Struggle
over funds
continues
□ IFC, administrators
dispute who will distrib
ute interest earnings
By Chester Allen
Emerald Reporter
University administrators don't
have the legal authority to partici
pate in the distribution of $337,000
in interest earnings from student
incidental fees, student govern
ment leaders said Wednesday.
University administrators Tues
day released a proposed plan to
distribute the money to the ASUO,
i:MU and Department of Athletics
The plan would distribute
SI24,009 to the ASUO, $137,811 to
the EMU and S75.H92 to the athlet
ic department.
ASUO President Bobby Lee said
the Incidental Fee Committee is le
gally responsible lor distributing
the money.
"This money was earned over an
eight-year period from student
fees,” Lee sold "Because this is
student money, hit's lot the IFC do
its job, which is to allocate and ap
propriate student incidental fees "
University Budget Director Trent
Spradling said the administration's
plan is only a proposed basis for
discussion with students
“Students should know this is
tlie beginning of the process, and it
is not necessarily the end of the
process," Spradling said
1FC members also said Universi
ty administrators have no business
allocating student fees or the inter
est earned from student fees
"I personally think that it's lor
the IFC to distribute the money.'*
said IFC member Jose Balderas
"Because incidental fees earned
and accumulated the interest, it
should he administered by the
committee"
Official University incidental fee
guidelines, known as the. Clark
Document, stale the IFC, not Uni
versity administrators, should dis
tribute the money, said IFC mem
ber Barbara Rodgers
"The issue is whether it is legal
for incidental fees to be allocated
by University administrators in
stead of the IFC," Rodgers said. "I
definitely think these funds should
be for students, and students
should decide where they go."
