Student Government Assembly Meeting
October 16, 2012
I. Call Meeting to Order
II. First Roll Call
III. Approval of Minutes
IV. Guests
a. Dareth Finn – Recruitment and Alumni Coordinator – The Archer Center
i. Campus in Washington DC, interning and learning in the capitol, DC is an
exciting place to be, politics and policy, arts, business, sciences, open to
students of all majors and background, the archer center will help you find an
internship within your interests, take classes with adjunct lecturers, (DC is
your classroom) live in nearby town homes, 15 hours credit, don’t have to
worry about falling behind or transferring credit, fee is significantly cheaper
than 15 hours of credit, financial aid and scholarships will continue to cover
you, info session tomorrow at 4pm in FAC 4
b. Chief Robert Dahlstrom – University of Texas Police Department (UTPD)
i. Appreciate the opportunity to be here – both of my kids when to A&M, I
know that’s a bad thing to say here, I’m not sure why, I was not here yet. They
were raised longhorns, both little longhorns on the basketball court, wore
orange, helped clean when they were 9,10,11, something pulled them away,
they brainwash people. We have 66 officers on campus, about 50 guards, and
that’s not what keeps this campus safe. Students, faculty and staff who call
and report is what keeps this campus safe. How many of you got your text on
Friday? I hope everyone. I hope everyone is signed up for it, luckily it wasn’t
an issue, but we got lots of 911 calls, we finally located the young man, he
was doing physical fitness, it was a fake rifle, within 10 minutes we were able
to send out the okay. Take those seriously. We don’t send them out very often.
Federal laws we have to follow for any threat. We might send them at 2 am
but they are important. You might be sound asleep, wandering in. Robbery
two blocks from campus, stumbling to campus. If a guard sees it we have to
put it out. When you get that early in the morning and say it doesn’t affect
you, it could affect others on campus. Sometimes its over Christmas break,
were here, you aren’t.
ii. Number one crime on campus is theft, number one crime in the US in any city
is theft, number one most preventable crime, and you can prevent it, please
don’t leave your stuff laying out, keys and phone at the gym. If you have the
app find my iphone, we can use it to secure search warrants and find an
iphone. We have made several arrests of people by using the find-a-phone.STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Almost all thefts are preventable by securing property. 60 bike thefts last year.
Its not students, bait bikes, only 2 students. Open campus, people look at it as
an area of opportunity. 53,000 students, 20,000 faculty and staff. We are
packed into a small area, people are not id’d, not magic wall or gate, it all
blends in, be aware and secure.
iii. Next highest is alcohol related activity. We aren’t going around trying to find
people who smell of alcohol. When you read campus watch and we have
disturbances (Students swimming in the fountain, throwing up out of car,
streaking) that’s what brings our attention to them, if they are under 21 they
get minor in consumption, 65 percent of all arrests are non-students, 35 are
students, judicial affairs for arrests, no one wants an arrest record, student
judicial affairs
iv. SIRENS – make sure you are aware of testing times, if they go off another
time look at your face book, text messages
v. Video on website called run, hide, fight (compresses 20 minutes into 6
minutes from shots fired) if you get the opportunity watch the video. Run,
hide, fight. Been an officer for a long time, never told people to fight, but if
you do, it can save lives, do whatever it takes, use whatever you can, be the
aggressor. Play what-if games, im in a movie theatre, what happens if
something like aurora Colorado happens, know your way out. Fire in Rhode
Island, 100 people died because they all tried to go out 1 of the 8 exits. Fire
marshal puts out know your exit, know where you are, find the exits no matter
where you are. Fire, shooter, and other options other than the one way you
came in. Remember that for the rest of your life, it will keep you safe.
vi. BCAL – how many have heard of it? It keeps you safer than UTPD. Its tough
for me to say, but it is ran through the DOS and it keeps this campus safe.
People just like you, your friends, call that number and say that they are
concerned. Its not a snitch line where UTPD gets immediately involved, its to
prevent something bad to happen. Every now and then there is an instance
where we have to act immediately (suicide, harm others) they had 800 calls
last year, 800 lives that were reached out to and changed in a positive way.
UTPD Will keep you safe, but BCAL is important because it catches things
early on before it gets to the point UTPD has to get involved. DOS will reach
out to individuals (can I help you? Can we get you to counseling?) Before
people go off the deep end and hurt people
vii. How many in here have actually read the mission for yall on the newsletter? It
makes a lot of sense, it coincides with our goals.
viii. What starts here changes the world, and yall are the start. What changes?STUDENT GOVERNMENT

ix. 24 hour PCL (hired a new guard) JCL extra hours, benefits all students, you
should be proud. You can make a huge difference by putting forward things
you want to change. My personal goal is to make UT the safest campus in
America. How do you measure that? We don’t know. We want to be safe, and
you need everyone to do that, not just officers. Our goal is to keep students,
faculty and staff safe at all times. You can make a difference and come up
with new ideas. You can make this campus the way you want. We are sitting
in a building that wasn’t sitting here in 2006. I don’t even think it was even on
the drawing board. This came from student government many years ago,
students wanted to pay for it. Don’t ever think we just get together and eat
barbeque, you make a different
x. Love: Thank you so much for your dedication and service towards safety on
campus, I always feel safe on campus no matter what time it is and I thank
you for making me feel that way. What experience do you have in this field?
xi. Dahlstrom: I was at APD for 29 years before this position
xii. Love: Protesting on campus, is there any place where that is legal/not legal for
students, when Obama was here 3 people were arrested
xiii. Dahlstrom: Students, faculty and staff can protest anywhere they want as long
as they aren’t disrupting official business. They were not students. We gave
them a protest area, and they didn’t stay within that. I don’t think we are going
to do that again. When people are arrested it isn’t usually for protesting, its for
criminal trespassing. If you are students, faculty and staff, you can have a
protest anywhere on campus as long
xiv. Law school protest (30-40 people) lieutenant on duty came up and said if you
are a student you need to stay on campus to protest, and if you aren’t you need
to go to the other block
xv. Love: Any specific training on the constitution?
xvi. Dahlstrom: Trained on rights, understand them. When I was APD I worked
protests. We found beneficial to go talk to the police. We will help you find
the protest, help stage arrests, try to work with protestors, 3 warnings with
arrests, we told the media there were probably going to be some arrests. Most
protestors go to jail because it is part of their cause. They aren’t arresting for
protesting, its another b
xvii. Love: Football games? How many at them, and are they necessary? Budget
crunch, how many crimes?
xviii. Dahlstrom: I am not going to tell you the exact number (over 200) one reason
you will see them standing around is there are traffic officers and during 1st
and 4th quarter they can come in and watch the game, officers assigned toSTUDENT GOVERNMENT

ii. Love: Movies? Lets say an organization puts on a movie and noone in the
audience has a hearing impairment, is it possible for an organization with no
members who are hearing impaired
iii. Guerra: No, not if there is no one in the organization that is deaf or hard of
hearing. This would be necessary for public events, not applied to
organizations who have no concern with it.
iv. APPROVED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT
XIII. New Business

suspend the rules?

vi.Approved by voice vote
vii.Vincent: Motion to suspend the rules and hear AR 12 and AR 13, objection
viii.DEBATE:
ix.Vincent: It was really a procedural error, I take full responsibility, no
contention about AR 12, will talk about AR 13, it’s a contentious issue, but I
would ask as a representative to atleast hear the bill to discuss it.
x. Motion withdrawn, move to suspend the rules to hear AR 12
xi. Motion passed
c. AR 12
i. Third of 18 ballot propositions, it is in favor or geographic representation, SG
assembly passed the 10-1 plan last year, new plan to replace council members
with at-large members, students around ut campus will get their own district
(12 percent of the population) would basically get one rep, mayor to be
elected from the city at large, independent districting commission, would not
be made up of politicians, required to have 14 members, one of them has to be
a member of a community college or university in Austin, we can educate
students and hopefully get a UT member on the commission
ii. Love: Friendly amendment: Add media outlets, Love as a sponsor
iii. Fast-track suspension vote: passed
iv. Approved by unanimous consent
v. Vincent: Move to suspend the rules and hear AR 13
vi. Vincent: Same reason as the other bills, it has been changed significantly into
a poll to avoid the 900 dollar costs
vii. Suspension Approved
d. AR 13
i. Vincent: Supplement to conversation we had last week, read Whereas 2. The
main reason I want to bring this up, is if we are going to pass a stance it is
critical that it is representative of the student body on an issue that is so
important to the student body, we need to make sure it is correctly reflecting
student opinion, I ardently opposed the fast-track because we didn’t have
much student opinion. We need to set the precedent for how we run things
like this going forward, we increase the amount of polls, referenda, 55,000
students, teach-ins weve had, conversations we have had are incredibly
important for teaching students, its important to have the poll to get more
wide-spread student opinion.STUDENT GOVERNMENT

ii. Love: I think having a poll is really important, and on some issues I would be
more inclined to listen to the opinion of students, I believe that I was elected
and that my opinion is sufficient in representing the students who elected me,
and I would not like to be bound by polls, why does this edge on the
autonomy of representatives?
iii. Vincent: This is non-traditional. We don’t discuss supreme court cases
everyday, we deal with appropriations and events, not supreme court cases,
and with an issue this big we need a direct democracy, ask students how they
feel about it, we vote one way or the other even with the polling data.
iv. Vincent: The second reason I want this is so that we are correctly advocating
for students support
v. Williams: Is there anything in the constitution that allows for polls?
vi. Nichols: It does not disallow it. As an ex-officio member, have you looked
into the legality of going up against the university, who you are funded
sponsored organization of?
vii. Lund: The University has taken an official stance on this issue, and I think it
would look bad for us to turn around and say otherwise as the official voice of
the students of the university.
viii. Nichols: I think it is illegal
ix. Vincent: It doesn’t oppose the university’s stance
x. Nichols: But it leads to an action that would go up against the University
xi. Davis: Historically, only (DEBATE STARTED)
xii. Vincent: I took out those two whereas statements to avoid the questions of
legality. This will not be an official stance, this is students polling students,
want to talk about the content and the merit of talking to students
xiii. Williams: Hypothetically, knowing that we were going to take a poll, and that
we would publicize it, and it were to go against the University’s stance, what
if the poll goes against AR 9, and us as a representative body for students, if
we cant even decide on an issue like this, what will it be as far as AR 9
xiv. Zhao: It isn’t old business, cannot be fast-tracked
xv. Vincent: Can I at least defend what I said? Crystal and I had a conversation,
students are not educated as far as UT v Fisher, with that I said that student
Fast-track justification says that the supreme court has already heard opening
arguments, it is necessary to gauge student opinion on the issue so that we can
quickly come out with legislation that endorses whatever that opinion is if
that’s what we decide to do.
xvi. Zhao: Do not approve of fast-track, not enough student involvement, we
haven’t been as open in discussion with each other, I don’t feel the studentSTUDENT GOVERNMENT

that you have about University Unions

spoken to that I would be contacted, I understand that it doesn’t go the way it
plans, if you are interested in a topic I will give it what attention I can

food options, snack food) blue books, school supplies, we want to do a type of
