Election
continued from page 1A
The court will hold a hearing to
decide the grievance and Jacobson’s
» appeal March 16. Regardless of the
decisions from that hearing, the
ASUO has begun work to bend the
April 1 deadline.
ASUO President Jay Breslow,
Raschio and Senate President Peter
Watts met with Executive Assistant
President Dave Hubin on Thursday
to discuss how the funding meas
ures could be added into the final
fee total.
Hubin said the deadline exists so
the administration has time to re
view the budget before it is set for
final approval to the Oregon Uni
versity System.
“We do give this a very thorough
review, and we do need time for
discussion,” Hubin said. But he
added that Breslow could prepare
an appeal for an extension so voting
could occur the first week of spring
term.
Breslow said he will start work
ing on an informal budget proposal
that includes everything but the
money that could be granted to OS
PIRG and the MCC, then ask for the
extra few days for voting.
Whenever voting starts again, the
ASUO will need to decide whether
to count votes cast Wednesday be
fore the injunction or start the elec
tion from scratch.
Breslow said he believed the tal
ly would be saved, but it would be
a final decision for Elections Coor
dinator Shantell Rice, who could
not be reached for comment.
“It would be like the election
never stopped,” Breslow said.
