additional problems

they dont get hired here
it’s meant to serve outside

Mike Go: majors can’t take Math 20 because of K-12 strands impose a path for students na
agad-agad

unjust

pinapayagan magkarooon ng exam

din for Kulê to function azap

Sherwin - ​MOTION: ​There is a misrepresentation of the EIC examinees due to the questionable
selection of applicants, but with the upcoming GASC and academic year, qualms should be
addressed and an EIC is much needed.

MOTION: We will remain critical of the leaders chosen and protect the integrity of the
student institutions.
