14. Executive Cabinet DUCC (Anthony DiRenzo): First, I just want to start off by saying it has been a pleasure serving on SGA this year.  I would like to quote Tempa Klinegores in saying “Heaven forbid the mostly-white interests of the SGA and Student Senate are tainted with the inclusion of historically marginalized individuals.”  I feel the DUCC is making progress in the right direction.  Also, transition is going well, I think we’re almost done.  I think I’m ready to pass the torch on to Natalie.
15. Parliamentarian (Ashley Davis): “Wait.  What about me.  ICA is under me.”  I have Roberts Rules and my gavel for Joe. 
16. ICA Representative (Kennard Smith): ABSENT.  Proxy (Caitlin Varley): We have a couple of clubs we need to approve.  We went to Finance Committee and we’re buying paint markers for campus club use.
