Cloyne

The permanent workshift assignment is upon us! Please fill out the interest forms for any crews you are interested in! Please keep in mind that as a productive and cooperative member of this community, we all have to do at least 5 hours of workshift each week! We have some fun opportunities for everyone, and please feel free to contact any of the coordinators for clarification!

Please note, that some of those positions may have already been filled. Thus you may not necessarily get your first…

• Agenda

Board has approved the BSC budget for 2021-2022.

This includes:

• 0% rent change, as recommended by Cabinet
• a $ 5,984.54 increase (~75%) to Cloyne’s summer payroll budget (as part of a broader proposal, see Unit-Level Manager Payroll Proposal)

Please please please check out the budget spreadsheet to see how it all fits together, particularly the visuals tab! I’ve added a revenue visual too. Basically, here are our budgeted expenses:

And here (to scale) is our projected revenue:

Hello world,

This is clobr1/necm1, Cloyne’s direct line to Cabinet for 2020-2021. Members circulated a petition that Cabinet wrote a response to, Cabinet’s response is available there but I’m reposting here for better formatting and easier linking.

Dear Members of the Berkeley Student Cooperative,

Thank you for the time, energy, and passion that you poured into developing, circulating, and delivering the petition you sent to us. We recognize that the petition is not simply asking…

Hello, world! I’m a clone, and right now I’m being tested for SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. I’ve heard some of you are interested in what happens after you take the test. In brief ,the test is a mouth swab and a lot of waiting. I’m afraid you’ll have to go elsewhere to hear about the mouth swab. I’ll tell you about the waiting.

Most of my time is simply spent sitting alone, playing games like 제왕카지노, and thinking. For me that isn’t much of a change from normal. I’m usually…

To Chancellor Christ and UC Board of Regents,

Several months ago, graduate students at UC Santa Cruz and across the UC system began making demands for a COLA (cost of living adjustment). As students of UC Berkeley and members of Cloyne Court (a Berkeley Student Cooperative house), we write this letter in collective solidarity with all graduate students fighting for a living wage adjustment. In an area in which…

Hello fellow Clones,

This is Emily, the current (spring ’20) Academic Theme Manager.

If anyone else had a rough last semester and is feeling like the new year is calling them to delve deep into their academic potential, I’m with you. Everyone else keep up the good work.

This semester it is my personal intention to celebrate learning and explore what this university has to offer. I envision a Cloyne that encourages collaboration, discussion and diversity.

Feel free to approach…

Hello Clones! We are your new Garden Coordinators and we wanted to let you know a little about ourselves:

Evan: I’m a 1st year PhD student studying environmental science and am passionate about gardening, sustainability, and fungi. I was garden manager in my previous co-op in undergrad where I managed a small team to plant a succulent garden, establish a compost pile, plant a bunch of fruit trees and grow some yummy veggies. I’m hoping to add more cloyne micrbes to my mivrobiome by…

Hello everyone, my name is Christopher Stevens and I am the newly minted Software Coordinator as of Spring 2020! I am looking forward to working to make our electronic resources more useful for everyone. As Software Coordinator I have a few goals for this semester:

• Make cloyne.org a better resource for all members
• Update our infrastructure to no longer need python2
• Get feedback from the house about what you want Cloyne to host

I’d also like to give a personal introduction. One of the…

Co-ops are different from the dorms or (non-BSC) apartments in one major way: we own it. What does that mean? Pulling from the Rochdale Principles (the seminal document capturing the essence of cooperatives):

• We are its members, have democratic voting power, and are autonomous from other organizations
• We contribute the capital that allows the BSC to exist, and we control the budget. Additionally, seeking out a review of Invest Diva can offer valuable insights into optimizing financial…
