Synopsis: Campus Wide Finals Study Break
Date of Presentation: 11/18/08
 

Whereas, it is the responsibility of ASUCI to improve student life on campus, and

Whereas, it is a goal of the At-Large Representatives to encourage both a spirited social and learning environment throughout the UCI campus, and

Whereas, a study break during Week 10 would provide students with a friendly atmosphere where they can relax before finals and socialize with fellow students, and

Whereas, a study break would foster a positive flow of information and ideas through the interaction between the At-Large Representatives and their constituents, and

Whereas, a study break would provide an opportunity to discover, learn, and assess many concerns of the students at the UCI campus, and

Whereas, a study break would bring students together to discuss the recent issues in student fee increases, and

Whereas, the student body could come together to sign tangible letters lobbying against student fee increases that will be sent directly to the UC Regents.

Therefore, let it be resolved that a pre-finals study break be held the 10th week of Fall Quarter on Tuesday December 2nd  on ring road in front of Gateway Study Center and Langson Library.

Let it further be resolved that $770 be allocated from Council Unallocated Account #6501-7120 towards the following estimated appropriations:

Food/Drinks/Snacks: $400
Tables/chairs/trashcans: $100
Finals Supplies: $100
Letters to Regents: $150
Survey Supplies: $20

Let it further be resolved that all remaining funds unused after the event be returned to Council Unallocated Account #6501-7120.

Let it finally be resolved that all ASUCI Legislative Council members support and publicize the event!
