Morales cleared of
conflict of interest
By Alice Thornton
Emerald Reporter
The ASl'O Constitution Court has (Its ided to dismiss ,i
complaint concerning a c onflict of interest in the Incidental
Fee ( ummittee
Student Thomas Mann tiled a complaint against IN
member Armando Morales, claiming Morales violated the
ASCO constitution April 12 when he voted to approve next
year's budget for tire United States Student Association.
Mann charged that Morales' participation in the vote cre
ated a conflict of interest because he is vice chairman of
USSA f’ac tfic Northwest region and a national board member
of the organization.
Amendment 4.t> in the ASUO constitution states tirat an
ITT: member must abstain from voting on a budget when be
or she holds a paid position in that program The amendment
says this will "prohibit conduct that creates the appearance
of a conflict of interest."
Although Morales travels to USSA activities around the
country and receives travel reimbursements from USSA. he
is not a paid member of the organization.
Stephan Brady, a member of the Constitution Court said
the court reached a consensus and decided that no conflict
occurred because Morales is involved in USSA on a volun
tary basis only.
The statement from the Constitution Court said that if
Morales were to receive a stipend for his t;SSA services, then
it would fie considered a paid position
If tie were to receive travel expenses unrelated to his
function in the organization, a conflict would occur, the
statement said.
"The overriding factor is we didn't find a i onfiict. Hra
dv said. "Another court might have decided that his travel
expenses constitute a paid position, but we chose not to look
at it that way."
Brady said the court's ruling is favorable for the 1FC He
said if they want to anticipate future problems related to con
flict of interest, then stricter rules must he made
