IHC Minutes: January 10, 2006
meeting called to order in Ruddock
absent: Peter Foley
- The Student Housing Committee is meeting tomorrow. They want to
discuss the mural policy and seven-day board. Arturo will be
there.
- Jacob Burnim will ask Tom Mannion who to contact about the
audit/investigation of Caltech Dining Services that is currently
occurring.
- Jacob Burnim will put together a list of recent changes that alums
might be interested in, so that Mike Chang can expand it and look
into communicating it to alums.
- Peter Foley will speak with the Alumni Associate about getting contact
info for alums from different Houses for House funding raising events
and to facilitate Houses keeping in touch with their alums.
- Some members of the IHC have heard that House items stored at
St. Luke's may not have been properly cataloged, and thus it may
be very difficult to retrieve them once the South House renovations
are complete.
- It is resolved that Arturo should run for BoC Chair.
- Matt Walker will check with Tom Mannion to see if the financial aid
statistics the IHC wants are available -- specifically, how many
undergraduates receive full financial aid from Caltech.
- The IHC continues to discuss the administration's proposal for
a 7-day board plan and possible means by which it could be prevented.
- The IHC believes that the current 7-day board plan will require
residents of Marks and Braun to be on board, but not off-campus
alleys and Chester. This needs to be double checked.
- The IHC is concerned with the e-mail Margo Marshak sent out
right at the beginning of winter break about meal plan changes.
- The IHC will continue to work with Tom Mannion and Margo Marshak
to have the money 7-day board is supposed to make come from other
sources.
- The IHC will also speak with the Scholarships and Financial Aid
Committee, the Student Housing Committee, and possibly the
Ombuds office.
