ASi Doesn't Listen to Students that Pay Them

Unfortunately, they did pass the Recreation and Wellness Center. Here are some concerns we have regarding the decision making and the lack of transparency and would like to state as denunciations of the SFAC which is manipulated by the business interests of ASI:

- We were not notified of the room and time for the meeting until Monday (Two full days before the meeting).
- There was no agenda that was given anytime before the meeting and it was not publicly posted (which did not allow for CARC members to prepare adequately).
- An hour before the meeting the location was changed from T - 152 to one of the Rosa Park's Room.
- There was no public comment
- The people in the SFAC completely neglected any input from those present at the meeting
- The Recreation and Wellness Center was ultimately approved with only a margin of 500 to 600 signatures.
- The entities sponsoring the Rec. and Wellness Center spent between $ 30,000 to 40,000 (of our student) dollars to market the project, pay full time staff to pass the project, and issue incentive prizes. Edina B. of the Student Center Business Office can offer any details regarding this staggering amount of money.
- and let's not forget to mention that the ASI had already spent $300,000 to conduct a feasibility test
- and, the SFAC violated provisions within Executive Order # 1034 conducting procedures for approving Category II fees. A letter of complaint was sent to the Board of Trustees with no response.
