General Guidelines for DSC Operations:
- The Director appoints a chairperson for each committee as well as an assistant director.
- The director attends Executive Cabinet once a week, which is called by the President. The Director also attends monthly meetings with the advisors and the DSS and DSA directors.
- DSC members must meet monthly with their auxiliaries, KCOU and MUTV.
- Committee Chairs must complete a Mid-Semester Report/Evaluation form, and an End-of-the-Semester Report/Evaluation must be turned in by the end of Finals Week.
- Use the SDC for designs, logos, etc. Remember everything must include DSC and MSA/GPC logos and be approved by the Director.
- The MSA Handbook should be updated every year, if the Director sees fit. The finalized copy of the MSA Monthly Newsletter gets sent to the Web Programmer. Ask him to put the letter on the template.
