Meeting Notes

Oct. 21, 2011 - Key Highlights

• The Vice President for Student Life reported on the college’s Student Code of Conduct, disciplinary procedures, and interventions utilized to educate and hold students accountable for their behavior on and off campus. It was discussed that each fall there is a period of setting the tone, and educating new students about expectations and consequences. She also advised that those interested in the college’s crime statistics should visit the official federal web site.
• The college introduced a new pilot program involving two student Community Assistants who live off campus, and will be seeking ways to work with off campus students and the local community. Events planned include assisting with the annual Halloween party at the fire house on Oct. 31 and sponsoring a village clean up on the morning after Halloween. Upcoming programs include educating students about the Dec. parking rules change and a holiday decorating contest for off campus students.
• The O’Connor Center for Community Engagement Coordinator reported that over 1000 hours of service have been completed so far this semester, much of it involving direct flood relief activities.
• The college hosted the extension of the Delhi Farmer’s Market through October in the Farrell Center, and sponsored a local foods dinner. The campus Barnes and Noble store is featuring local products, and it is anticipated that SUNY Delhi merchandise will soon be available through Main Street Cards and Gifts.
• Village Trustee Pilgrim stressed the need for enhanced communication between the college and village. Students suggested that they would like to see the college’s campus paper, the Campus Voice, distributed in the village so the Community Assistants will work on this project.
• The college’s rental listing was discussed, and the code enforcement officer noted that he should be notified in the case of any substandard housing. It was reported that there appears to be an increase in student rental vacancies in the village this fall.
• Chief Mills and others felt that the landlords in the village were responding to violation notices, and that there have been very few repeat violations.
• College enrollment was reviewed, and it was noted that most growth has occurred off site and online. Over the last few years there has been an on campus enrollment increase of 195, and the college has added a total of 175 beds between Riverview Townhouses, and traditional housing.
• The speed limit on Route 10 near the college’s south entrance has been reduced to 35 mph and a new crosswalk with flashing lights has been installed at the bottom of the college stairwell on Route 10. Both of these changes will greatly improve pedestrian safety.
