  • Going to senate this week
  • bryli: this wednesday
  • ronitnath: i will go, talk about desktop refresh again, senate chambers 5th floor esh. also talked about staff vm.
  • bryli: met with Lauren two weeks ago:
  • Need ASUC Exec Board Member to submit recurring CACSSF
    • Recurring CACSSF is likely to increase with minimum wage/inflation (not guaranteed, Lauren is checking in)
    • Check back this week Thursday
    • Recurring CACSSF doesn't exist? Confirm with Lauren
    • Can switch the person in the role per month
    • jaysa: so true!
  • ABSA funding only for stipends not for hourly wages
    • So if we used ABSA to cover minimum wage/inflation we would have to the adjustment for inflation w/ an one-time stipend
    • e.g., if they work 120 hours a semester and minimum wage increased by $1/hr, we would just have them submit a one-time stipend request for $120
  • ABSA - opens on Monday, until March 6th
    • Will have OH/infosessions
    • Important for application - be able to understand how we spend ABSA funds
    • Use it or lose it - if we don't use it, will be allocated less, plan ahead
    • We use ABSA as operational funds, if we don't need as much we can apply for less
    • Last year roughly $20k
  • Kailen - ASUC Senator
    • Including chartered programs more in the ASUC
    • Can include us and invite us to the meetings
    • We're basically an auxillary of the ASUC
    • Any benefits that would be nice for chartered programs? We can give thoughts during our meetings
  • Financial audit - there were 2? Not sure if they were different
  • Can we identify graduate students? Used supernova and found LDAP roles (https://calnet.berkeley.edu/calnet-technologists/ldap-directory-service/how-ldap-organized/people-ou/people-ou-affiliations) but no specific assignments other than for affiliates and alumni
  • Opstaff want to get OCF/MLK unlimited access, what's the plan?
  • Previously we only gave OM unlimited and the rest limited due to security concerns
  • Ask about adding side door during working hours to Limited ACL
  • Security is annoying us
  • Ask Lauren about this - kicked out after "OCF hours" but before building hours\n
    • Kicking out regular staff right after OCF closes before MLK closes
    • Should not need after-hours access to stay in the OCF before MLK closes
    • What do we do?
