On Monday, the Youngstown State University Student Government Association's University Affairs Committee discussed members' work with Facilities to ensure all YSU buildings meet the code set by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The committee has been working with Facilities to make sure that all buildings at YSU are up to code for disabled students according to the Americans with Disabilities Act. The committee plans to compile a report and present it to the department for any needed changes.
Mid-April, the committee plans to hold their annual clean up day at the Wick-Pollock Gardens, next to the Wick-Pollock Inn. The members will beautify the grounds by planting flowers and eliminating trash. The University Affairs Committee plans to extend this opportunity to all students who wish to volunteer.
The comparison is still under way regarding the new e-mail system for YSU students. Now in consideration is Live@edu, powered by Microsoft. The committee is weighing all options offered by both Gmail and Live@edu to determine which provides accessibility and overall sustainability as students move into the workplace. The committee is working on a way to get students involved in the decision making process.
The ad hoc committee created to handle Haiti relief met immediately following the committee meetings. The fundraising turned from raising money at an athletic event to hosting a banquet dinner with a raffle and possibly a silent auction. Members of the Haiti relief committee will be contacting local businesses and officials to see if they intend to donate to this event.
