Student Union senators will meet with Dean of Students Kenneth Elmore within the next two weeks to discuss recommendations for changing the Union’s structure, Union officials announced during Monday night’s weekly Senate meeting.

The final recommendations are still being debated, but Senate Chairman Joel Fajardo speculated that there will be a reshuffling of Union positions. A few positions might be combined to minimize overlap in responsibilities, he added.

“Probably in the new Student Union, my position won’t be here in its current form,” he said after the meeting. “It’ll probably merge with the president’s position.”

Elmore has been reluctant to give out information about the proposed changes until he has met with more students.

“To my understanding, what Dean Elmore is doing is he’s meeting with groups [of students] individually,” Fajardo said. “He’s taking note of what each different group feels. I believe he’s going to assemble what he believes will be the best structure for the Union next year.”

Sen. Jon Marker (Warren Towers) also announced at the meeting that the Union is continuing its work on reexamining the Guest Policy and looking into the issue of cable on campus. The cable committee, which was announced two weeks ago, will most likely be completely formed before spring break, Elmore said last week.

Senators also unveiled the Union website’s new look, which Union officials have been working on for the past few weeks. The Union already revamped its website earlier this year, but decided to make even more changes.

The new site came under heavy fire from senators who felt the website was too expensive – it would cost about $1,000 to create and run – and said the new site failed to correct the problems ailing the current Union website.

“My concern is the money we are spending on this – a thousand dollars is a lot of money for the quality of the product,” said Sen. Ethan Clay (Student Village). “I think we need to see if there are any ways to make it less costly.”

Other senators, sharing Clay’s concern, voiced their opposition to a new website, instead favoring an update on the current one.

The new website was supported by Senator-at-large Nathan Testa, who called it a “valuable resource,” citing the number of hits the website has received since it was first created. Testa also noted how much hard work the Public Relations Committee had put into its design.

After further debate the Senate voted against the new proposed website in a 19-10 decision.
