OLD HEADLINES 2004

Below, in reverse chronological order from the date of posting, are the archived news headlines that have appeared on the GSG homepage.

Princeton Experience Survey·November 2004

    In March 2003, the University performed a survey of both the undergraduate classes 2003 and 2005 and of graduate students. The goal of the Princeton Experience Survey was to address extracurricular and academic life issues for Princeton students. Including the students who took the survey in 2001, 893 graduate students filled out the survey. Note: all Black and Hispanic students participated; only ten students were post-enrolled. The results were made public at the November 8th CPUC meeting. You can access a PDF version of the Princeton Experience Survey results for graduate students here.

Potential changes to the GSG Election By-laws · October 2004

A proposed version of the changes was formally presented to Assembly for approval during our October meeting. A text version of this proposal is available here. This proposal was tabled until our November meeting to incorporate changes suggested by Assembly members. Parliamentary Secretary Jack Tinsley has organized a committee to work on changes to the proposal. Please refer to the August, September and the forthcoming October minutes for more details.

Proposed Funding Schedule · January 22, 2004

    The GSG Assembly has recently been challenged by the difficulty of trying to cosponsor an ever-increasing slate of graduate student-run events with a normal annual budget, as opposed to the past few years when irregular surpluses swelled the co-sponsorship budget. The tendency to fund generously suggests that we may deplete that budget before the end of the fiscal year, and some Assembly members have called for more planning. Assembly has discussed whether creating a more regulated funding application schedule would help Assembly decide how to best allocate funds, as well as conserving the time spent discussing funding requests during meetings.

    This new schedule would take effect on March 2004, and funding requests for events from March to June would be filed so as to be discussed in the February meeting.

    For more details please see: Proposed Funding Schedule
