 (20 minutes)
a. Student Newsletter Committee (Vijay Patel): Student blog site.
b. Student Health Advisory Group (Derek Musashe):
i. The Annual Student Health Survey is being sent out, so be on the
lookout for the email. This survey is used to evaluate student
satisfaction with the Student Health clinic as well as to review
student understanding of the university sponsored insurance plan
(i.e. our Aetna health insurance). Feedback from the survey helps
inform the Student Health Advisory Committee when making
decisions about our future health insurance plans.
ii. The Student Health clinic remodel is going to be spread out over
many months and is expected to be completed in August, 2011.
iii. The Student Health Advisory Committee is starting the process of
reviewing Aetna's renewal bid for our insurance plan. It was noted
in the meeting that Aetna cannot increase our premiums more
than 13.5% for next year, which would translate into a $36
increase for OHSU students on the main campus here in Portland,
and $44 for OHSU distance students. The committee still
reserves the option to request bids from other health insurance
providers as well if it is deemed prudent.
iv. The director of the Student Health, Dr. Amy Gardner, discussed
next year's plan to require students to get referrals from Student
Health before seeing an outside provider for non-urgent, routine
appointments. This policy was approved by the Student Health
Advisory Committee last year as a way to lower premium costs for
students. The exact details of how this policy will be enacted and
enforced is still being worked out by the committee and should
hopefully be resolved by the next meeting.
c. Student Center Planning Committee (Karen Seresun):
i. Anticipate some construction to begin at the Student Center in
mid-February
ii. Relocation of book store, moving some offices around in the
Student Center
iii. Acoustical tiling to be installed in the Nucleus and lounge space
 iv. If sufficient funds, former bookstore space will be turned into
gaming place, mainly cosmetic changes plus games/toys; likely
completion in April
v. Jason asked about investing in Student Center if campus down to
waterfront; med and dental 2014; Kirsten asked about student
services in initial building, but no plans for similar student center at
waterfront; South Waterfront campus construction to break ground
next fall
d. March Wellness (Joan Feraco): New medical exercise center, diabetes
program, other chronic diseases as well, pre-assessment, post-
assessment, educational classes; goals: setting diet, cardiovascular
fitness, strengthening, education after three months, info goes back to
physician, new monthly healthy cooking class to add to medical exercise
program, $198 out of pocket, requires physician referral, may qualify
under reimbursement of insurance spending accounts; billed as an
exercise program; not a group visit with physician interaction
e. Library (Laura Zeigen): She¶ll be at student center on Mondays from 11-1,
as a trial being in locations where students are, where it¶s convenient to
have a librarian.
f. Incidental Fees (Charlie Muraki):
i. Will survey students, what they know, how they rate the value in
terms of what they¶re getting, and allocation of funds
ii. Intent to get feedback in two weeks, with presentations and
recommendations at next student council meeting
iii. *Results need to be in by March* to Dr. Robertson; we (a.k.a. the
Student Council leadership, a.k.a. Charlie) seem to be building a
better relationship and understanding, with improved
responsiveness and transparency, with the OHSU Administration,
iv. The Student Council spends less than our budget each year. The
full amount of the ski trip should be included in the initial budget.
v. Charlie believes the OHSU Administration will continue to respond
to our concerns over incidental fees.
g. Budget:
i. Halloween & Ski Trip fully budgeted and allocated; Kristin brought
up the question of putting the down payment down on Sunriver
now instead of later, since in the past this part of the planning has
been more last minute; the response was: if we pay now, it will
come out of this year¶s budget, whereas if we pay in the summer,
it will come out of next year¶s academic budget
ii. We also get $14k in student payments
iii. Budgetary categories are less movable than we thought
iv. Budget for hosting groups and guests much higher than
expenditures, so there is money available for other social funding
requests; e.g. feel free to encourage students to request funds to
assist with character- and community-building social events
v. Category for monies available for charitable contributions
(community outreach)
vi. *Incidental Fees:*
1. Reserves over $1mm/yr
 2. The Oregon Higher Board of Education says this money is
for the cultural and developmental experiences for
students
3. The question was raised: ³What is a realistic good use for
it?´
4. Kirsten brought up the idea of looking into spending it on
³big projects to build a legacy for student life,´ given we
don¶t often have access to this magnitude of funding.
h. Legislative Update (Kirsten Williams, Rae Seltzer):
i. Student Policy Workshop (SPW): Saturday, January 22, SoN
Room 144, 9:30am-3:30pm
