- current Vic students to run the space during frosh week and during the first week of classes on reduced hours of operation. This will make sure the space is open as we work to hire new Subcomm for the 2015/2016 academic year.
- • Student projects - Enxhi
- - Enxhi: First of all, I don’t know if you guys have all seen the website, studentprojects.vusac.ca, so far the operation policy is on the website, there is a how-to guide on how to apply, the forms are now much simpler than before. Past projects are also posted, for ideas and see what’s been done. In terms of policy, I am looking into a redraft on regulations, because we can’t fund certain things, and can only fund startups. However, last year a lot of things that were funded were against the policy. So policy is no longer updated or relevant for students. In terms of the committee itself according to the new VUSAC structure, the committee has VPSO and VPI as non-voting members on the committee, then there’s the Finance Chair and one president. There will be a new policy with the committee. In situations when VUSAC is applying for the project these ex-officio members will not be present at those meetings. So students are passing these projects not VUSAC members. These meetings will be strictly confidential, as all application processes should be.
- - Ben: When a VUSAC project is presented to student projects without VUSAC members who would be voting on this?
- - Enxhi: It’s going to be everybody but those two people. It’s still six votes.
- - Alex: Is there a quorum for student projects votes? Will the absence of VUSAC members voting affect this?
- - Enxhi: There is quorum. It will work in a way similar to abstention.
- - Emily: Will conflict of interest apply to other projects as well?
- - Enxhi: Yes it will. Regarding sexual assault, I am writing an article for the Varsity, updating on what UofT is doing and that will come out today or tomorrow, just read that and be wary that for focus groups they had people who were trained in sexual violence and trauma trained through schooling and by law, and they had a lot of problems with focus groups so just be wary that there is not enough protection for people.

- • Introductions
- - Lucinda: I’m feeling a little feverish so I’ve constructed a little script, so I’m going to go off of it. Hi! I just have a quick blurb about me, my position, short and long-term projects and goals. I’m entering my 3rd year in which I’ll be double-majoring in Equity Studies and Health Studies and also minoring in Psych. I ran for Member-at-Large, a position now called “Councillor”, in my first year because I was eager to find ways to get to know and hopefully help as much of the Vic community as possible. And I loved many aspects of the role and community but wanted to take a step back from extra-curricular commitments this past year, primarily so I could focus on a new role as co-director of an a cappella group that I also joined in first year. Now I’ve got a hang of that and I’m happy to be back in VUSAC! As VP-Student Organizations, I’ll be in charge of liaising between VUSAC and student groups at Vic, including our clubs, our levies and our associate
