Discussion of Cultural Events Proposal Review Subcommittee
|
Discussion:
| -
Ms. Mayo stated that a sub-committee is created from CC&E that reviews and assesses proposals submitted to have funds allocated towards a cultural event on campus.
-
Typically, the process is that Ms. Mayo emails out the proposal from the cultural group and the subcommittee has one week to review it. A vote is then called as to allocate the group all of the funds, some of the funds, or no funds. If there is a lack of consensus amongst the subcommittee, they shall then bring the proposal back to the CC&E committee as a whole.
-
The following individuals volunteered to be on the subcommittee: Celia Esposito-Noy, Kathryn Mayo, Kathy McLain, and Bounpheng Bounchaleun.
-
The CC&E committee reviewed a proposal submitted for a Hispanic/Latino cultural event.
-
The proposal was reviewed based on the evaluation criteria.
-
The committee approved the event with the following conditions: the group must check to see if other groups/departments on campus have flags to represent the various Latin countries; and there was a recommendation for the group to diversify their events next year so that they are more inclusive of multiple Hispanic/Latino cultures.
