The 76th Associated Students Senate formally announced support for the integration of Gaucho Bucks into student meal plans at its Jan. 21 meeting. Senator and third-year psychological & brain sciences and sociology double major Victoria Ly presented a resolution supporting the integration of “Gaucho Bucks” into meal plans. According to the resolution, the integration of Gaucho Bucks would allow students to use their meal plan at various retail dining establishments on campus “without increasing overall student costs.” The Senate adopted the resolution. Next, the Senate adopted a resolution regarding the use of Artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLM) in the Associated Students (A.S.). The request was not approved as a formal itemized budget request was not presented, with some senators raising concerns about the high request amount.
