|
|
To following meausre was approved by the Graduate Student Council to be placed on the 2008 ASSU Ballot:
The referendum will request the Provost to
charge all graduate students to receive a GO Pass. The Caltrain GO
Pass is a yearly pass, valid on all trains between San Francisco and
San Jose/Gilroy. It can be used for commuting, educational and
recreational purposes as well as for accessing Bay Area airports. This
advisory referendum asks for Stanford University to charge all
graduate students a nonrefundable quarterly fee equal to the total
cost of the annual GO Pass program. This is an advisory referendum
only. The final decision of whether or not to charge this fee will be
made by the Office of the Provost. This fee will appear on graduate
students' university bills. If the annual cost of a GO Pass remains at
its current $106 per person in 2009, the University would charge
$35.33 per quarter to each graduate student in autumn quarter 2008,
winter quarter 2009 and spring quarter 2009. To restart the GO Pass
program for 2009, graduate students should demonstrate interest in the
fee by showing overwhelming support for this advisory referendum
(defined as 15% of the graduate student population voting to approve
this referendum and 66% total voter approval in the ASSU Spring
Election). All students will receive a GO Pass in January
2009.

GO Pass Advisory Referendum Details |
|
Transportation
|
|
The GO Pass is a subsidized train pass providing eligible students with unlimited use of Caltrain. The GO Pass is currently available for $99.50 to graduate students living off-campus in housing that is not subsidized by Stanford University (students who pick up the pass forfeit the CleanAir Cash). In order to provide these low cost passes, Caltrain requires that Stanford University purchase one pass for every off-campus student at a total cost of over $320 000. The current GO Pass will expire in December 2007 with no funding available to continue the program. The GSC has placed an advisory referendum on the 2007 ASSU ballot, in a 12-1-0 vote, to create a student funded GO Pass program for 2008 and beyond. This referendum requests that Stanford University charge all off-campus graduate students a non-refundable quarterly fee equal to the cost of the GO Pass. As this is an advisory referendum, the final decision of whether or not to charge this fee will be made by the Office of the Provost. If charged, this fee will appear on off-campus graduate students’ tuition bills each academic quarter. For example, if the annual cost of a GO Pass is $108 per person, each off-campus student would be charged $36 per academic quarter. |
