consent agenda

Read a random definition: utiliter impensum

A quick definition of consent agenda:

A consent agenda is a list of items that a group or organization plans to vote on without debate or opposition. These items are usually routine or non-controversial and are expected to be approved unanimously. Members have the opportunity to object, but if no one objects, the items are approved automatically. This process helps the group to efficiently handle a large number of routine matters and focus on more important issues that require debate and discussion.

A more thorough explanation:

A consent agenda is a list of business items that a deliberative assembly plans to vote on without debate or opposition. It is also known as a unanimous-consent agenda or calendar. The purpose of a consent agenda is to quickly and efficiently dispose of routine or noncontroversial matters that do not require extensive discussion.

  • A city council may use a consent agenda to approve meeting minutes, pay bills, and award contracts for routine services.
  • A school board may use a consent agenda to approve field trip requests, personnel changes, and budget transfers.
  • A nonprofit organization may use a consent agenda to approve committee reports, event plans, and membership applications.

These examples illustrate how a consent agenda can help a deliberative assembly save time and focus on more important matters. By grouping routine items together and voting on them as a whole, the assembly can avoid lengthy discussions and move on to more pressing issues.

@HeadyInvincibleRabbit: https://www.reddit.com/r/lawschooladmissions/comments/1jt3hdb/share_of_lsdata_users_that_have_heard_back_from/ Re 87% in that time frame have heard back (of LSD users). So figure 70% of BC applicants use LSD, I would say there is a decent chance you will hear back hopefully soon. IG from the school chat on here there was a recent R wave, so if that was not you, that is a plus
@llama thanks bro just tryna stay positive
in addition to formal LOCIs that I attach to emails, i can also send shorter emails closer to deposit deadlines to express my continued interest, right??

@HeadyInvincibleRabbit: LOCIs every 4 weeks if you are wait listed is what I have been told. On schools you have not heard from, I have also heard you should not contact them. I disagree: admittance is a binary event [with infinite inputs like ur gpa, lsat, how the adcom is feeling that day, if they like u for whatever reason outside of your control] : you get in or you do not, so if by u emailing them a few times to express your continued interest/ if you have a question, I do not see the issue with that. However, someone else here may say otherwise. Take what I say with a micro grain tho lol
