Synopsis: ASUCI Refurnishment
Date of Presentation: February 3rd, 2015
 

 Whereas ASUCI strives to treat its staff members, from its interns to its governing officers, with respect and consideration; and

Whereas the current status of equipment in the ASUCI Office space is no longer able to fulfill the needs of such staff members and keep up with ASUCI’s day-to-day operations; and

Whereas, more importantly, several pieces of broken equipment still in use due to lack of available resources, continue to pose a safety hazard to those staff members; and

Whereas such a disservice to ASUCI’s staff members is of great concern to Legislative Council; and

Whereas there is thereby an expressed need to update and refurnish the ASUCI Office space, for the purpose of improving its efficiency and visibility; and

Whereas Article XVIII “Guidelines for the Expenditure of ASUCI Funds” Subsection D, Item 1 of the ASUCI ByLaws allows for the use and expenditure of funds from the ASUCI Reserves Account in the “Purchase of equipment or technology that provides a long-term benefit to the organization,” and/or “Unanticipated one-time expenses that are necessary and vital to the organization;” and
