Short Title: Board Bucks Misuse Act. (Public)

Sponsored by: Senators RAMIRES, PALIN AND FABRICIUS.

First Reading: March 7, 2001. Version Date: April 2, 2001.

Referred to: University Affairs Committee.

WHEREAS, One of North Carolina State University's primary objectives is to assist its on-campus residents with college life; and,

WHEREAS, University Dining and its programs are integral in the achievement of this goal; and,

WHEREAS, The University Board Bucks system provides a simple and effective way

for students to keep cash without fear of robbery or loss; and,

WHEREAS, many students depend solely on their Board Bucks for food and general

groceries; and,

WHEREAS, University Dining clearly requires that the University C-Stores and restaurants which accept Board Bucks to positively identify the users of a

Student ID as the true owner of the card; and,

WHEREAS, this policy is not being enforced in many situations, facilitating the

fraudulent use of a stolen Student ID; now, therefore be it

RESOLVED, that the North Carolina State University Student Senate request that University Dining investigate University C-Stores and restaurants acceptance of Board Bucks without verifying identification.
