[Uosenate] Fwd: ASUO Senate Public Forum 4 PM 2/2/21

[Senate Pres Elliot Berkman]

Good afternoon, Senators,

I want to alert you to an emergency meeting of the ASUO Senate this afternoon to discuss some proposed changes to how students allocate the I Fee funds to support athletics. ASUO President Claire O’Connor has asked that we help get the word out to students about this meeting, which will take place today from 4-6pm. I have just sent a note to Psychology undergrads and I suspect many undergraduates in your departments might be interested to have their voices heard by the ASUO Senate on this issue as well. This afternoon is a good opportunity to do so.

Please see Claire’s message below for details. Thanks,

- Ell

> The ASUO has been in discussion with the University of Oregon administration over the athletics agreement through which students pay for their student tickets. This year's ASUO administration decided that the use of I Fee funds to purchase tickets was unfair due to the price we were paying, and the way tickets are allocated and distributed, therefore, on Saturday, January 30, the ASUO Legislative branch voted to discontinue the current athletics agreement. University of Oregon administration approached the ASUO yesterday about this decision, and late last night, President Michael Schill and Senate President Claire O'Connor negotiated a new proposal of a restructured system to secure student tickets to athletic events. If you would like to ask questions or hear more details, the ASUO will be having an open public forum from 4-6 pm and all students are welcome to come learn more and voice their opinions before the ASUO Senate votes on the proposal during an open meeting from 6-6:30 pm. Please consider using this opportunity to learn more and voice your opinion. This is the link to the public forum.
