At the general body meeting of the Undergraduate Council of Students last night, one student was voted onto the executive board while another was voted off a task force.
The former was Ryan Lester '11, who ran unopposed, and was subsequently elected, to the position of appointments chair in an internal election, which became open after Erik Duhaime '10 resigned earlier this week.
The latter was Brian Lee '09, whom the council voted to remove from the Undergraduate Finance Board oversight task force for failure to attend meetings or respond to e-mails.
Also at the meeting, Student Activities Chair Drew Madden '10 proposed two motions which got approved at the meeting. The first was a code change which stipulates that UCS will review every Category III group every three years, reviewing a third of them each year. The other was UCS' official recommendations to Director of Student Activities Ricky Gresh and the Campus Center Planning committee for the Stephen Robert '62 Campus center.
Madden also motioned for two groups to receive Category I recognition and two groups to be elevated to Category II groups, all of which were approved. The Tone Deafs, an a cappella group, was granted Category I status. Global Extentions, a group which proposes to discuss issues and host events about those issues, also received this status, pending a name change. BrowNation and the Brown Social Enterprise Club were both elevated from category I to category II status.
In other UCS news, the University Resource Committee recommended an $18-increase to the student activities fee. UCS should find out by tomorrow whether or not the Corporation approved that recommendation, Madden said.
