The Senate voted to recognize one club, approved a nonbinding paperless campaign pledge and received an update from the Constitutional Review Task Force at its Sunday meeting. The Senate approved the CRTF proposal, allowing the constitutional changes to be sent to students for a vote in the coming weeks.

The Senate voted in favor of a nonbinding paperless campaign pledge proposed by Class of 2015 Senator Anna Bessendorf.
Bessendorf said the proposal would save about 4,000 sheets of paper, as each candidate is allotted 100 sheets.

The pledge stated: "Any candidate who voluntarily adopts the Sustainability Pledge as a component of their platform demonstrates their commitment to reducing the amount of waste the Student Union, and Brandeis University, as an institution committed to social justice, produces."

There was some debate in the Senate about whether the Senate's vote of approval would improperly bestow a Senate endorsement upon those who take the paperless pledge. Fourteen senators voted in favor of the pledge, one opposed and four abstained.

The Senate voted to recognize a chapter of the Jubilee Project, which uses video and social media to increase awareness of social issues, including disaster relief and cancer research.

The Senate also passed a Senate Money Resolution for $285 to fund a cultural potluck in the Intercultural Center.

In his executive report to the Senate, Student Union President Ricky Rosen '14 emphasized 'Deis Day, which is scheduled for this Sunday, April 6, and the upcoming Union elections.

Rosen said that a committee of International Business School students tasked with finding a solution to the problematic shortage of parking on campus would present its findings to the administration within the next two weeks. The Union is also looking to hire course evaluation guide editors and will be sponsoring vouchers for the Take your Professor to Lunch program.

Rosen and Senate Dining Committee Chair and Class of 2017 Senator David Heaton both said that they have met with Senior Vice President for Students and Enrollment Andrew Flagel and Sodexo's Resident District Manager of Dining Services Jay DeGioia to discuss meal plans.
