4 Recognition

4.1 Fire Spinning Club
First, they would need to go back to EHS for additional safety issues
talk to Aerie (who got stuck in the safety/space issues)
More overlap with Juggling, at least in name
Would need to re-apply

4.2 AKPsi
The Board is still in agreement, talk about times for the requested meeting after the meeting

4.3 QUSP
Rachel will reply to their email and meet to get more information. As it stands, questionable whether it is significantly distinct from existing groups.


5 W20-439
Short term: Anime is using one of the a cappella cabinets and moving stuff around to try to find
a workable arrangement, LMC locker will be moved to 437 or 441
Longer term: meet again, discuss how things have been going, what options there are
LMC locker move approved


6 Derecognition
Rachel emailed about a couple, there will be a lot more
SAVE (old undergrad environmental group) - was combined into Sustainability@MIT, was derecognized a couple years ago in theory, but not in the Database
SSO (Saudi Students) - old-provisional group, no current contact info when we tried to get in touch about status conversion


7 Non-discrimination
Conversation by email from Abigail
In general: would a form be appropriate? doesn't seem like it, but more publicity reminders/reinforcement would be a good idea
Discrimination case: we need info, we can handle these on a case-by-case basis (depends on what the issue is, scope of the issue, etc.)


8 CEER (China Energy)
Email about where they currently get funding, their budgets for events already seem fairly high.


9 Website
Rachel shows group listing options on TV (mostly just to use the TV)
Consensus: just descriptions, no meeting times - more accurate


10 Adjournment

The meeting was adjourned at 6:31 pm.


Respectfully submitted,
Rachel Meyer
ASA Secretary
