Council Minutes from 4/6/11

7:04pm Meeting Begins in the Resource Room

7:07pm Just Kidding Meeting Actually Begins…

Misleading conversation from representative’s email
Difference between actual approval and what is in discussion
Example:  11:30pm going to bed for 8:00am classes not approved but in discussion
Example: Toaster and Irons for residence halls, specific dorm vs. dorm-wide

Double-check emails and information sent out to the other RAs—update entire council

Request vs. Demanding for ADs during the area meetings
AD does not have to leave
RA Council taking place without an AD is privilege
Is this a question of trust? If so, have a conversation about it with your AD or with Danelle

How do we respond to misrepresentation?
Entire council takes responsibility for misrepresentation
For these instances: sending out a correction email

No group interview for returners
Returners hired before new? Why is a returner better?
Ratio of returners vs. new – necessary but can be troublesome
RA being present during selections
Generally is Senior RA
Next year possibly Senior RA

Acknowledge Process before hand—training possibly
And warning forms – training as well

Medical Supply Kits
Why Not? Insurance issues

Staff Networking Meeting
ADs not giving credit where credit is due
