The HUB-Robeson Advisory Board is now considering a tentative list of policies -- aimed at student organizations with office space in the HUB -- that administrators said would help resolve interorganizational disputes and help clubs work more efficiently.
Carol Reilly, the board's secretary, wrote the list of tentative policies and distributed copies of it to each board member at last night's meeting. She was willing to discuss a few items contained in the list, but refused to give a copy to The Daily Collegian.
"It has not been approved," Reilly said. "It's nothing that we're trying to hide...[the board members] haven't had an opportunity to read it."
Reilly explained the policies as "a reiteration" of the agreement that student organizations sign in order to obtain office space in the HUB.
"Many student organizations, in their haste to accept spaces, don't read the agreement," Reilly said.
She added that the new policies would provide an avenue for one organization to formally complain about the actions of another to the Center for Student Engagement or the HUB Advisory Board.
"It would give organizations an avenue to have any conflicts heard," Reilly said.
The board also approved the final placement of student organizations' offices in the HUB for the 2006-07 academic year.
Reilly presented a report detailing how some student organizations' offices had been relocated in the spring because of efforts to reconfigure the second floor of the HUB. She said in an interview after the meeting that two organizations, the Coalition of LGBTA Graduate Students and the Gaming Association, appealed for space, but lost their appeal.
"As of 10/16/06 all space(s) in the HUB-Robeson Center have been assigned," the report states.
The board also approved one change to its constitution, which was changed so that the University Park Undergraduate Association, not the Undergraduate Student Government, will have a representative on the board.
