On Monday, April 18th, 2016, the UMBC SGA Senate passed the Stipend Review Committee legislation.
The Stipend Review Committee (SRC) is a new accountability system beginning next academic year that will ensure each SGA officer who receives a stipend is completing the job you, the students, hired them for. Twice a semester, the SRC will determine if each SGA officer who receives a stipend should receive either their full stipend, or half of their stipend, for that particular pay period.
The SRC will not act as a grounds for impeachment if a member does not receive their stipend - however, it may prompt for further investigation from other members in the SGA. All decisions made by the SRC will be made publicly available via the new SGA website and the SGA group on myUMBC.
The SRC consists of 2 Senators, 2 Finance Board Members, 2 representatives from the Executive Branch (Executive Vice President, Treasurer, Vice President of Student Organizations, Cabinet Members, etc.), and the SGA Advisor. With the exception of the SGA advisor, SRC members have a 1 semester term limit.
The SRC is groundbreaking legislation between the Senate, the Finance Board, and the student body here at UMBC.
The Senate would like to thank Josh Massey and Collin Sullivan for their work drafting this legislation.

SGA Senate Passes Just Food Resolution
On Monday, April 18th, 2016, the UMBC SGA Senate passed the Just Food resolution that supports the Real Food Campus commitment. Just Food has been working the past two years to establish Real food on campus and is looking to establish a relationship with student government in order to reflect the student voice at UMBC.
Real food is defined as local, organic, humane, and fair. Just Food UMBC stances are:
Purpose: To promote a sustainable and just food system at UMBC by connecting our campus dining to the local agricultural community.
Goal: By 2020, reallocate 20% of our University food budget to food that is organically grown without harmful chemicals, located within 250 miles of our campus, operate on fair trade agreements, and/or raise and kill animals humanely. Provide students with the agency to work with UMBC dining services to maintain these new standards.
The national average for campuses for Real food is 3-7%. 20% is negotiable and hinges on the results of the invoice audit. While the earliest the audit could be concluded is the end of Fall 2016, we will also have a helpful estimate through Towson’s team at the end of Spring 2016. Towson is also a Chartwells school. We are hoping with our efforts along with this resolution of student support to aid us in acquiring the dining audit in order to move forward in our goal of 20% Real Food on campus.
The resolution shows support to Just Food’s initiative and creates solidarity among student body. This resolution along with survey responses from Just Food and building relationships with Dining Services will enable us to move forward and urge President Freeman Hrabowski to sign the Real Food Campus commitment.
The Senate would like to thank Senator Rebecca Postowski for her work drafting this resolution.

In the aftermath of the death of Freddie Gray in April 2015, we need conversations that bring together a variety of voices and communities to address the intersections of poverty, race, ethnicity, and gender and help create new stories about Baltimore. This event will highlight Baltimore communities and stories through conversations about the past, present, and future of the city. Participants will explore questions about equity, identity, immigration, and belonging and discuss how residents' experiences are shaped in and through their neighborhoods. After the conversation, participants can also learn how to use digital storytelling as a way to record and disseminate their voices.

SGA Stipend Review Committee Proposal - Call for Feedback
A new accountability system being considered for next year
SGA is looking to implement a new accountability system beginning next academic year - the Stipend Review Committee (SRC). Proposed by Senators Josh Massey and Collin Sullivan, the SRC will ensure each SGA officer who receives a stipend is completing the job you, the students, hired them for. The SRC will not act as a grounds for impeachment if a member does not receive their stipend - however, it may prompt for further investigation from other members in the SGA. All decisions made by the SRC will be made publicly available via
the new SGA website and the
SGA group on myUMBC.
After a few weeks of discussions with the SGA Senate and Finance Board, we are opening this up to the student body for review. We would love to hear feedback from you regarding this new system. Please review
this one-pager about the SRC, and feel free to make comments on the document, or in the comments section below.
Thank you for your continued commitment to making SGA great at UMBC!
