Dave outlined idea that CPSA employ a person to cover CPSA Sullivan Ave office 10-00 -2-00 daily.

 

There was discussion about what this person would do and the general view was that it would

be better to have class reps cover the lunchtime on a roster rather than employ someone.

Joy/Dave to organise roster, access etc.

Joy will be at Sullivan Ave Office all day on Wednesdays from 26th May.

 

Darryl outlined the Grants Review process and asked for feedback on the Grants.

1.    Each class have a set amount to spend per head.

2.    A separate fund for Sullivan Avenue for Events and Grants.  Allocation decided by Sullivan Ave students.

1    Grants:  At the AGM an Embargo was placed on all Grants.  This is due to contradictory policies and a question of mandate.


Discussion:


Last years grants awarded for non educational purposes were up to $7000.00 at the end of last year.

Money was set aside in last years budget for grants.


Student Exec Levi Martin: His class thinks grants should continue however the policies and

procedures should be reviewed.


NASDA Student: Would like to see grants for each school to be fair.


Jazz Student: Funds for faculty events etc… An alternative is funds go into a trust and designated to

different schools dependant on student population.


Broadcasting Student: Suggested to look at other learning institutions and see how they allocate

their Student Association funds.


Student Exec Shannon Tamehana: Class reps to go back and discuss mandate for grants and deliver

responses back to the policy and procedures board.


All class reps were asked to go back to their classes and find out what are their opinions on the grants.

Individual and class grants as well as hardship grants.


NASDA Student: Suggested more class rep meetings, Darryl Stone responded, suggesting that

the President could meet with class reps from each school or faculty because of difficulties getting

class reps to meetings.


Association Manager Dave Marra: All meetings class/senate are in the yellow student diary.
