          Representative council meeting 2\/2021 of Aalto University Student Union (AYY) was held on Thursday 19th<\/sup> of March remotely via Zoom. There were 41 members of repco present and the meeting lasted about three hours. You can watch the meeting recording from Youtube: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UI32Yc8S0sE<\/a> and the meeting documents are available in AYY Inside: https:\/\/inside.ayy.fi\/pages\/viewpage.action?pageId=68092004<\/a><\/p>\n

Topics include decision on the project agreement of the Student Center Project, and first approval of changes to the Student Union rules. Links to the live streams of the meeting can always be found from AYY website: ayy.fi\/live!<\/p>\n

          If you happen to have questions regarding representative council meetings or the work of the CHEM repco group in general, you can always send a message to the group chair Jani Anttila (@jampade) or vice chair Airi Antikainen (@airikatriina)!<\/p>\n

          Best regards,

          Latest news from the student union office
          \n<\/strong>For now, AYY doesn’t recommend organizing any private events that involve close contacts. Neither does AYY organize any public events itself. During spring 2021 AYY will not hold any larger public events and strives to organize remote events and small group events according to possibilities imposed by the current situation. For example the AYY annual ball that was to be held on 15th of May will be moved to the end of the year. All rentable AYY spaces are closed until 4th of April and the matter will be handled again on week 13 the latest, according to updates to the capital region corona restrictions. The service office remains temporarily closed and is only open on moving days to those moving. It is however possible to receive service office services via phone and email.<\/p>\n

          There have been personnel changes at the office. Johanna Mikkonen, who has previously been an English translator, has been chosen to be a project worker in the renewal of association categorization. Eetu Manninen, completing civil service, has started as IT support person and graphic designer Iina Sillfors has left AYY. Karmen Hellenum has started as Sillfors\u2019 replacement.<\/p>\n

          AYY has publicly commented on student wellbeing and Finnish government action regarding handling of corona. You can find the blog post by board member Tiina Pajukari here<\/a>. In addition the Ministry of Education and Culture has granted the student union extra aid. A review of uses is under way, and the membership has also been consulted.<\/p>\n

          During the start of the year there have been nine new association applications to operate within AYY. The application period for operations grants is open until the end of June. RemoteWappu 2021 planning is underway and new teekkari caps have been ordered from Wahlman.<\/p>\n

          Negotiations on door opening services with Securitas have progressed well, and an inexpensive agreement has been reached and will be communicated to tenants soon.<\/p>\n

          Preliminary debates
          \n<\/strong>A preliminary debate on changes to the AYY rules was done at the meeting. The discussion and comments will be used to prepare final drafts for the next representative council meetings. The proposals include changes to election eligibility, representative council meetings, remote meetings, membership fees, the museum, and the position of trust of representative council members. CHEM repco group also had its own comments on the changes, mostly regarding the proposed change to temporarily suspend representative council members from meetings for poor or damaging behaviour.<\/p>\n

          Other things<\/strong>
          \nThe National Union of University Students in Finland (SYL) send their greetings to the repco meeting. The SYL representative was Konstantin Kouzmitchev, our student union\u2019s contact person, who told us about news regarding the corona situation and the SYL centennial.\u00a0 In addition the meeting included a financial review of association activities from last year and latest developments of the student center project.<\/p>\n
