Student Activity Fee: Matt Couch and Marie Thornhill polled delegate body on how OUAB, Explore Columbus, and student organizations are feeling about the fee. Patty Cunningham is a grad student on the committee to put together events and is doing a great job.
Diversity Leadership Transcript Program. Sen. Cormier explained the program and how to access the information on the web.
Del. Fraser posed several questions: 1. Is the 4th quarter fee waiver still available if you graduate in the Spring, but will continue pursuing further course work toward another degree in the Summer? Is there an exclusion from student health insurance for injuries in intramural sports or club sports? If a student incurs property damage inside a University building, such as a laptop being damaged by falling ceiling tiles, is the University responsible for replacing the laptop? VP Hodak stated that she wasn't sure about the answers to each of these questions, but would look into them and email answers to the delegate body in the near future.
