Emerald Reporter
University officials are waiting to see
if the U.S. Supreme Court will hear a Cal
ifornia Supreme Court case before they
consider changing how student politic ul
and lobbying groups in Oregon are fund- |
ed.
"We're going to have to look at it really
closely to determine whether it has any
implications for Oregon," said Melinda
Grier, director of legal services for the
Oregon State System of Higher Education.
At issue is a recent California high
court dec ision that said forcing students
o fund campus political and lobbying
(roups p» unconstitutional. The case does
lot affect Oregon low at present, but if
ippenled to tin* U S. Supreme Court, its
juicome could severely restrict the
imount of money politically oriented
umpus groups receive from mandatory
.Indent fees.
