The other side offers a basic intro, much more advanced things to say and do. Normally, everyone will have microphones for accessibility. For now, just speak up, speak loud, and make sure that your voice is heard. This is a learning process, and there is not a single person who has been through a meeting where Robert’s Rules has been effectively used.

Two folders—one with a copy of the funding process, hard copies, which have been handed out already. Hard copies of the assembly schedule available. There is a copy of the agenda that the subcommittee chair has pulled out at their table. Subcommittee chairs will have these available for support throughout the meeting.

Members of the Assembly Rules Committee will have time to share out updates from their areas (i.e. what they and their teams are working on.)
Chair Dong
1. This space facilitates Representatives should have their voices heard. If this isn’t the case, let someone know. We want to take voices into consideration while we make decisions. Mercedes will make an announcement, but keep in mind what our budget is and how much has been requested for this cycle. Keep in mind that good causes deserve money, and do not pinch pennies. Funds should go where they are needed on this campus. Diversity is important. Lastly, if you are part of Assembly, and you are not a chair or member of Rules, do not have any electronics out. Keep meetings efficient and make well informed decisions.

Erik: The RSO is aware of the soft limit for the year in terms of
Dong: the RSO has sponsors and they have reduced the amount they are asking from ASUU. $4,000 is within our limit to give. It is important we support them because internships are Conferences like these are where internships are actively being offered.
Thomas: We have never sent out initial emails to RSOs on campus. Finances have already been broken They know this is their funding for the year. It’s likely we won’t see this amount of funding again.

Locke: Don’t cut down on Access to these opportunities shouldn’t be eliminated.

Cernyar: Too much per student (more than student fee), not fair; Are you open to amending the bill?
Singh: How is it fair if fees are both grad and undergrad, but the RSO is only open for grad students

Debate

Thomas: grad students have generally gotten the shorter end of the stick; it’s a lot but

important

Kotter: grad students tend to be excluded from a lot of campus events
Locke: networking is very important for the field of law, the more natural setting is important, not a lot of events are accessible to students
Cernyar: twice as much per student for the student fee; knows that grad students might be excluded, but $50 per person is too much; pay partial and help but be fair to other RSOs too
Crockett: able to go to BSG, grad students are mostly involved through networking and this is crucial to them
Bayard: hard to get grad students to come to events; they have other things to consider
Bond: bad argument to allocate only an equal portion to student fees
Oguz: Will you be coming to ASUU for future events as well?
Locke: to student fees, important to fund new student orgs to get people committed; people will want to be involved because of this

RSO Rep: Been a part of this club for three years. Grown from 7to 60 kids. This money also covers regional tournaments. This travel is not cheap. Want to separate clubs from lacrosse. Allow golf to be played by a wide range of people. Golf club allows people to meet new people. Two national Only way we can remain relevant and stay cheap for the student population.

Kotter: With the line items, this money is only used for what’s Travel is a separate budget request.
Rep: It’s not travel, it is the It costs a lot of money to register. They make it expensive.
Kotter: you have to have what’s on the request. There is not anything related to travel on the You will have to submit another request.
Crockett: It’ll help the club fund other Just help them pay for the things.
RSO: Money helps us keep our dues
Cerynar: How many shirts and hats are you paying for? Can these be reused by members? Are they retained by the club?

3. Debate

Munot: proposed motion to Shirts might not be necessary. That

$1,000 differential can be used for other purposes in the future.

i. Deleted line item, “shirts”, eliminated $1,400.

Bond: Encourage the uniforms become Heavily limits the ability to fund them. Since Boise and Idaho falls are so far away, they become subject of travel funding. Going forward we will look to get tournament expenses reimbursed elsewhere.

RSO: money goes towards tournaments in I don’t know how to get travel stuff going.
Reese: while this club does cost money, if we don’t pass this bill, people will have to pay more money.
Crockett: we are funding all students. Some students have more of a burden than others, but 1000 compared to 850 is night and We are funding all students, not students who need it the most.
