Minutes SC Meeting 30.11.2023

Welcoming everyone:

Attendants: Nicole, Rahel, Niko, Johanna, Sony, Antonia, Ella


Officeholder updates:

EOs:
  • Proposal: info when and where SC meetings on SC board in the hallway → total agreement, will be done by Sony
  • Any topics we should bring up when meeting with staff after the SC meeting? More power in the decision making process of events SC pays for or other funding (Lena)
    → Lena already sent something to them at some point, we’ll refer to the minutes, no new information
  • Website overload email?! Bot comments are getting out of hand!
    → not certain where to actually comment, Rahel will take care that they might be disabled
  • Website rework – underway – certain sections have been rewritten and others will also be redone – the Docs page is once again discoverable, this seems to have been made private (-> was only accessible when logged in), hence 404. (Rahel and Niko) Anything people have in mind on the website that needs editing?
    → they aren’t done, more contents (committees, …) will be updated and expanded on, reworking the Intranet section (all individually protected, centralizing the protection, if possible)
  • 30,000 Euros added to the general budget of the University, this is something the StuRa could decide to do stuff with – do people have ideas for programs that could use this money or ideas for new funds?
    → we could make new pots, possibly make new projects, from Campusgrün but opening question up for everyone and passing it on to StuRa representatives; BUT keep in mind that individual application process takes a lot of time → if it’s a bigger project it might be handy to combine the application (Niko)
StuRa:
  • How did the poll work, was this an effective way of getting input on the upcoming issues?
    → according to Quill seems to be working acceptably so far (actually just a small amount of people but at least a few participants)
    → proposal: getting the polls by Thursday so it can be discussed in SC meeting → SC members can then try to influence/pass on the importance of some of the voting (Niko)
  • Not possible to get SVB applications anymore – deadline was today 
Boards (Mediators, BOS, Outreach, Treasurer):
  • Mediators:
    • please please upload your pictures to the drive for the picture board!! Till next wednesday! → Niko will upload pictures from the election (in EO Drive)
    • We have all the gifts, what now? Do we invite all the different past officeholders or do the new officeholders give it to them? Or or or…

→ we invite them, when they come we find them (Nicole)

→ Kimi will be sent a post card

→ Karen will receive a card with an invitation

→ EOs will send out invitations email to past office holders

  • Secret santa might take place
