EFMO Update
Spoken with BAME reps from other colleges, think it’s best not to combine faith into existing role. But still keen on doing things for faith minority groups, such as securing a faith room in college.
President suggests spending Trinity consulting members of the JCR to come up with ideas of what a Faith officer could look like, hopefully to be implemented by Michaelmas.
Balliolfess 2.0
President already spoken with Master about this in case of welfare issues.
Wants to ensure people are supported if anything goes wrong. Maybe Welfaries could re-start BalliolLove as a nicer version of it and talk to old reps. Include in next email?
Mouse in JCR
Entered pantry? Been here for all term. Been reported to maintenance, slow to respond.
President to talk to Master about cats to solve the issue. And also to send an email to Domestic Bursar about mouse.
Environment Reps
In favour of wild patch, but should consult Ball Committee (Oli to rep them) because they wish to use it for the Ball too.
Tree in front quad to be replaced for health and safety reasons. Consensus is to replace it with whatever gardener likes the most – new tree, flowers, whatever looks good and will work well environmentally.
Question on Housing
Housing Reps explain why 3rd/4th years on Balliol mainsite waiting list have lower priority than those don’t – want to avoid people who really only want Jowett/Masters signing up to both ballots. Housing Reps to perhaps send an email out clarifying this for all.
MSL
No one wants it.
Ideas for how to spend bar money
New TV? Already have a license. New paintings – e.g., Boris, a famous female Balliol woman? Women’s reps to come up with ideas.
President harassed throughout the meeting.
Meeting adjourned.
