- We talked about the then-upcoming party for Steve Kruger’s end of term as EO. The ESA decided to donate its remaining $100 to a gift for Steve, which turned out to be a Book Culture gift certificate.
- We talked about revels.
- The Executive Committee reported. The big news, as it’s been all year, is the Middle States self-assessment. At the time of the meeting, accreditation hadn’t officially been granted, but we were assured that we would receive accreditation. The issue that was raised are those shadowy “University Center” organizations, like the CUNY Baccalaureate program, and the School for Professional Studies. Basically, they operate under the aegis of the Graduate Center, but there’s no accountability for them. But as far as the departments go, all is well.
- The dorm, primarily for international students and visiting scholars, has been approved. It’s on 188th St.
- We have 33 incoming students, and one who deferred admission.
- We decided that it would be best to allow cochairs to be nominated either as pairs or individually, but on the ballot they must run as pairs.
- We talked about the three amendments that were to be put on the ballot. All three measures subsequently passed. See below for full election results.

Resolution One: Passed.
Be it resolved that, the Elections Committee shall retain a record of allelection results, including the number of votes received by each nominee. In the event of there being fewer than mandated members (due to resignation or vicissitudes), the nominee with the next highest number of votes shall fill the empty seat(s). If there are no other nominees on the ballot, and there are fewer than mandated members, the remaining committee members can appoint a replacement at their discretion until the next annual election. In the case of ESA CoChair and Conference CoChair, the remaining cochair can appoint a replacement at their discretion. If both CoChairs resign, department-wide byelections shall be held.
