School Reports (15 minutes)
§ Medical School:
·
Concerns
with retro-active grading and changes to curriculum.
·
Parking
discussion at the new school—there is still no parking. Tram hours may be
extended? The dental school may be closed at 7pm? But you can swipe into the building at any
time. Perhaps parking may be accessed by swiping?
·
If
you are in the garage you can leave. But after 10pm you cannot get in the
garage.
·
There
are public safety issues regarding late night travel of students to their cars
and home.
·
Discussion
regarding parking for pregnant and disabled students. Will there be any assistance for these
students?
§ Dental School:
·
Same
issues—parking and concerns about access to the new building for school
work. Faculties’ favorite catch phrase
is “at the new school”.
§ Pharmacy:
·
Incoming
students are excited about the new school. The P3’s are starting rotations, so
they will be done with didactic.
·
There
are some concerns about the new insurance rules. The students are on a
Providence Insurance Plan and may be forced to buy the Aetna Insurance plan.
Also frustration that the Insurance Exchange does not qualify for a waiver.
·
Since
the school is now self-insuring do these new rules really help out? Also, there
is a financial assistance program to aid in paying bills from OHSU if you are a
student.
o
Additional agenda items:
§ Nathan Risley - Discussion regarding
responsibilities of the Student Council President and the meetings that the new
president (KC) will be attending.
§ Karen Seresun - Provost wants to see
a unified commencement meeting (similar to the orientation). There will be one all-campus ceremony in the
morning and separate school graduations in the afternoon. Administrators would like to see the All-Hill
Student Council President be involved in the large morning ceremony by giving a
speech.
§ Discussed trying to get nursing and
PA school to get more involved in the AHC. Also options to have the meeting
move around campus to increased accessibility to other students.
Nate Risley
used his gavel adjourn the meeting at 12:50 pm.
Next Meeting: Friday,
June 6th 2014, 12:00-1:00/1:30pm at MRB 310*
