WHEREAS, senate chambers wiring by Xerox Audio Visual Solutions cost $1,200 to enhance projector connectivity; and,

WHEREAS, some technology enhanced classrooms have “DocCams” to capture live video of documents and document writing; and,

WHEREAS, the use of a DocCam can reduce the amount of distributed printed materials in committee, executive and judicial meetings that meet in senate chambers; and,

WHEREAS, the addition of a DocCam to senate chambers can improve the productivity of student organizations that use senate chambers; and,

WHEREAS, Senator O’Donnell has not seen working DocCams at NCSU Surplus the past 4 times he went, preventing SG from using an interdepartmental transfer for free; and,

WHEREAS, the state may have contracts with Document Camera suppliers below advertised market value; and,

WHEREAS, SG’s revolving technology fund stands at approximately $4,800 for the remainder of the academic year; now therefore be it,

RESOLVED, that North Carolina State University Student Senate use $X from the revolving technology fund to purchase a DocCam comparable to units used in NCSU classrooms; and be it further,

RESOLVED, this act shall be effective upon adoption.
