Committee:
Executive Committee
Whereas, The Student Senate for California Community Colleges Treasurer’s initial budget had a deficit of over $40,000, continuing the obvious assessment that the SSCCC is in a state of financial crisis;
Whereas, The SSCCC could potentially save over $4,000 dollars per flying regional senator annually by taking flights to the monthly meetings that require them to arrive and leave at a certain time (‘Wanna Get Away’ tickets), rather than the flexible flights they currently take (‘Anytime’ tickets);
Whereas, There is already a significant cost for changing the flexible flights, and the cost for having to change the fixed flights under extenuating
circumstances or non-attendance would be not nearly as great as the savings; and
Whereas, Constituents of the SSCCC expect the Student Senate Council to be financially responsible and accountable;
Resolved, That the Student Senate for California Community Colleges direct the Student Senate Council to purchase the ‘Wanna Get Away’ flight tickets as the standard for official business for; and
Resolved, That the Student Senate for California Community Colleges provide exemptions for the purchase of the ‘Anytime’ flights, including but not limited to, extenuating circumstances and official business with uncertain start/end times to be determined at the discretion of the Chancellor’s Office liaison handling travel arrangements.
