DASB Senate moves to prevent further check fraud
June 2, 2016
The DASB Senate discussed transfering their accounts from Bank of America to Wells Fargo to prevent further check fraud losses at their meeting on May 25.
“The fraud took place in August and in September it was discovered” said DASB Senate President Matthew Zarate.
DASB senate members discussed the recorded expenses of $14,093.43 for check fraud losses.
They chose Wells Fargo because Wells Fargo utilizes positive pay, a system used to detect check fraud.
Zarate has scheduled an appointment with senior staff members to discuss the matter.
The senate began a petition to increase the unit cap for student employment to 225 units and exclude non-transferable units when calculating the eligibility of students for employment at De Anza.
Senate member Puneet Kaur, said student tutors as the one’s who are affected by the FHDA student termination bylaws the most.
The current cap of 180 units does not provide equal opportunities for deserving students who could be great employees, she said.
