Welcoming everyone:
Attendants: [Niko, Rahel, Johanna, Alex, Jakob, Antonia, Yavuz]
Officeholder updates:
EOs:
- Application from UCF Repair Cafe for 40 Euros from the StuRa Fachschaftsbudget.
-> for new and more some word in German that didn’t get
-> 8 in favour (approved)
StuRa:
- Should we keep the polls in the NL? (-lots of work for me but not enough participation -SC votings seem to be more efficient)
- -> it was a way to increase participation (or open it for people who are not coming to the meetings), but it’s been time consuming and not thaaat effective
- Niko: is it feasible to do both? And to give someone the job to write the polls?
- Alex: I could discuss it next week and then let you know
- Update from the StuRa meeting
This week we have to vote on the following topics:
1. Applications for different positions (all were uncontroversial actually, I think it is okay to vote for the candidates)
– Katharina Emig (Freiburg’s educational and research center(f0r) music)
– Anne Schulze (ESU Conference)
– Lisann Speldich (Commission for Questions of Diversity and Inclusion) - All in favour of all 3 applications
2. Financial application
– 250€ for financing the training hall for a student Quadball-group
– they want to use the money from the Group-support-budget (there are 252€ left)
→ Personal opinion: as it is a student group and there are no other financial applications for this small amount, I think we can give them the money:) - All in favour
3.We are currently paying 7€ from our semester fee to the StuRa – now it should be increased to 12€ because otherwise the StuRa will have difficulties financing all of our projects. We can decide whether we are okay with the additional amount or not.
(Niko: I thought the increase already occurred?
Alex: no, it was discussed last week
The building of the StuRa is falling apart)
This means that we are paying 5€ more
5 in favour, 4 abstained
→ Personal opinion: Although it is never good to have to pay more, I think there is no other option really. The StuRa-executives highlighted a few times that they see no other solution
4. We also can vote whether we agree with the reallocation of unused SVB money
→ The executives said that this would actually lead to having more money available for the different faculties - 8 in favour
5. Institutional support by the StuRa for Organizations
5.1. ProDoc – they organise event for PhD students from all faculties
5.2. La Banda Vaga – they are a political group ( they describe themselves as anti “authoritarian left” – they mainly organise discussions
-> they want to promote the multidisciplinary and connect people
->La Banda Vaga: they have a website with all of their declarations
-> should we support this? The project is a good thing, and they seem to be really motivated and it is an active thing. They were a bit controversial during the StuRa - Alex: still I don’t see any big problems
- All in favour (9)
- Ongoing project: updating the SVB files on ILIAS, making information re SVB applications more transparent and accessible ( If you have any ideas about that please let me now:))
- First SVB meeting for 2024 will take place in January ( I will be updating you once we have a date)
- There is the opportunity to advertise events through the StuRa channels – I just need a short info about what should be advertised before the weekly meetings (no “formal” mail needed)
Boards (Mediators, BOS, Outreach, Treasurer):
- Mediators:
- Comment spam issue on the UCF website should be resolved
- We have to put “unable comments” for posts
- Rahel will take a picture of that
- Petition to change the billing information on the website-> should go to the treasurer
- Should not be for private persons
- Question about the user profiles connected to the website – who should be registered there?
- Secret Santa is happening, yayy
- -> hope everyone signed up, all set
- Happening on the 19th
Committees:
- Reading room/ Crochet (AL): financial application: 10 euros
+ clarification of duty
-> tea in the common room for the Crochet committee and other students
9 in favour
- Winter festivity: need volunteers
- Question about the responsibilities of the reading rooms
- -> it this written somewhere?
- Sophia: having tea is not reading room’s committee
- Johanna: we could make it its responsibility
- Niko: is there an issue with having it as the reading room’s responsibility?
- Sophia: this has to be made clear. Its responsibilities are booking rooms, winter festivities, Narnia, books, etc
- Antonia: is this written somewhere?
- Sophia: in a bunch of documents
- Needing volunteers for volunteers: maybe help from the student council
- Solution: to ask in the group chat
Miscellaneous/Wrapping up:
- We gave Yavuz and Sophia their presents for their service at the Student Council
