Unfinished Business

Mr. Mike Cohen and Mr. Harry Draayers joined us to hear the SUFAC appeals (Segregated University Fee Allocation Committee). To learn more about what exactly SUFAC is and who qualifies for SUFAC funds check out: http://www.uww.edu/involve/policy/sufac.php.

On tonight’s agenda, the Homecoming Steering Committee has come to appeal. The 2009 Homecoming Steering Committee chair Nicolle McClain spoke on behalf of the committee who requested a 2% increase. The committee was not allocated that money in the SUFAC’s suggested budget. The addition to plexiglass to the HSC budget would accommodate disabled students in the Window Painting contest that takes place during Homecoming week. Action for this appeal will occur at next week’s meeting.

Stand Out Officer Reports

President Tim Scully: FEEDBACK ITEM [scullyta20@uww.edu] Riley and I met with Chancellor Telfer. Since the funds for lab printing are paid for directly by students they go right back to students in the event of a surplus. Members of the technology fee committee that meets in February, should expect to allocate funds to other special tech projects at that time. (The computer lab outside of C & LD is an example of student tech fee funds.)
