"When it comes down to it, most of the transportation issues discussed are budgetary issues. Students are looking for more services in this time of fiscal conservatism not only in Brandeis but worldwide, so we are concentrating more on maximizing the systems we have," he said.
"We are looking at systems we have in place and we will see if things can be more efficient," he continued, "but there are no promises about the expansion of transportation due to budget concerns."
The committee decided to keep in place the existing housing selection process for this year's upcoming room selection, with the only addition being the newly built Ridgewood suite-style dorms. The issue of space efficiency for club meetings and storage was only lightly discussed and was mostly postponed due to the committee's time constraints.
The committee is eager to meet again next semester to tackle pressing issues, according to Director of Executive Affairs Jess Blumberg '09. While a specific agenda has not yet been set for the next meeting, a number of topics are being considered, including quiet hours and school spirit, as well as the general process of policymaking on campus issues that arise.
"There is so much more we have to discuss," Blumberg said. "It was a great beginning, but it is only the beginning."
