Committee:
Relations with Local Senates
Whereas, Currently, it is not commonplace for California Community Colleges to have tampon and/or pad dispensaries in their women’s restrooms;
Whereas, If an incident were to occur prior to or during class, then the individual may miss crucial information for their academic success because they cannot acquire a tampon or pad in a reasonable amount of time. Health services may be on the complete other side of the campus and not easily reached;
Whereas, Students would be more inclined to stay in their class if these supplies were on campus in more accessible places, instead of rushing home to change and freshen themselves up; and
Whereas, The dispensaries would cost about $85.00 to the school per machine, and stocking them would be as cheap as 11 cents per tampon, thus giving the school 14 cents profit for each tampon sold. If the dispensary sold 608 tampons, then the school would break even on their purchase;
Resolved, That the Student Senate for California Community Colleges urge local Associated Student Organizations to implement tampon and pad dispensaries within their respective campuses’ women’s restrooms and dedicate profits received towards school sponsored or student oriented expenditures.
