Last year, the administration presented a plan that would provide a laptop to every student. The University cannot afford to provide computers to every student nor will students be required to buy computers. Labs will continue to be maintained. However, a problem will be created when the parking garage on the East River Road is removed. A plan has been submitted to the Board for an underground parking facility on the current site.
Students are concerned about the national trend in binge drinking.
There are some programs in place already and those are being reviewed. Discussions have also taken place with Vice President Boston on this matter.

Mr. Berglund concluded the discussion by expressing the Student Senate's gratitude to President Yudof for meeting with the Student Senate and said students hope he will be agreeable to attending future meetings as well.
