Motion to approve the VCAS goals: Sebastien
Second: Jimmy

Stephen: Is there a plan to seat/re-seat the constitution and bylaws workgroup?
Jennifer (response): Yes, will reach out to members and continue work.
Tania: How do we improve communication?
Jennifer (response): Possible retreat for senate council, and during this we could work on strategies for communication.
Sebastien: When would we establish consistent expectations, etc.?
Jennifer (response): The retreat is still an idea, and it could be discussed then. Approval of an ad hoc committee is another option.
Jimmy: Thinks it is a weird goal. Each senator should be communicating with their group. This should be goal of individual senators.
Jennifer: Goals came from one of the workgroups that were approved in spring. Some items that were requested to go out through senate were referred to Department Chairs. Having a goal to help us get there - doing our job - still seems like an appropriate goal.
Stephen: Other colleges have access to listservs to reach out to everyone. It is abused. The need for access to listservs has been presented to the President and VPAA. Availability of listservs should be addressed.

Nays: None
Abstain: Rachel, Michael
