GSAS Restructuring
There was discussion on some restructuring of the exec board to address workload issues this year. There was a general consensus that the VP positions should be separated from committee positions, and the VP positions should be more active in supporting the President. There appeared to be a sufficient number of people willing to put in 30 min/week for GSASC that it would be feasible to create additional positions with lighter workloads.
* Motion to separate Life Committee duties from the 1st VP position. Seconded and passed unanimously
