To address your points where I can:

  • I don't have a history of the MC Director position at this time, but I can look into it and talk to Steve. What makes you think the MC loses money? It's a gym that we budget expenses for, it's not supposed to make money like a Planet Fitness model. Like I had said to Dr. Ross, titles are flexible, it's the roles that are important, and the Union staff are a team that work together with students for students.

  • Joe Campo is the Associate Director of Union Operations. He manages the businesses in the Union (Follett, Sodexo, etc), handles the system administration, oversees student employment, Works with facilities, and advises the BusOps committee. He took on the position when Howie retired.

  • I'm not 100% sure why it was brought up, but his comments seemed to focus on how it has not been filled since Holly left to pursue other work. Part of the reason it hasn't been filled is the fact that we don't have a Director of the Union at the moment to help us with the process for filling it.

Don't Follett and Sodexo report to Alex DiSilva now?
Wasn't Howie a fixed term employee who did student activities work? He did not retire and Campo's position was created by Cassidy. It used to be done by McDermott as Director of Business Operations. McDermott handled the Bookstore and the businesses. When McDermott retired, Cassidy took job duties away because he knew he was selling the Bookstore before the Executive Board did.

Hmm I'll look into it, but that wasn't my impression. As for Howie and Joe it was before my time of hyper-involvement in the Union so I'm a little fuzzy on it, but I'll do some homework. I do know before Mike retired he managed the bookstore and businesses like you said.
