The ASUO Programs Finance Committee, a group that recommends how much incidental fee money to give to student programs, approved the mission and goals statements of 10 groups on Monday.
Each University student pays about $191 per term in incidental fees.
The PFC is holding hearings this week to approve or reject the mission and goals statements for student groups, allowing approved groups to receive incidental fee funding in later hearings.
The PFC approved the mission statements of the Jewish Student Union, Disability Services, Lane Transit District, the Committee for Music Arts, Sexual Assault
Support Services, the Career Center, the Mentor Program, the Co-op Family Center, University Theatre and the Oregon Marching Band. With PFC Chairman Jared Axelrod abstaining from each vote to approve the mission statements, all of them passed 4-0.
Each student group is required to submit a mission statement and goals to be considered for ASUO funding. More than 120 student groups’ mission statements and goals are considered by the PFC, usually about 10 at a time, from the beginning of November until their budgets begin review next Tuesday.
The PFC will be finished when Axelrod submits a final PFC budget on March 1.
