The ASUO Student Senate on Wednesday extended the deadline
for the Programs Finance Committee to submit its budget to the Senate
for approval.
Initially due Wednesday, the PFC’s budget has been slowed by injunctions the ASUO Constitution Court placed against three of its members, which prevented the PFC from legally holding meetings to hear groups’ budgets.
The budget is now due Monday, March 7 by 5 p.m.; the Senate will
review it March 9.
PFC Chairwoman Persis Pohowalla apologized for the budget’s lateness, saying “extenuating circumstances” such as the injunctions, the PFC exceeding its funding benchmark and problems with some PFC meetings’ audio tapes, have slowed the process.
Senators granted the ASUO Women’s Center about $668 in surplus funds to allow representatives to
attend a conference in New Orleans on March 11-13.
Also at the meeting, senators voted to refer two resolutions condemning the court’s recent injunctions to the Senate Rules Committee for review.
