2 Section 1: Narrative The Minnesota Student Association (MSA) is the undergraduate student government at the Twin Cities Campus. The membership includes all of the approximately 28,000 registered undergraduate students at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. MSA actively represents its constituency through interaction with the Board of Regents, the University of Minnesota administration, faculty and staff, media outlets, student groups, surrounding communities, as well as the City Council and the Minnesota State Legislature. Brief summary of organization history, including date of establishment The Undergraduate Student Government has existed since the formation of the All University Student Council in In 1959, student government was reorganized into the Minnesota Student Association. The new face of student government roughly parallels our current system including a system-wide Student Senate populated by academic senators and an MSA Forum composed of student group representatives. In the 1970s, during national student upheaval, MSA changed names three times and disbanded twice. However, in the 1980s, the students reunited as the Minnesota Student Association and the Senate was incorporated into the University Senate. In 1990, Graduate and Professional students left the Minnesota Student Association and created the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly (GAPSA) to better represent the unique concerns and needs of their constituency. After the MSA/GAPSA split, student government began to lose focus in many aspects of its original mission. Over the past few years MSA has rebuilt its credibility, and as this application will prove, is the strongest it has ever been. The school year has been a particularly successful year as MSA has increased advocacy efforts and expanded programming. Organization mission / vision statements, inclusive of organizational goals Mission / Vision Statement The formal mission statement of our organization is as follows: 1. To effectively advocate for the needs of the undergraduate students on the Twin Cities Campus to all stakeholders of the University of Minnesota; 2. To facilitate communication and cooperation between all student groups. 3. To provide an accessible Forum for the discussion of issues affecting undergraduate students; 4. To present an environment that substantially contributes towards the education of students through active participation; 5. To inspire school spirit, campus community, and a great pride for a student s affiliation with the University of Minnesota. Goals The Minnesota Student Association has worked tirelessly to create programs and services that enrich the lives of the student populace in accordance with our mission statement. Maintaining a professional, well-organized governmental system provides the foundation to realize these programs and services. This year there has also been an increased emphasis upon presenting a unified student voice through strong advocacy to the University administration, as well as local and state government. Our goal is to continue to emphasize MSA s duty to act as the student body s representative organization. MSA strives to create a sense of campus community through advocacy and continued service programming.

3 Breakdown of Goals Make the Minnesota Student Association a professionally-run and well-organized governmental system, and strive to be a model for student government on other campuses. 1. Encourage members of Forum to be active in debate, discussions, committees, and projects. 2. Foster a healthy working relationship between MSA leaders, staff, and constituents. 3. Follow up on resolutions and position statements passed by MSA Forum. 4. Conduct regular meetings with the University administration. 5. Retain current Forum members and attract new members by maintaining interest and fostering relevant discussion. 6. Maintain consistent internal office policy. 7. Enforce effective transitions between outgoing and incoming Executive Board and Steering Committee members in April and May. 8. Model our most successful and visible efforts for other U of M coordinate campuses, i.e. the Legislative Certificate Program, Voluntary Tax Assistance Program. 9. Serve as the umbrella organization for student groups. Make the Minnesota Student Association and its resources more visible to students. 1. Increase student group participation by reaching out to them to inform them on how to become an active member in MSA. Last year, MSA lowered the student group minimum from thirty (30) to fifteen (15) members. 2. Be transparent by making all meeting minutes, position statements, and resolutions available on the website. 3. Require office hours of MSA leaders and staff that are able to answer to questions of any student who visits the office. 4. Sponsor, co-sponsor, or participate in events that are well-attended by students and represent MSA ideals, such as: walking in the Homecoming Parade, participating in Welcome Week, working with the Career and Community Learning Center in the Community Involvement Fair, and helping to fund events hosted by other student groups. 5. Publish a concise MSA brochure to be handed out in the office, at all MSA events, and around campus. 6. Devote funds to large-scale advertising, i.e. Social networking, website development. 7. Host a networking and round table event called the Leadership Reception for all current student group officers. Increase emphasis on presenting a unified student voice through strong advocacy to the University administration, as well as local and state government. 1. Coordinate the annual Support the U Day, the University s annual lobby day at the Minnesota State Capitol. This year s theme is Rally to Restore Affordability. 2. Maintain and expand the Legislative Certificate Program. 3. Clarify, for interested students, the University s budget process and request to the State Legislature. 4. Maintain a constant presence at the Minnesota Legislature during discussion of critical measures related to the University and higher education.

4 Create a stronger campus community Continue to advertise the Grant Program, with an emphasis on student group partnership. Promote new student group formations through the creation of Operational Budget Grants (OBG) Reach out to student groups through student leader meetings, event partnerships, and invitation to Forum membership. Describe your organization s relationship with organizations of like mission The Minnesota Student Association is actively engaged with other student groups of a like mission. MSA is in constant communication with the Student Senate Consultative Committee (SSCC), which elects a member to serve on the MSA Executive Board. Furthermore, students who serve on Student Senate are mandated to serve on MSA, which ensures collaboration between the representative bodies of all University students. Over the course of the past year, MSA and Student Senate have worked together to build a unified student legislative platform (described later) to be used in the 2011 State Legislative Session. MSA also works with GAPSA on various projects. Together, these two student governments at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities campus continue to explore all options to ensure that the student voice is heard in discussions concerning tuition, student advocacy and the legislative platform, and light rail transit, among other issues. Also, the two organizations are working to streamline bylaws to allow for efficient cooperation, most notably this year by working to strengthen measures regarding student representation to the Board of Regents. To accomplish these goals, MSA and GAPSA hold joint Forums each semester and conduct meetings when issues arise that affect both constituencies. Finally, MSA currently has twenty (20) student group representatives. Any student group with at least fifteen (15) members may elect a representative to serve on MSA Forum. Illustrate the need for your organization within the university community, inclusive of how your organization meets this need The Minnesota Student Association is a necessity to the undergraduate students at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities campus for several reasons. First, every undergraduate is a member of MSA. Although only elected members may vote during Forum, all undergraduates may attend Forum, committee meetings, MSA Executive Board and Steering Committee meetings. Any student may be yielded time to speak at all of these meetings, and thus can directly impact the deliberative process. Second, University governance, administrators, faculty and staff, and the media are provided with a representative student opinion due to the diversity of the MSA Forum. Thus, it is essential that a student government such as MSA exists for students to express their views openly and to organize cogent responses to particular issues. Third, MSA is equipped with the personnel, relationships, and resources to coordinate large-scale events, educational programming, and facilitate discussions and cooperation between entire student groups. Student government provides a valuable outlet that allows students to take advantage of opportunities to begin initiatives that they find important for the University community. Undergraduate students on the Twin Cities Campus benefit from the Minnesota Student

5 Association in several areas: advocacy, programming, and educational and leadership development. Advocacy The Minnesota Student Association is the undergraduate voice to administrators, the Board of Regents, and city and state officials. After Forum votes on position statements and resolutions, they are formally taken to and discussed with the respective officials. On January 25 th, 2011, MSA will pass a resolution outlining a unified student legislative platform that will cover specific issues that concern students. These issues will be voted upon after the submitted date of January 21, 2011 and will be addressed at the time of the MSA fees presentation. (See attachment for tentative platform) Members of the University administration, including President Bruiniks and the Board of Regents, have all been made formally aware of the platform, and MSA continues to constructively work with administrators, Student and University Senate, media, and the State Legislature to obtain these goals on behalf of the student body. Two years ago, MSA established the Legislative Certificate Program (LCP), which trains approximately fifteen (15) undergraduate students to advocate on behalf of their University peers at State Capitol during the legislative session. This is done via the development of a lobbying platform that is utilized to deliver a concise and effective message to legislators throughout the session and at the University s annual student lobby day, which is organized by MSA s Legislative Affairs Committee MSA actively advocates for students in the community, making sure that students are represented and have a voice on further issues, such as housing, renter s rights, and renter application fees through MSA s Renter s Guide survey issued each year and through representation on various neighborhood associations. Programming A large portion of the Minnesota Student Association s budget is allocated towards programming in Through the Event Grant and Operational Budget Grant Committee, MSA returns $58,000 to student groups to assist with the financial burden of their events, which promote diverse ideals. This is a $39,000 increase from the previous year s Grant funding. Grants are given to any student group, as long as events are free and open to all students, and that the event promotes diversity. Furthermore, the criteria for grants have been changed over the past two years to allow a maximum of $900 to single student groups who put on an event, and a maximum of $1800 to student groups who partner with other student groups on an event, which promotes community involvement and unity. In accordance with the recommendations made by the Fees Committee in the Spring of 2010, MSA has decided no longer to support the Lend-a-Hand, Hear the Band program. This funding has gone toward the formation of an alternate program with the similar aim of increasing student involvement in the community. This year MSA has explored various options and will be voting on the proposed partnership with Habitat for Humanity.

6 In , MSA has also greatly expanded its Tax Program. MSA, in partnership with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Minnesota Department of Revenue, will provide federal and state tax preparation services to students and local residents who have an annual income of less than $40,000. Last year, the program had twenty-two (22) preparers. This year, the program has increased to fifty (50) preparers, including eight (8) coordinators and twelve (12) quality reviewers. Volunteer preparers are University of Minnesota students in accountingrelated degree programs. During the fall semester of 2008, MSA developed and implemented the Legislative Certificate Program (LCP). In , ten (10) students were selected through an application process and underwent training to effectively advocate for University of Minnesota students and student interests at the State Legislature. In , the program was expanded to fifteen (15) advocates, which is remains today. Their experience and leadership training ensure that future leaders in MSA will be well qualified and efficient in their roles. The Legislative Certificate Program is a great asset to the student body and has gained attention from elected state officials, the University administration, and other student governments. After learning of the program and its potential to affect change for the student body, GAPSA pieced together its own version, modeled on MSA s success. This program alone has distinguished MSA as a student government with foresight and focus when representing the student body. This year, the program is driven by the MSA Legislative Platform, which increases its efficacy. LCP has also been approved for internship credit with the Department of Political Science. MSA also manages the Renter s Survey. The purpose of the Renter's Survey is to gather information on local rental units in which members of the University community live. MSA then compiles the data in order to rank the unites so that the members of the University community, specifically students, know the reputation of a property before committing to a lease. MSA's goal is to improve the living conditions in the surrounding communities and make sure that students are not being taken advantage of by landlords. Both the data processing and publishing costs are covered in the budget portion of the fees request. Education and Leadership Development Active participants in the Minnesota Student Association will attest to the educational and leadership opportunities that it offers, as MSA is an entirely student-run, student driven organization. MSA provides students with leadership opportunities through appointments to various boards and committees, such as: the Board of Regents, the Student Union and Activities Board of Governors, the University Dining Services Advisory Board, the Light-Rail Transit Committee, various neighborhood associations, the Office of Student Affairs Advisory Board, the Advancing Excellence Steering Committee, the Recreational Sports Advisory Committee, the University of Minnesota Alumni Association, Housing and Residential Life, Student and Community Relations, the Southeast Como Improvement Association, Restorative Justice Community Action, the Student Health Advisory Committee, and the University District Alliance.

7 The MSA office also provides educational tools for all students to use. Examples include: minutes from the Board of Regents meetings, outlines of the University bonding and biennial budget requests, information about political and student government campaigning on campus, information on registering to vote in elections, information regarding the fees process, information on renting and renter s rights, information about volunteering and campus involvement, and much more. As further aforementioned leadership opportunities, MSA provides the free tax program, which trains fifty student volunteers to teach their peers how to file their state and federal taxes, as well as the Legislative Certificate Program, which trains fifteen student volunteers to advocate for their peers at the State Legislature. LCP has also been approved for internship credit with the Department of Political Science. Describe student involvement within your organization Students Governing Students The Minnesota Student Association is a 100% student-run organization that is directly accountable to all undergraduate students. The structure benefits students by maximizing the availability of compensated and volunteer positions while achieving the same results as a professionally run non-profit organization. Student Employment Opportunities The Minnesota Student Association employs five (5) part-time students: one (1) chief of staff, one (1) chief financial officer, and one (1) director of strategic communications, two (2) Legislative Certificate Program Coordinator and (1) director of outreach. By maintaining a paid staff, MSA can ensure an effective communication process with students and administration, in addition to professional operational results. Elected Positions Currently there are seventy-one (71) elected positions on Forum: twenty (20) student group representatives, twenty (20) at-large representatives, twenty-five (25) Student Senators, one (1) ex-officio member, two (2) Representatives to the Board of Regents, and two (2) executive members. Committees Currently, there are five (5) standing committees and one (1) ad hoc committee in MSA, not including the Executive Board and Steering Committee. Academics and Services Campus Relations Grants Facilities, Housing, and Transit Legislative Affairs Every member of Forum is required to serve on a committee, to which they are appointed by the Vice President. The committee meetings, as well as the Executive Board and Steering Committee meetings, are open to all undergraduates. We currently have several non-elected students

8 attending committee meetings, as well as Forum. Section 2: Organizational Chart Minnesota Student Association MSA Leadership Forum Executive Board President Vice President Speaker of Forum Ranking Representative to the Board of Regents Steering Committee Vice President Speaker of Forum Committee Chairs At-Large Members Student Senators Student Group Representatives Ex-Officio (Non- Voting) Members At-Large Representative from Forum Ranking Representative from the SSCC Section 3: Performance Report *NOTE: The Minnesota Student Association is the Undergraduate Student Body Government on the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities campus and unlike any other student group on campus. Forum is comprised of Senators from all fourteen (14) colleges, residence halls, Greek councils, student groups, and at-large representatives. Because of the diverse background of the membership, MSA is the most accurate representation of the student body on campus. Increased Room Usage Quoted from a report prepared for and given to MSA by Student Unions and Activities and the Board of Governors: To assist in the student organization space allocation, space checks are conducted to assess usage of the office space. As outlined in the Student Unions and Activities

9 Student Groups Office Space Allocation Procedure, office spaces larger than 300 square feet are expected to maintain a minimum usage of 30 hours per week, or 50% of possible times checked. Office spaces less than 300 square feet and cubical spaces are expected to maintain a minimum of 15 hours per week, or 25% of possible times checked. For the period between September 2009 and May 2010, [MSA s] space usage has met or exceeded the minimum requirement with over 60% usage. Thus maintaining the significant increase of approximately 20% from fall semester Membership Total MSA membership from Fall 2010 is sixty-six (66). High Average Attendance Fall 2010 attendance numbers the combination of Forum meetings and committee meetings have been totaled and averaged. MSA currently has an average attendance rate of approximately 85%. Section 4: Reserve Accounts Any student group reserve accounts must be listed and described. Include the following: Name of the account- Certificate of Deposit Current amount in the account- $17,000 Purpose of the account- According to our bylaws a ten percent operational reserve must be kept. Section 5: Fees Request Total Request The Minnesota Student Association asks for $140, in Student Service Fees. This is roughly the same as last year s fees request. The Minnesota Student Association is not formally in operation during the summer months, and will budget any summer expenses (utilities, etc.) into the Spring budget. Grants The Grants Committee is committed to supporting student groups through two types of grants. The first type is MSA s Event Grants, which are used to fund student group events. A maximum grant of $900 is given for single student group events, and $1,800 is given for student groups that partner with at least one other group on an event. The other type of grants is the newly created Operating Budget Grants (OBG), which are meant to provide groups that don t receive, or aren t eligible to receive, student service fees an opportunity to gain funding for non-event group activities. OBG recepients are eligible to receive up to $600 each school year. The spirit of the grants is for MSA to establish a strong relationship with and foster a sense of community between student groups and to help increase the number of groups on campus through the OBG. Some of the events funded this year include: Red Spots, a multi-day event, co-hosted by the African Student Association, Circle of Giving, and a multitude of other groups that raised awareness about AIDS in Africa and what can be done about it. The event, attended by almost 300 students, featured speakers, discussions, and ways to get involved.

10 Halloween Tournament, hosted by the University Quidditch League, was a round robin style tournament held in front of Coffman Memorial Union featuring the most magical sport on campus: quidditch, straight from the world of Harry Potter. With about 150 attendees, spectators were treated to an incredibly competitive tournament and were able to learn about ways to get involved in the newest sport on campus. Diwali Mela, a celebration of the Indian festival Diwali hosted by Bharat, featured traditional food, music, dance, and dress in the Great Hall of Coffman Memorial Union. Attended by about 800 people, the event broadened horizons and allowed students to learn more about Indian culture Legislative Certificate Program During the fall semester of 2008, MSA developed and implemented the Legislative Certificate Program (LCP). In , ten (10) students were selected through an application process and underwent training to effectively advocate for University of Minnesota student interests at the State Legislature. In , the program was expanded to fifteen (15) advocates and that amount has remained through the school year. Their experience and leadership training ensure that future leaders in MSA will be well-qualified and efficient in their roles. The Legislative Certificate Program is a great asset to the student body and has gained attention from elected state officials, the University administration, and other student governments. After learning of the program and its potential to affect change for the student body, GAPSA pieced together its own version, modeled on MSA s success. This program alone has distinguished MSA as a student government with foresight and focus when representing the student body. This year, the program is driven by the MSA Legislative Platform, which increases its efficacy. LCP has also been approved for internship credit with the Department of Political Science. Renter s Survey and Guide The purpose of the Renter's Survey is to gather information on local rental units in which members of the University community live. MSA then compiles the data in order to rank the units so that the members of the University community, specifically students, know the reputation of a property before committing to a lease. MSA's goal is to improve the living conditions in the surrounding communities and make sure that students are not being taken advantage of by landlords. Both the data processing and publishing costs are covered in the budget portion of the fees request. Support the U Day (Rally to Restore Affordability) Support the U Day is the University's annual lobby day, organized by MSA, the main focus of which is getting students involved at the State Legislature. This year, the Legislative Certificate Program will partner with the MSA Legislative Affairs Committee and other MSA leaders to provide students with the tools to approach and lobby legislators effectively on behalf of the University of Minnesota. The event presents an effective and unique presence at the Legislature as a result of the joint advocacy efforts of MSA and the University's coordinate campuses. Tax Program MSA, in partnership with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Minnesota Department of

11 Revenue, will provide federal and state tax preparation services to students and local residents who have an annual income of less than $40,000. Last year, the program had twenty-two (22) preparers. This year, the program has increased to fifty (50) preparers, including eight (8) coordinators and twelve (12) quality reviewers. Volunteer preparers are University of Minnesota students in accounting-related degree programs. Participation These previously mentioned events and programs take a large amount of time commitment in order to come to fruition, most of which begin with planning as far as a year out and carry through into the summer and following school year. Student participation in the coordination of an event is vital for its success, and there is always need for involvement whether in or out of a school term. Committee Work Academics and Services 1. Assisting in the administration, expansion, and advertisement of University of Minnesota CourseRank, a website dedicated to helping students know details about specific courses before registration (approximately 4000 students registered as Fall 2010) 2. Seeking the creation of student-based teaching award, the increased use of mid-semester teaching evaluations, and the increased availability of placement tests that would allow qualified incoming students to pass out of lower level classes. Also hosting the student concerns forum Campus Relations 1. Coordinating MSA s involvement in the Student Activities Fair 2. Creating a general brochure to improve awareness about MSA 3. Running the Tax Program 4. Coordinating and launching a campus-wide sexual violence awareness and prevention effort Grants 1. Running the Grant Program 2. Working on a Minnesota Daily advertisement to increase awareness of program Facilities, Housing, and Transit 1. Working on Renter s Survey 2.

Organizing Support the U Day, which will be held at the Capitol on February 22,

12 2011 Indicate at what percentage your organization will operate in the summer of o If your organization has an office, will it be open? Section 6: Description of Impact of a 10 Percent Reduction in Fees Request Description of Impact at a 10 Percent Reduction in Fees Request This year, MSA has made every effort to allocate and wisely spend our $178, budget, so as to significantly reduce rollover to A ten (10) percent decrease in funding would compromise the ability of MSA to provide strong and visible student body representation to the University administration, media, and state and local officials. Programming would be scaled down, and thus the services that MSA provides to students would be less effective. Furthermore, MSA leaders who earn stipend money spend a significant amount of hours during the week on MSA meetings and projects. MSA is literally a part-time job, and we strive to retain highly-qualified student officials and staff. A reduction in funding would force our organization to reduce the already-modest stipends provided to those who dedicate much time and effort to serving the student body. Most importantly, lowered stipends would also reduce the accountability of those who receive them. Finally, MSA constantly seeks not only to improve existing programming, but also to create new programs. A reduction in funding would seriously hinder the ability of the next MSA Forum and administration to develop new programs, which would hurt the innovative spirit of MSA and render it stagnant.
