Associated Students, Inc. board members approved a resolution Friday establishing a potential housing plan for students, but killed measures regarding Greek involvement on the board and non- resident tuition.

The resolution implementing an ASI housing plan, authored by California State Student Representative Brandon Kline, passed unanimously.

The plan, which will work with State Assembly Bill 1611 to establish funds for building housing, will specifically be an ASI project and won?t be affiliated with the campus Housing and Residential Life program.

“The next step will be a long investigative process and to see what our next steps will be,” Kline said.

Also during the meeting, ASI President Artemio Pimentel withdrew a resolution in support of non-resident tuition.

“The governor signed the bill already,” Pimentel said. “We withdrew it because it no longer needed our endorsement.”

Effective Jan. 1, 2002, the new legislation will allow resident aliens who have completed at least three years of high school in California to pay in-state tuition.

“With this in effect, it would allow for more children of immigrants to pay resident fees. We as an organization are in full support; we believe it is an excellent bill that would aid many families in the state of California,” Pimentel said. “This will help promote higher education in areas of lower economic classes, so we will continue to see an increase of students in the CSU system.”

The Board also considered adding two non-voting members representing the Greek community, but the measure failed.

“It did not pass because the legislation was poorly written,” Kline said. “There was no clear plan for this, and if the drafters of the legislation want to see this again, they have to go back to the drawing board.”

Kline said having fraternity and sorority members on the board would add to the diversity of ASI, but added he didn?t think there is much interest as far as the Greeks are concerned.

“I don?t think the Greek community cares about this, or else more people would have been at the meeting to help support it,” Kline said.
