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!
On Thursday, it is time for the last parliament meeting before summer. All documents for the meeting can be found here. LUNA has not received any candidatures for the by-elections which takes place during the meeting. If you want to counter candidate to a vacant position, please send an email with your counter candidature to valb-ordf@luna.lu.se before 23:59 on Wednesday the 9th of June.
