The union board met for its first meeting of the operational year on the 16th of August. The majority of the meeting was spent on planning the upcoming year, by concretizising the operational plan and creating work groups. 17 work groups were created within the board, where matters such as updating the regulatory documents, planning a directive for Utopia, recovery and student’s mental health and accessibility were brought up. This was a long meeting, so the board had some pizza to help them get through it.

Tonight, the parliament gathered for its last meeting before summer. During the meeting, the parliament approved upon an operational plan and a budget for the upcoming operational year. Furthermore, the parliament decided to replenish 15 000 SEK and 12 000 SEK respectively to the Special Initiative Fund and the Office Inventory Fund. The parliament did also approve upon seven days vacation for next year’s vice president in July, as well as upon a board decision regarding an election of Hanna Sjö to a working group which will work with visions for basic education at Brunnshög and Sölvegatan. Lastly, the parliament was informed about that the board has finished a handbook for student representatives.

Today, the board convened for its 20th and last board meeting of this operational year. During the meeting, the board approved upon the documents for parliament meeting 6, as well as upon vacation days for the full timers. The board did also decide to buy phones for the full timers, as well as a new camera for the union. Furthermore, the board discussed how to update the board member testament, and how to evaluate our year as the board.

Last but not least, the board decided to change LUNAs covid-19 restrictions. The new restrictions says that it is possible to host meetings and events, as long as they follow the restrictions put up by the government, the public health agency, the region of Scania and Lund university. Currently, this means that we can have smaller outdoor events, but that we can not host indoor events and meetings yet. However, the number of people allowed at both indoor and outdoor events will most likely increase the first of July, meaning that we hopefully can have physical meetings and events during the autumn.

The union office and couch rooms will stay closed over the summer, since Geocentrum II is still a locked building. If you want to get in contact with the presidium, or need to meet up with LUNA for some reason, please send an email to luna@luna.lu.se.

The union board want to thank you all for this year! Hope you get a nice summer, and that we can meet each other again in the autumn!
