Senate sets goals for 2008-2009 legislative year

Upon meeting Christopher Chavez, acting Vice President & President, Associated Students Board of Directors, I recieved a copy of The Policy Agenda and Legislative Initiatives for the 2008-2009 Senate of the Associated Students.
ASI President Erin Swetland approved this agenda on Sept. 24th, 2008 to be put into effect for the 2008-2009 school year. The approach ASI takes to achieve these goals will affect students, teachers and faculty alike. The goals include but are not limited to:

• Improve campus safety
• Designate smoking areas on campus
• Improve quality of acedemic advising and make it more accesible
• Urge local and state leaders to not cut higher education expenditures as a solution to the budget woes of California
