Whereas, The Student Senate for California Community Colleges, consisting of one-hundred twelve California Community Colleges, currently advocates for 2.3 million students through work coordinated both by the Student Senate Council and by the ten regions as arms of the organization;
Whereas, The Student Senate has limited resources to operate within each fiscal year and has seen a decrease of funds provided by the state;
Whereas, The financial cost of student advocacy continues to rise as the necessary scope of student advocacy broadens, with a buildup of various travel, room and board expenses; and a student-funded Student Senate will inherently be more representative of the student voice; and
Whereas, Resolution F08 17.01 asks local associated student organizations to provide an annual monetary donation to the Student Senate;
Resolved, That the Student Senate for California Community Colleges encourages the funding designated to advocacy be used to do any of the following: support Student Senate work either by the Student Senate Council or by the regions, in kind or monetarily, or to fund participation in coordinated advocacy work; and
Resolved, That the Student Senate for California Community Colleges continues to encourage local associated student organizations to regularly aid their local regions and the Student Senate Council by donating to the organizations whenever feasible.
