of students that enrolled in fall of 2013 were the first in 

 

their families to attend college.

 

 

 

Whereas, first generation and non-traditional students come from different 

 

backgrounds and have different ideas that shape their first 

 

college experience. 

 

 

 

Whereas, there is a need for a space in ASUCI where first 

 

generation and non-traditional students can voice their concerns and needs to 

 

the institution.

 

 

 

Whereas, because first generation and non-traditional students encompasses 

 

African- American students, Chicano/a students, 

 

undocumented students and other intersectional identities, 

 

there is a need to create a committee where their needs are 

 

represented in the legislative council.

 

 

 

Whereas, ASUCI has a duty to ensure that first generation 

 

 and non-traditional students have the tools and resources needed to be 

 

successful on this campus

 

 

 

Whereas, it is essential that ASUCI is directly informed of 

 

the needs of first generation and non-traditional students 

 

may have and thus, there is a need for a first generation and non-traditional

 

committee within the legislative council branch.

 

 

 

Whereas, the first generation and non-traditional committee would be composed 

 

of first generation and non-traditional students, ASUCI officials, and 

 

legislative council members.

 

 

 

Let it Be Resolved, that ASUCI Legislative Council will 

 

form the committee for First Generation and Non-Traditional

 

students to service the needs of First Generation and Non-Traditional students, and

 

 

 

Let it further be resolved, that the composition of this 

 

committee will be determined by the Advocacy Committee in 

 

regards to the exact number of seats and participants, and 

 

 

 

Let it be resolved that the First Generation and Non-Traditional Student Committee is empowered to work with 

 

various outreach and retention groups such as, but not 

 

limited to, Student Support Services and Student Outreach 

 

and Retention center, and

 

 

 

Let it be resolved that ASUCI Legislative Council appoints 

 

Miguel Olvera and Ramses Chavarin from its own membership to this 

 

committee, and

 

 

 

Let it finally be resolved that following the rules stated 

 

under ASUCI Bylaws, Article XIV, Section A, the progress of 

 

the First Generation and Non-Traditional Student Committee 

 

will be reviewed at the end of the Spring Quarter 2016 to 

 

discuss its annual renewal.
