A week ago today the Student Association General Assembly took under consideration two pieces of legislation that I proposed. The first was a resolution committing the General Assembly to support the efforts of the winners of the Campus Movie Fest to continue competing with their film in Cannes France at the world renown film festival held there. The Student Association will be sending out two list serv emails encouraging people to support these five person team financial in an attempt to offset the incredible cost associated with this trip. If you would like to donate please click on the following link or email me at 60winn@cua.edu http://jkhincannes.blogspot.com/

The second piece of legislation that I authored and was subsequently passed into law made it mandatory for all SFAB allocations to be public within five academic days. Furthermore my bill required SFAB to create an internet resource that will allow any student to keep up to date on how THEIR money is being spent.

Winn's Words
Some quotes from this past year:
“Ideally I’d like to remove visitation hours, but I don’t think that’s going to happen, so we have to find a way to make it easier to study that administration will accept,”
“I know a lot of students who have showed up, and just got railroaded, because they just didn’t know what was going on. In a court, at least you have someone on your side, and maybe we can get at least some information out”
“Our job is to educate kids on campus about this. It is a serious problem. But at the same time we don’t want to be bar police. I don’t think it’s our job to tell people where they can and cannot go. Let’s get the information out there, but let’s not try to become some moral authority. We’re here to keep kids safe, but we’re not here to judge them.”
"The inspiration behind this is to increase transparency and let them know what we are planning so that we are not only getting people on board with our initiatives, but also allowing them to hold us accountable."
