2nd Year Experience (Unofficial) Meeting  � October 15, 2007
 
  
Meeting started at 5:01 P.M.
 
Meeting ended at 5:57 P.M.
 
 
Members Present:  Jessica Brooks, Faith Johnson, Brianna Reese, Kyle Mikel, Craig Burkhart, Ehren Ekhause, Shaye Bouckaert, Chris Harper, Katy Wohlschlaeger, Corey Merrifield, Hiren Patel, Sammy-Jo Stolle, Alex Bradford, Nick Main, Zak Kallenborn, and Ni Hoang.  Angela Murphy and Niels Zussblatt came in late.
 
 
Current Privs to Change
 
� 4-6 check-in based more on responsibility, not GPA. Let�s try to get this one changed immediately.
 
� Extended Curfew on WEEKENDS for seniors.  It�s the only time seniors are allowed to spend time with other seniors. Actually extended on weekdays is used for studying � it�s quiet and easy to focus. It could be beneficial for those below a 3.25.
 
� More individually based!!! (i.e. already taken micro, 3.24, etc).
 
� Having a 3.25 gives you 3 nights of study privs. Anything below that is nothing. That�s rather ridiculous. [A 3.24 is no different than a 3.25].
 
o What�s with the difference in 1st year privs and 2nd year privs? .. I missed it/I am confused.
 
 
 
 
New Privilege Ideas � disciplinary record based, not academically based.  Look at them on an individual basis!!!!!
 
� 2nd-year trips/activities � Social activities ARE important!!! You need something to encourage a student to study.
 
o Senior trips are usually on Saturday night � who studies that late, anyway?  No one.
 
o Senior trips SHOULD be senior trips, not a good-GPA senior trip.  Changing this is not giving those with a �bad� GPA a reward. It�s really not punishing them.  Last year they all got to go to Perkins (even with below a 3.0).  Now those without a 3.25 wouldn�t get to go. Consistency?!
 
o More just-senior activities.  We want to be able to spend alone time with our classmates.
 
� Seniors to have cars. Turn in keys. To be used for going home for the weekend.
 
o Storage?
 
? There�s already a shortage of parking spaces on campus
 
? Maybe we could park a car in a place we don�t have access to. The staff would have to shuttle us to our cars.
 
o Ask academy what the reasoning is behind not having cars. Just liability?
 
o Use cars to go home, KCI, possibly SAT.
 
o Is it just a liability issue? If so the parents can�t sign waivers.
 
o Parents have to approve before any time a student gets their key.
 
� If they trust us enough to be here, they should show it.  We�ve earned this because we�ve been here for a year. We�ve proven ourselves.
 
� GPA Rant � what are the real motivations for having above a 3.25?  Not many.  Naming those below a 3.25 as incompetent is demeaning.  Don�t change the GPA rules, just treat us better [mainly RCs attitudes].  People would be more productive if they are happier. 
 
� E-mail other academies and ask about their senior privileges. 
 
 
 
Other Privileges/Ideas
 
� 2nd year + Staff Meetings
 
o Communication between RCs and student is lacking.
 
o 2nd years would like to give their insight to Rob. Quality over quantity, though. Maybe we should wait until 2nd semester, though.
 
� Net Cut
 
o Try a preliminary basis.
 
o Let�s poll the parents!
 
o Korean students � have to look up the information AND try to do their online homework.  Non-net-cut would be greatly beneficial to some of these students.
 
o Previous experiences in Douglas � May session with females and up until recently with everyone in Douglas. It actually turned out all right.
 
o Some students stay up until midnight just because internet is there.  Net cut can provide more sleep. 
 
 
 
Side-note 1:  Dances ending at 11. Talk to Winston individually. 
 
Side-note 2:  Talk about net cut in AIC or SGA.
 
Side-note 3:  The RCs work from 4-12 PM, but we don�t see them during that time anyway.  [Them = about � of the RCs]
