Dalavai: I agree but also at the same time we were need to craft the budget this weekend. It already went to emailed they had stuff to do. I do agree this should be commissions I was just making a statement. As more prioritized I don’t agree with reasons provided unfortunate as it is to have many absences we have to like this should be a higher priority. They had a reason see it so I don’t think we should see senate bill 77 this week. I xi. Savage: what would the alternative be? don’t think this is a chronic issue. xii. DeAngelo: I would like to see people show up. We vi. Singh: next time when everyone is here we can discuss ought to just see it tonight when it is acceptable to miss meetings and how we can hold each other accountable. xiii. Dalavai: Shai I wasn’t calling you out. I totally get that. units are hurting the association. It has nothing to do I wasn’t implying you don’t make this a priority. Please with current management it is just a factor of the unit’s head out I’m looking forward to the performance. services. It has high overhead costs resulting in what you see in graphs before you. We have never cut units B. SB #77 DeAngelo – 8:32 before. We should have a well-seated table but the Authors Comments cards were dealt. I would like to see a lengthy i. DeAngelo: Passing around a few graphs there should be discussion because this is an important discussion to 15 this was passed by previous exec. This was a unit make. established in the 70s with just selling notes and ii. Flores: we saw this bill Monday and voted 6-1 to pass rebranded in the 90s. the reason we are cutting this unit it. Some concerns were not having representative for is because it is not doing well. It is a commercial unit advocating to keeping the unit and concern for students and is not turning a profit. Reason 2 is that we don’t that do use. There was concern for those who rely on have a space to house this unit at the end of the year. It paychecks for the unit and finding ways for the unit to will disappear regardless of actions of ASUCD. The make unit or keeping services available in a different current trailer isn’t fit. The third is that the unit is way. providing a service not demanded by students. With iii. Heifitz: we had a bunch of reasons why we thought this better technology people wont be buying notes should be cut. It is losing money. One of the things they anymore. These are the numbers from last 15 years. managed is they moved to the trailer and is that why There’s a multiple of factors. What the unit should be they are losing money? But they were losing money all making could have been plotted. Why are we cutting 11 of those years which is bad especially for OASR? Why are we cutting CCE? It is because these commercial unit. They are losing $15000 per year. Compensation such as Cheggs and online resources cut that would type up notes on typewriters to give to into their thing. Most professors nowadays post lecture students. They would give it back to them for a fee. notes and podcasts so it is antiquated so maybe that’s This unit persisted long passed its demand. It was why they aren’t achieving their goals. Another thing we hemorrhaging money. This is trying to be proactive to looked at was price and demand. Getting the notes is prevent years and years of losses. We are trying to $15 per quarter. If you get 1000 people to buy notes Band-Aid the bleeding and that’s why we are cutting that is $15000 and overhead costs are what more than this unit. It came up we would be cutting peoples that. And they don’t sell even that. We can have a livelihood. It would remain operational until June 10th. steady fixed income from any company to open a place This gives them a month to seek employment down there. elsewhere. But after June 10th all assets will be Questions in text liquidated and positions eliminated iv. Flores: Line 17 vii. Dhindsa: how many workers get paid? v. Dalavai: Line 6 the comment after then, should it be a viii. Maddie: we have 5 part time employees. And the unit dash? Strike comments after line 6, there should be a director and 2 managers dash but no comma ix. Singh: Lets hear from you both Public Discussion x. Maddie: I am unit director and I was a part time vi. DeAngelo: this is part of a series of management employee prior to that. We see the numbers are down correction action to prevent a situation of insolvency. If I’ve seen the graphs. It’s sad to have to come to this you compare us to ASUCLA and ASUSC both went meeting. There are a lot of factors on a personal note. bankrupt and were absorbed by admin. We are trying to We have a lot of HR concerns. It put the safety of our prevent that. Janice always tells us a story about a unit employees at risk and in order to protect them we were allotted payment per employee. We had to have 2 xiii. Singh: have you explored any options or models to people in the trailer at all times. We ended up going improve unit? double over budget for paying employees. Trailers have xiv. Maddie: we talked 2 weeks ago about new ideas to impeded foot traffic. We had signs outside but they modernize the unit. We talked about offering it online weren’t indicative of what we did. Note taking was cut and having readers available online in the form of e so we couldn’t hire note takers for the year. I’m not text. In our meetings with Joe and abhay and David we sure why that happened. Note takers would self-fund so weren’t sure if that would be enough to recover the half of what was paid would go toward the note taker unit. We weren’t sure if that was a risk. It would be and the other half would be toward campus copies. The risky but we tried to explore options. influx was do to that. xv. Singh: if you can move back to east wing would that xi. DeAngelo: I purposely excluded fiscal year 15-16 so help? we weren’t reviewing the HR issues because it is not a xvi. Maddie: a lot of the business is foot traffic so yes. result of management. I didn’t want to distort the People would stop by and in the trailer you don’t have actuals I presented. that sort of thing xii. Heifitz: so you mentioned the trailer thing like I xvii. Dhindsa: so we definitely listened to a lot of cons. Can mentioned before all those years 2001-2012 CCN was you highlight pros? still hemorrhaging money. The few years you did make xviii. Maddie: we are lower cost. Readers are cheaper to money was less than $12000, which is far less than process through us its just a matter of getting professors projected. If we put a company in the east wing it is a to go through us. Notes are good resources. Most of our steady flow of income that would make more than all notes were outdated so we were trying to look for ways the years CCN made. to update those resources. A lot of science majors come in to use them as an extra thing to study from. It is xxiii. Maddie: we do out price like FedEx we had a print job helpful and we were the better alternative. I know that the notes xix. Dhindsa: do you know a rough number of how many and stuff are available on Chegg. I can’t speak for those students in count? because I don’t have accounts but they are like $4. We xx. Maddie: I do know we had at least 118 notes for just offer different notes organic chemistry every quarter xxiv. Dalavai: do you have any case of imperative you can xxi. Dalavai: So unfortunately I didn’t make it to make that you would say would keep CCN relevant commissions discussions but I was told it was brought over competitors? up that there are cheaper alternative for this same xxv. Maddie: to turn into technology mode because many service. How do you reconcile that? Its rough. We have students use laptops. We can offer online text as an a certain price we have to maintain and that’s not option that competitors don’t. and since it eliminates always cheapest way to go need of paper and less resources, we can offer a cheaper xxii. DeAngelo: It was Georgia’s lets talk about sex event price when we were looking to buy online merchant and we xxvi. Dalavai: nobody wants this to happen. Unfortunately, looks at CCN and it was 20% more expensive. It was it’s looking that way. It sucks but if you got anything to the difference between 80 and 100 dollars. We did that say, we would love to consider any solution. to support our own unit but if I was a random individual xxvii. DeAngelo: INC convened earlier. There is I would choose the cheaper option. In some instances infrastructure set up currently to electronically convert specifically one instance, CCN was the more expensive these notes. The unit wouldn’t be housed, it would option strictly be virtual. We upload the notes and sell on an already established online service. We continue the service of selling notes without physical storefront. xxx. Heifitz: everyone goes to other places like Greek life There is still a need to have internal printing such as for has stopped going to CCN. I heard from friends it’s too the Coho to print flyers. So taking some of CCN’s expensive assets such as the printer would be taken into the closet xxxi. Singh: Do you want to elaborate more on online thing of ASUCD. This would be anew unit, the cost would be Joe? When will it happen? $80 a week. It would break even solely to serve printer xxxii. Lee: honestly CCN was my firs adopted unit so it sucks needs. We don’t need 6 employees or paying hourly or to consider this. I wasn’t for the idea but looking more with stipends. There will be no longer costs. This is an at the data we just cant keep up. They are going to have easy solution to maintain service without overhead. to run a student fee for this. It is the reality with all our xxviii. Heifitz: I wanted to mention the prices like Joe said are units. The expenses are above all income. This becomes way more for CCN including the readers. As we necessary. Joe has worked with trying to preserve mentioned at B&F there is a case where professors integral aspects of units. In the long term this saving prefer to go downtown for the sake of price and quality money helps the other units. Its not gaining the money xxix. DeAngelo: there is a multitude of reasons Davis we hoped for. Its offset by hitting other unit accounts. CopyMax offers cheaper prices. There are legal reasons xxxiii. DeAngelo: Alex informed there is already a website we charge more. They are liable to lawsuits whereas we setup not being used properly. All we would need to do are not. They are not completely analogous business. is transfer over the data and it’d be ready to use. It We want to follow the law above all else and if another could be done by summer. I don’t know the technical service doesn’t, we can’t say much about it. parts of it. I would assume it would function similarly without the overhead. xxxiv. Lee: Remember we had the idea about having the Professors even tell students to go and get these notes. ASUCD online store so if we put all purchasable It increases subscriptions. Offering those some sort of service there it can be put in a shopping cart. way post this would be helpful. xxxv. DeAngelo: its already available web thing. We just xl. Martinez: do you think services can be transferred? need to push the button. xli. Maddie: yes I don’t know how easily it can be run xxxvi. Savage: Do we have a system for which we think would without someone implementing the transition. I don’t implement uploading the notes? know if its something we can do in the next three xxxvii. Maddie: all notes are digitalized already. We weeks. There’s nowhere tangible to put us. discovered a couple in our files were it’s missing but xlii. Martinez: you haven’t looked at admin or any other most are electronic ready. The system we have in place place to absorb what you do? To help the students on the website would need updates but it is something xliii. Maddie: the idea is to keep website running to some where online you have system where people can degree. Because that cant be outsourced elsewhere. purchase online and only view it through that. You Updating is a completely different issue. I don’t know can’t copy or download them. They are single access how that plays in your vote. and in play on the website now. xliv. DeAngelo: likely, all current notes will be transferred to xxxviii. Martinez: did you ever try working for an alternative or online store. There will be no more notes being added have you made peace with the unit being eliminated? because then we would have to continue hire. We xxxix. Maddie: the note taking is very unique. If there is an archive current notes so they are still accessible for alternative to provide these notes to students. Other purchases. In some cases it doesn’t matter if it’s the than the textbook and classmates. The notes we had same lecture. included office hours and other helpful resources. xlv. Martinez: if this unit is eliminated, how can we make i. Lee: I would encourage you to ride the house first the services already present move them somewhere ii. Singh: we are in senate discussion so any final thoughts else? to Maddie? xlvi. DeAngelo: we are eliminated positions and assets. We iii. Maddie: No thanks would move notes online iv. Park: one thing I was at the meeting with CCN with Joe xlvii. Martinez: who would update? and abhay. We had Kathy come in to explain the xlviii. DeAngelo: there would be no update. Creative media financial situation. What you see in front of you is the can work on that. Infrastructure is there. The unit has a units performance. One thing I want to highlight is that website not being utilized. He can upload all of the from last years admin they were having talks about this notes and that’s it. They would not be updated. It would but it was never considered to cut the unit. It hasn’t just be what it was. In 2018, they wont be adding new been done before. There has been a time lapse. Admin notes. Every note will be 2016 and previous was left with the tough choice to call this. Maddie xlix. Maddie: there’s nothing more current than fall 2015. wasn’t informed on how she can turn this around. She We didn’t have note takers this year. was given only 2 weeks. So that was very little model. l. Dhaliwal: this is by no means to undermine what CCN Then she sees this bill to be cut. There’s a lot of things does. Since my freshmen years there are tons of Google to consider I do see the business aspect but there are drives that student share that include recent notes or the also different units hemorrhaging units. Is this the unit quarter before. There’s Chegg and other portals. If you that must be cut? Look at it from all aspects I know are going to transfer stuff, it would be awesome to be CCN hasn’t been doing stellar but if we provide them online with one chance to turn it around Senate Discussion v. Savage: what do you recommend? vi. Park: I would say lets look at different units right now Divide the House we only see CCN's budget. We need to take into xii. Savage: gage of temperature holistic consideration vii. Savage: which units are you referring to? Vote Count 7:1 Bill passed viii. DeAngelo: this is going to become a witch-hunt we didn’t just wake up and decide CCN. We are cutting the BREAK 9:17-9:24 unit because it is historically unprofitable. we have looked at alternative and compared with other services Pro-Tempore Elections at other campuses. Their services are operated by admin Martinez Accepts and profitable as well as highly digitalized. Look at this from business perspective because ASUCD is a SB 78 – 9:25 business. If we can’t finance, we will cease to exist. i. Deangelo: part of the process of dissolving this unit is Our commercial units have to perform. Its not like we reallocating the assets.
