How are you all doing tonight #sgachat |
|
12:17 am

anschwartz:
|
A little dissapointed that Tom chose to pick soccer over our chat, but i'll get over it :) #SGAChat |
|
12:18 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
Looks like we've got a small crowd because of the #nsc10 events. Shall we start? #sgachat |
|
12:18 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
@MichaelSCashman Pretty well, yourself? #sgachat |
|
12:19 am
|
sgachat:
|
How well has interaction historically gone between administration & students on your campus? Is such interaction common? #sgachat |
|
12:21 am
|
MichaelSCashman:
|
@DanMcDs not bad. Hey is anyone going to ASGA's Boston conf? #sgachat Or been to one in the past? |
|
12:22 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
@umb_usg interacts with admin on a near-daily basis. Always seems to go well overall, and is rarely confrontational for either side #sgachat |
|
12:23 am
|
MichaelSCashman:
|
@sgachat Over the years our SA has seen it all. To a vote of no confidence w/ one pres to signing SharedGovernance MOU with then 1 #SGAchat |
|
12:23 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
@MichaelSCashman can't say whether I personally will be there, but some @umb_usg reps should be #sgachat |
|
12:24 am
|
anschwartz:
|
Our school admin likes to get involved, but also likes to take a little more control then they should #SGAChat |
|
12:25 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
@MichaelSCashman We have had no contact orders issued between exec members before, that was interesting #sgachat |
|
12:25 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
@michaelscashman Whats an MOU? #sgachat |
|
12:27 am
|
MichaelSCashman:
|
Memorandum of Understanding -- ours outlined that students would have seats on major committees, n SA would be consulted on issues #sgachat |
|
12:29 am
|
MichaelSCashman:
|
What is your #1 issue facing you and your admin? #sgachat |
|
12:34 am

arjayquizon:
|
I'd like to jump in. Arjay Quizon, SBP at UNC Pembroke, chiming in. #sgachat sorry I'm late. |
|
12:35 am
|
arjayquizon:
|
@sgachat Q1: Interaction between admin and students on my campus is great, or at least there are no real problems #sgachat |
|
12:35 am
|
sgachat:
|
@arjayquizon Welcome! #sgachat |
|
12:36 am
|
arjayquizon:
|
@anschwartz ours is different. they're more handsoff, up to a certain point. i'm glad my administration hasn't reached that point #sgachat |
|
12:37 am
|
arjayquizon:
|
@MichaelSCashman we have ours lined in the Faculty Senate Constitution and the SGA Constitution #sgachat |
|
12:42 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
@arjayquizon We have lines drawn in our bylaws and a student leader code of conduct. So far all has gone well #sgachat |
|
12:47 am
|
sgachat:
|
What are the biggest issues your administration and SGA have diverged on? #sgachat |
|
12:49 am
|
sgachat:
|
And what are the greatest successes you have had working together? #sgachat |
|
12:50 am
|
arjayquizon:
|
@sgachat AFAICR, none really, admin and sga are like-minded, but we still have different views #sgachat |
|
12:51 am
|
arjayquizon:
|
@sgachat greatest success is during our tuition and fee increase talks. definitely #sgachat both parties understand what the students need |
|
12:51 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
We've diverged on fee increases. That's pretty big- they worry about layoffs/cuts and we worry about affordability #sgachat |
|
12:52 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
We've seen success increasing the student voice & student involvement in the campus governing progress. That's been excellent #sgachat |
|
12:54 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
@arjayquizon I can e-mail it to you if you'd like. Its academic & behavioral guidelines mainly #sgachat |
|
12:55 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
@arjayquizon Actually, here it is:http://www.umbgov.com/tracker/, third one down is the full Code. Woo for new websites! #sgachat #umbusg |
|
12:55 am

arjayquizon:
|
@DanMcDs i'd like to see it. email is sgapresident(at)uncp(dot)edu thanks #sgachat |
|

|
MOD: As we bring #SGAchat to a close, please share your final thoughts. |
|
12:56 am
|
arjayquizon:
|
@DanMcDs oh great! thanks #sgachat, i'll look into it later |
|
12:57 am
|
arjayquizon:
|
@sgachat I believe that admin-sga interaction will always differ from campus-to-campus and sga-to-sga. #sgachat |
|
12:57 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
@arjayquizon Glad I could help! #sgachat |
|
12:57 am
|
arjayquizon:
|
@sgachat however, i believe that clear lines of communication is always the key #sgachat have your candidates share their platforms early |
|
12:58 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
Final Thought: Perhaps an #sgachat the day after #nsc10 wasn't the best plan, haha. I hope we get to revisit the topic! |

|
arjayquizon:
|
@sgachat especially to the admins who get involved a lot. have your elected officials sit down and lay out their agreements #sgachat |
|
12:59 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
Administration is not the enemy, they are often willing to move forward with you if you are civil and back up your suggested change #sgachat |

MOD: Pen Down, Head Up! #SGAchat is officially closing, but we'll keep the light on all night for those too energized to sleep :-) |
|

|
DanMcDs:
|
@arjayquizon The wonders increased communication can do in almost any circumstance is astounding. I harp on lack of comm. often #sgachat |
|
1:00 am
|
arjayquizon:
|
@DanMcDs as our admin say here at UNCP: "we're resources, don't be afraid to use us" #sgachat |
|
1:01 am
|
arjayquizon:
|
@DanMcDs i learned the hard way... first few days into office on my first term... haha it was horrible #sgachat |
|
1:02 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
@arjayquizon Exactly! Great attitude for admin to have and even better when students can realize there isn't always a hidden agenda #sgachat |
|
1:03 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
@arjayquizon That can be rough. Halfway through my first term I got elected to a chair position. Was pretty difficult for awhile #sgachat |
|
1:03 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
@arjayquizon Of course, I kinda was able to run with it. The committee I had has a broad mission to this day, very flexible. #sgachat |
|
1:08 am
|
arjayquizon:
|
@DanMcDs most people don't see the virtue in being on par with the admin #sgachat |
|
1:08 am
|
arjayquizon:
|
@DanMcDs i believe that the concerns of the admin/university are the concerns of the student body. most people don't get that #sgachat |
|
1:09 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
@arjayquizon Yes an no. Many just want to defend students against any harm, whether it is real or imagined. #sgachat |
|
1:11 am
|
arjayquizon:
|
@DanMcDs possibly, however for my university there is no such harm coming from the admin, both real and imagined #sgachat |
|
1:14 am
|
arjayquizon:
|
@DanMcDs i have a student who thinks that.. he thinks i work vs the students.. you can't please everyone, eh? #sgachat #toughlove |
|
1:17 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
@arjayquizon It's ok, our Steering Committee was accused of corruption in one of our meetings last year by our student trustee #sgachat |
|
1:17 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
@arjayquizon Needless to say it went nowhere. There was no truth at all to the allegations, and nothing formal ever surfaced #sgachat |
|
1:18 am
|
DanMcDs:
|
@arjayquizon Makes me wonder what we did to make her think we all wanted to 'screw the students' though #sgachat |

|
@UVenus Write a constitution and draft a set of bylaws. Draw from similar schools in that process #sgachat |
