Expert Says Meetings Illegal Thursday March 22, 2018 The Student Voice of California State University, Fullerton Volume 103 Issue 26 ASI controversy continues; Expert says meetings illegal The elections judicial council convened at least three times to hear complaints without posting agendas, which are required by ASI bylaws and California law. AMY WELLS BREANNA BELKEN KYLE BENDER Daily Titan Associated Students violated a California open meeting law over the last two weeks by failing to post agendas for three closed meetings, according to a legal expert. The Associated Students elections judicial council held meetings on March 7 at 4 p.m. and March 14 at 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. They addressed complaints filed against Celine Mou- bayed and Colin Eacobellis, Associated Students president and vice president candidates, respectively. The elections judicial council failed to post agendas for the meetings as required by the Gloria Romero Open Meetings Act, a California law regulating student governments. Apparently, it is standard practice for the elections judicial council to fail on posting agendas for its meetings. “There are no agendas for the meetings. They are pretty standard. We receive a complaint and the person that filed the complaint and the person the complaint is filed against receives an email from me letting them know that the com- plaint has been received,” said Rachel Langenfeld, Associ- ated Students election director and elections judicial council chair. Agendas for board of directors or committees meetings must disclose items to be discussed in a closed session be- forehand, according to the Associated Students’ bylaws and the Gloria Romero Act. “We can clearly say they violated the law by not posting no- tice of agenda,” said Mike Hiestand, attorney and senior legal consultant for the Student Press Law Center. According to its own bylaws, the Associated Students board of directors and all of its councils and committees are required to comply with the Gloria Romero Open Meetings Act. Violations of the act can carry consequences.

  • Out of the Textbook, Onto the Ballot Student Puts Coursework Into Action, Gets Medical Marijuana Measure Put to Vote
    Accounting Expo today Fullerton Classic preview Students get a chance to CSUF volleyball to face tough network potential employers opponents at Titan Gym News 3 Sports 8 Wednesday September 17, 2014 The Student Voice of California State University, Fullerton Volume 96 Issue 9 Out of the textbook, onto the ballot Student puts coursework into action, gets medical marijuana measure put to vote RACHAEL GARCIA Daily Titan A ban on medical marijuana collectives and co- operatives in Santa Ana may soon go up in smoke, due to a measure put on the ballot by a Cal State Fullerton student. Kandice Hawes, a political science and public administration student, put what she learned in the classroom into motion to get an act on the No- vember ballot. Measure CC, which will be on the November ballot in Santa Ana, would replace the current ban on medical marijuana collectives and cooperatives. Marijuana is classified as a schedule one drug, grouped with other illicit drugs that are highly addictive and is considered a zero tolerance sub- stance on campus. Hawes was convicted of a misdemeanor for pos- session of marijuana, which disqualified her from receiving financial aid. She had to stop going to school and get a part time job while going to com- munity college. Now, Hawes is back at CSUF. After her experience with existing marijuana laws, Hawes drafted the measure with her lawyer, collected 13,000 signatures and $75,000 in cam- paign donations.
