[HSU-CoordBoardInternal] Town Meeting

Wed Feb 12 17:00:36 EST 2014

Sam,

First, let me make it clear that I am speaking as a community member, not
as a CoordBoard member in this moment.

Unfortunately, I cannot decipher what the sentence "I am pretty sure
that Quoting
Breonna Mabry our stipend proposal was supposed to be done at this town
meeting," is supposed to mean. Your grammar is incomprehensible. Please
rephrase your statement such that is it useful to CoordBoard and myself.

The concerns which you refer to in your email sent at 12:29pm are relevant,
however they were not your original concerns. Your original concerns, as
outlined in your original email are explicitly trivial and misguided.

In regards to your most recent email, if you refer to our minutes you will
find that the crafting of a smoking proposal from the student body using
qualtrix requires very specific coding which is very time consuming. Due to
this, the ballot has not gone out in the same time frame as past ballots.
We've been working on the ballot diligently in attempts to make it as
accessible and comprehensive as possible.  In addition, the Town Meeting
that was supposed to occur on the 13th was pushed back due to poor
advertising due to a lack of items on the agenda. Several parties proposed
items to be on the agenda, but failed to submit a fully vetted proposal
that CoordBoard could approve (i.e. fundcom). How do you propose CoordBoard
advertise a Town Meeting with no agenda items? It is not our job to
"create" agenda items for community discussion, it is simply our job to
provide a space for said discussion and facilitate it. Town Meeting has
been pushed back to allow student's and other community members more time
to submit proposals.

If you have no suggestions as to how CoordBoard can better serve you or the
Hampshire community, and are incapable of putting on a Town Meeting that
isn't "occurring badly" yourself, please refrain from needlessly attacking
us.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact
CoordBoard at hampshire.edu or me directly at breonna.mabry at gmail.com.

Best,

Bree Mabry
