ASI unanimously passed four measures Monday at their Board of Directors meeting. The meeting, which is usually every other Wednesday, was moved up due to the impending Sacramento State presidential announcement.

Two resolutions passed without discussion. The first, written by Postbaccalaureate Director Mohamed Hamada, allotted $700 to be given to the College of Engineering and Computer Science to co-sponsor their career fair.

The second resolution dealt with the controversial contract with San Diego-based web designer Six-One-Nine. The resolution, drafted by Natural Sciences and Math Director Lorraine Armijos, cited differences in ideas between ASI and Six-One-Nine and severed ties between the two. It also left the reins of the unfinished ASI website in the hands of Sonny Ramsay.

The Board also unanimously passed a resolution to seek being involved in the policy-making process regarding the Patriot Act and students’ rights in the face of federal pressure. –

According to resolution author and ASI President Eric Guerra, other governmental organizations have taken similar actions to defend their constituencies. Guerra’s bill, entitled “Resolution To Defend The Civil Rights and Liberties of The Students of CSU, Sacramento,” would allow ASI to educate students of their rights in the face of garnered federal investigation with the war on terrorism in full effect.

Guerra authored a second resolution that was passed without dissension.The resolution established ASI’s support for a campus convocation regarding the Iraqi situation.

Guerra cited the need for greater education of the outside world for students and faculty at Sac State.
