Oscar: Also, having a dining meeting next Tuesday and will be sending email out. Found a vegan representative.
CONSTITUTION
Elliott: For the amendments to the Constitution to pass, we need a ⅘ vote today and a ⅘ vote another time such as next week. Problems with the current Constitution include static structure, convoluted funding hierarchy, faculty committee representatives, voting rights, amending Constitution. The new structure would include four branches while the General Assembly and Executive Board remain similar; the Student Government Treasury would be a new branch. Will have a blind vote via Menti. 25 people are present tonight so need 20 to pass.

SPRING BREAK SHUTTLE
Vincent: Decided on getting a 34-person vehicle to leave at 9am and a 56-person charter bus to leave at 1pm on Friday, 3/7. Also, two Bowdoin vans will leave at 7am and 1pm on Saturday, 3/8. There were the most optimal times to transport the greatest amount of people based on the survey responses.
Elliott: We received 91 responses, with 75 students heading to the jetport. The shuttle will be transported only to the jetport. This will cost $300 less according to the quote we were given.
