IFC position opens as former chairwoman leaves
By Edward Klopfenatein
Ortgon D*>y ErrmatC
The former chairwoman of the Incidental Fee Com
mittee officially left the organization, making way for the
ASUO president to find someone to fill the seat imme
diately.
In other business, the IFC granted a S3.500 request to
the Women's Center. Restructuring Committee so the
committee can hire an independent facilitator, attend a
retreat and cover expenses for informational meetings.
Committee member Esther Wong originally planned to
work through the term and resign officially in January,
she said at last week's IFC meeting Last week she
announced her intentions to leave along with members
Julia Wallace and Tonija Edwards.
But Wong said last night that resigning in January
would be unfair to ASUO President Eric: Bowen and to
the incoming member.
Bringing a new member into the IFC during the start of
the busy budget season in January wouldn't be fair, she
said.
Bowen is currently reviewing applications for the seat
vacated by Wallace and the other seat left vacant when
Stove Masat was asked to resign last spring.
Bowen will present his recommendations for Student
Senate approval at the Senate's Tuesday night meeting.
The IFC approved unanimously to help fund the cen
ter’s transition.
Bowen said the committee was needed to redirect the
vision of the center after a long period of infighting
stymied the center’s work.
Of the $3,500, $1,000 will fund a retrent to help com
mittee members plan the future goals of the center. Wong
said she had experience in setting up retreats, and $1,000
was a very reasonable cost.
Another $1,000 will fund food, advertising and child
care for committee meetings designed to get input from
students.
A facilitator was hired for four hours a week to help
the committee organize its meetings Six months of that
employee's pay totals $1,500.
The !FC also redirected about $9,200 from the
Women's Center coordinator position to two new posi
tions. The ASUO hired a student advocate for $4,200 and
a receptionist for $4,143. Bowen asked that $5,000 be
directed to the receptionist position to pay needed over
time.
