GSO Meeting Minutes
[01/27/23]
Attendance: Ashley, Nageeb, Riley, David, 2 students on Zoom, and 6 students in person
Updates
Outreach event last weekend went pretty well! The girl scouts want to do an outreach event every semester since it went so well.
Classes started… and the elevator is broken… Ashley has reached out to the front office people about fixing it, since it is the one for accessibility. Facility services are dragging their feet…
Same with the mold issue outside the freight elevator, and some office ceilings have mold. Nobody has come to fix this, It is unsafe!
Two of the bathrooms have mold to the point where ceiling tiles are collapsing (men’s restroom on second floor near office, and one on first floor underneath the lounge)
If you see something like this, please take pictures so that we have evidence
