EMU Board rejects
budgets for SARO,
UO Cultural Forum
■ EMU administrators disagree
with the student-run groups’
goal statements for next year
By Kara Cogswell
Oregon Daily Emerald
After recent budget hearings, EMU
administrators still disagree with UO
Cultural Forum and Student Activi
ties Resource Office coordinators on
how the programs should be run.
On Tuesday, the EMU Board re
jected the groups’ budgets for 2002
03. Both groups had presented
budget requests that differed from
the totals that EMU administrators
had suggested.
The board advised EMU adminis
trators to work with the Cultural Fo
rum and SARO and then return for
another hearing with budget requests
on which both parties could agree.
Board members also tabled a mo
tion to vote on the Cultural Forum’s
goal statement—which must be ap
proved before programs can legally
receive state funds—until Jan. 22.
The board questioned whether
the goal statement — which includ
ed the reinstatement of Cultural Fo
rum Program Coordinator Linda
Dievendorf—was legal because or
ganization goal statements usually
do not relate to hiring issues, board
member Andy Elliott said.
Some board members also thought
the Cultural Forum’s goal statement
should have focused more on the
benefits the program offers to all Uni
versity students, not just the student
coordinators of the program, he said.
Last spring, EMU administrators
Dusty Miller and Gregg Lobisser de
cided not to renew Dievendorfs con
tract when it ends in May. Students ac
tive in the Cultural Forum and SARO
protested the decision, and some said
the decision reflected a desire by the
EMU administration to take control
away from students. Dievendorf, who
has worked at the University for 21
years —17 at the Cultural Forum —
said the dispute over the Cultural Fo
rum’s budget shows that EMU admin
istrators still want to control how the
Cultural Forum is run.
“I think there’s a power struggle
going on between the EMU admin
istration and the Cultural Forum ...
and I think it’s being reflected in our
budget hearings,” she said.
But Miller said the disagreement
over the groups’ budgets is not
about a power struggle. EMU ad
UO Cultural Forum
2002-03 Budget Request submitted
by EMU administrators:
Total expenses: $175,152
Total increase from 2001-02:
4.9 percent
2002-03 Budget Request submitted
by Cultural Forum:
Total expenses: $135,859
Total increase from 2001-02:
11 percent
Source: EMU Board
ministrators simply want to submit
a budget “based on what the board
approved last year,” he said.
EMU administrators try to work
with students and staff in every
EMU program to develop a budget,
and they will work with Cultural
Forum and SARO coordinators to
revise the budget before the next
EMU Board hearing, Miller said.
Cultural Forum Office Coordinator
Jessie Wylie said the budget proposal
presented by the Cultural Forum was
organized differently than the budget
request submitted by EMU adminis
trators to “be more reflective of what
happens in the office. ”
The Cultural Forum requested an
11 percent budget increase for 2002
OS for a total budget of $185,859. EMU
administrators requested a 4.9 percent
increase, for a total budget of$175,152.
During the hearing, board mem
bers discussed past spending by
SARO and the Cultural Forum, in
cluding a transfer of $6,000 between
the programs last term which the
board didn’t approve.
Wylie said the transfer, which the
Cultural Forum used to cover adminis
trative expenses, including a recep
tionist salary, was an “honest mistake. ”
EMU Business Manager Susan
Racette approved the transfer, and
Cultural Forum coordinators did not
realize it needed to be brought before
the board, she said. She added that the
Cultural Forum has made changes
such as working with agencies to pro
mote events to save costs and avoid
going into deficit again this year.
The EMU Board must submit fi
nal budgets for 2002-03 to the
ASUO Programs Finance Commit
tee by Feb. 13. A second hearing
date for SARO and the Cultural Fo
rum has not been finalized.
