Student senators are required to attend 10 Programs Finance Committee budget hearings, three EMU Board budget hearings and one Athletic Department Finance Committee contract negotiation.
PFC Chairman Oscar Guerra said that senators who come to budget hearings in the middle and miss PFC discussion on the issue are not counted, so some senators may have shown up for hearings that did not count in the final tally.
Under the terms of Senate Bill 5, which was passed on Jan. 24, senators will have the following penalties for missing hearings:
One to three missed hearings: The senator shall provide a written apology to be put in the other senators’ boxes.
Four to six missed hearings: The senator shall hold four extra office hours per week (40 total) during spring term 2007 devoted to studying the budgets and shall provide a written apology to the other senators.
Seven to eight missed hearings: The senator shall be docked one month’s stipend and shall provide a written apology to the other senators.
Nine or more: The senator must resign.
As of Tuesday, Feb. 20, the senators have gone to the following number of hearings (the number of senators who attended Tuesday night’s hearings do not appear to be included in this tally). These numbers were provided by ADFC Chairman Kyle McKenzie, EMU Board Chairwoman Chess Patricolo and PFC Chairman Oscar Guerra.
