Tuition

who are getting competitive offers to
go out-of-state, to provide opportu
nities for minority students and to
bring graduate students to Oregon
to conduct important research —
research that will fuel Oregon’s new
economy,” Frohnmayer wrote in
the letter.
But co-Chairman Rep. Randy
Miller, R-West Linn, defended the
proposal, saying that Frohnmayer’s
views are respected “a great deal”
within the committee, but the co
chairmen had a problem with fund
ing college presidents’ efforts to re
duce tuition for certain students.
“Should university students be
paying, through higher tuition, for
authority of presidents to offer
sweet deals to students?” he said.
“To the extent that we subsidize tu
ition, I’d say it does have a general
fund impact.”
Miller said the item was put on
the budget without much in-depth
study, however, and therefore is
subject to change. He also ex
pressed a willingness of the com
mittee to talk about the issue with
Frohnmayer.
More than 5,000 resident stu
dents at the University were dis
counted a total of #6,856,500 in the
2002-03 academic year, while 868
non-resident students were dis
counted a total of #2,684,712, ac
cording to a University fact sheet.
The average fee remission award
was #1,221 for residents and #3,093
for non-residents.
Amelie Welden, spokeswoman for
the Oregon Student Association —
which supports other parts of the
co-chairmen’s budget to replenish
Oregon Opportunity Grant funds —
said she understands that tough de
cisions must be made with the
budget, but that access to higher ed
ucation is in dire straits.
“We feel that students are already
facing an extremely unaffordable
educational system, and this will
just make it worse,” she said. “We
are definitely continuing to lobby
hard against (the reductions).”
Concerned individuals can con

Miller at (503) 986-1437 or com
mittee Vice-Chairman Sen. Steve
Harper, R-Klamath Falls, at (503)
986-1728.

Debt
continued from page 1
of the Executive’s budget and how
it has handled the current deficit.
Senate President Jackie Ray said
the way the Executive has dealt
with its election debt is very trou
bling to many senators. Groups
that ask for money must be able to
show that they are turning to the
senate as a last resort. Ray specifi
cally pointed to the Executive’s
spring fundraising account, which
contains more than $10,000 in
leftover funds.
Pilliojf said while the^ is a huge
sum of fundraising money leftover
from the spring ASUO Street Faire,
the money is traditionally ear
marked for the incoming Executive.
The Senate is also dissatisfied with
the Executive’s behavior because
they continued to spend money from
the account after they knew the mon
ey was gone. This violates the simple
purpose of a budget — do not spend
money that you do not have.
“They knew that they didn’t have
the money and continued to ex
haust their funds,” Ray said. “To go
that far in deficit is a lot of money to
explain.”
Ray said the Executive’s handling
of the special request and the over
all situation was questionable. Ray
said she was also troubled because
Pilliod did not approach her to dis
cuss the Senate’s reservations with
the request or to inform Ray that
she planned to withdraw the re
quest. However, Ray said she was re
lieved that the Executive decided to
pull its special request because the
issue might have caused friction be
tween the two government bodies.
“I think we were glad we weren’t go
ing to have to deal with it,” Ray said.
