Overview of FAQ on student gov site

  • Why are there so many Listservs?
  • Because it keeps the student body up to date on events that go on on-campus
  • How do I remove myself from the listserv?
  • Respond to the announcement listserv with the subject “request to remove”, and state “Please remove me from the listserv”
  • How do I add myself to the Listserv
  • Email Michael Russell or the Listserv email
  • Why doesn’t my wifi work?
  • We got new equipment at the beginning of the year that helped to address those issues.
  • Internet routers that students bring interrupts the signals – that is why the internet is slow!
  • Parking ramp?
  • Maintenance, higher charges, slows down traffic
  • Why are there no busses on Sunday?
  • That is up to MATbus
  • Possibly a senator project? Have senator set up meeting with MATbus
  • How

Asha- Instructor computers do not have access to software in the STEM building (room 110), so instructors do not have access to the software and cannot teach the material as well.

  • Michael is going to email Mike about it
  • Possibly have tech help in there for the semester?

If campus attractions have late events, why do the busses only go until 10:30?

  • Possibly talk to MATbus and campus attractions about having a shuttle on these nights

Look into on-campus taxi/shuttle system.

Look into combining on campus escort service with a shuttle service.

Contact Mike Ellingson on keeping the STEM building open on weekends – students are very interested
