Staff Senate meeting notes for October

Staff Senate met on Wednesday, October 1st. Our guest speakers included a presentation from Dr. Ralph Ferguson for the Ethics Center and how to utilize the center effectively, Ben Mercado on behalf of the TTU Toastmasters Club – Eloquent Raiders, which invited senators to participate in meetings for leadership and speaking enhancement, and Baleigh Waldrop who reported on current Student Government Association foci for 2014 and 2015.

The Staff Senate voted on a scholarship concern. Previously, the scholarship website stated that to be eligible for the Stacy Elliott Staff Senate Scholarship must be a:

· Full benefits eligible full-time staff employee of Texas Tech University as determined by Human Resources

This language was voted on to restrict staff from Texas Tech University Health Science Center, San Angelo State University, and all extensions of the above including Junction, Fredericksburg, Waco, etc. in applying and receiving the TTU Staff Senate Scholarship. Moving forward, only TTU or TTU System (directly working for the Chancellor) will be eligible for future scholarships starting in Spring 2015.

Additional discussions included: June, August, and September meeting minutes were reviewed and approved. Treasures reports fwere also presented to the senate for the summer and fall. The President's Staff Senate Recognition Award Giveaway recipients were announced for the men’s and women’s basketball tickets. The Issues Committee reported on the following topics in which resolutions are being established: bike storage, staff hiring being impacted by tattoos, Lync system service results from survey, and pedestrians not using the crosswalks.

Staff Senate meetings are open to the Texas Tech University community. Our November meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 5th, at 4:00 PM, in the SUB Senate Room.
