Monday Update - What's going on?

Here's a quick rundown of what's going on with your seg fees on campus:

Erik Paulson continues to prove that he is one of the most dedicated members of the student council. His new proposal for improving tenant relations and the system as a whole makes a lot of sense, but he is likely going to have some trouble getting the $50,000 proposal through both SSFC and Student Council before the ASM budget is approved next semester.

Last week, the Badger Herald ran a story about naming the new union. It seems there was some disagreement about who should be responsible for determining the new name, but it is pretty clear to me; those responsible for paying for the building should be the ones who name it. In this case, that's the students, and ASM is directly elected while the Union Council is not. At the very least, it could be brought before a referendum.

Shared governance is always busy.

Check out the GSSF calendar at the bottom of the page to find out what student groups are doing with segregated fees. One event of particular interest is the GUTS Biannual study day, which will help everyone get prepared for the finals looming right around the corner.

And lastly, SSFC met to hear budget proposals from the Student Judiciary and the Student Activity Center. Both budgets were very responsible, but I anticipate that some changes will be made at the decisions on Thursday.
