IN BRIEF
New appointments allow
PFC to continue hearings
During a special meeting Monday
night, the ASUO Student Senate ap
proved appointments to the Pro
grams Finance Committee, enabling
the PFC process to continue after be
ing halted two weeks ago due to in
junctions placed against three of the
committee’s members.
Senators approved senior Mike
Sherman to Seat 3 and freshman
Jared Axelrod to the PFC at-large
position formerly occupied by Dan
Kieffer, filling all positions on the
seven-member committee.
Kieffer, along with PFC members
Mason Quiroz and Eden Cortez, re
ceived injunctions from the ASUO
Constitution Court preventing them
from voting after the PFC’s controver
sial hearing of the Oregon Commenta
tor’s budget Feb. 1. The court has since
extended the injunction against
Quiroz, and Kieffer has resigned.
Sherman served on the Senate for
the past two years. Axelrod is a former
ASUO intern.
PFC chairwoman Persis Pohowalla
said the appointments will allow her
committee to resume meeting tonight.
During the meeting, Pohowalla
said it was “unfortunate” the injunc
tions have prevented committee
members from “functioning as prop
er committee members,” but said her
main concern is the “entire budget”
because the PFC has exceeded its
funding benchmark. She said the
PFC has until March 31 to submit a
finished budget to University Presi
dent Dave Frohnmayer after it is
approved by the Senate.
She said if the PFC does not submit
a budget that is approved, groups will
be funded at last year’s levels.
During the meeting, Quiroz urged
the Senate not to approve the appoint
ments because he said it would result
in inexperienced PFC members sitting
in on hearings of budgets that will be
reassessed later in the process.
Senate President James George said
Quiroz could still be the “knowledge
able voice at those meetings,” even
though Quiroz can’t vote.
Quiroz also expressed concerns
with the hiring process, which he said
did not include sufficient input from
PFC members.
Several senators said they approved
of the appointments.
“I feel confident that the executive
... did well in their hiring process,”
Senator Nick Hudson said.

Cortez: Committees will

perceived problems.
The*group consists of nine former
members of Eugene’s Racial Profil
ing Task Force who resigned in
protest following Jordan’s allega
tions, including Police Chief Robert
Lehner, Eugene Police Department
analyst Linda Phelps and other
community members.
The Eugene Police Commission
contracted with the Police Assess
ment Resource Center to research
and analyze different complaint mod
els after the City Council allotted
$65,000 for the task in July.
The center’s report, which out
lined 30 possible oversight mecha
nisms, was released Feb. 2, and
since then two community meetings
have been held to verse the public on
the findings.
The Eugene Police Commission
has two committees that will meet
numerous times in March and April
to give the public opportunities to
discuss the complaint process and
make suggestions for improvements.

Disaster: Program serves state
and teaches graduate students

storm waters present to facilities.
The workgroup will even look into
business losses the University might
incur at the hands of a natural disaster.
“The University of Oregon is one of
only four universities in the western
United States to receive new funding
under the Pre-Disaster Mitigation Dis
aster Resistant University Program,”
FEMA Region 10 Director John Pen
nington said in a press release. “Ore
gon has been a national leader in dis
aster mitigation.”
ONHW is an educational program
offered by the University that both
serves the state and helps to teach
graduate students.
The program is small, LeDuc said,
but provides the highest level of the
graduate learning experience. It is
mentor-based and embeds students in
the target communities for a year.
The workgroup uses partnerships
with communities, cities and the state
to work on mitigation plans in every
comer of the state.
“We really try to build that bridge
between academia and the real
world,” LeDuc said.
