DASG members may be sent Financial Aid fraud stopped about 700 students from classes/academics/sports. African American last name had to pay for schooling although financial aid fraud needs to be protected against it can still cause harm to those that really need it.

- Aditya: RAPP met yesterday and we went over the introduction of the new members and examining the goal and mission of RAPP. I would also highly recommend everyone to go on the wrap home page, and just like go over the important dates and the timeline of how wrap works. We also had an emergency request for librarian position since enrollment actually went up. And now we're above like 5,000 full time enrolled students. So when that happens you're supposed to have at least 5 librarians. We had 4, because previously we were below 5,000, and now one of them retired, so they needed more librarians to like staff it according to State law. So we approved that position. There's also a RAPP training for all public members coming up on Friday I'll send the timing. I will send the meeting link in the discord. So if anyone's is interested, you should join.

- Yan Ming: District Budget Advisory Committee met a few weeks ago. So we have a projected net income of point 83 million for the 2024 and 2025 adopted budget for the district. We have 2 years left to close the hope harmless gap, which is basically our funding, will remain the same until we get enough full time equivalent students to break that limit. A cola of 1.0 7% was included in the finalized adopted budget.
- Ryan Chu: Curriculum Committee: Academic Senate has approved the new DA GE pattern, which means that less coursework will be required for students to like transfer and get degrees.
