<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I went to the ASUO townhall last night on their decision to cancel their $1.7M contract with the athletics department, after meeting with some ASUO Senators about it. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">At the town hall the students discussed their decision and the UO administration’s counter proposal. I also learned that Elliot and Spike had signed on as Senate Pres and VP, as sponsors to an ASUO Senate proposal to accept this counter, which
would impose a new mandatory fee on students to the athletic department. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The ASUO Senate met last night after the townhall, and voted to reject this resolution and the counterproposal. My understanding is that their negotiations with the administration continue. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’m writing because i don’t think the Senate leadership should be encouraging ASUO to accept proposals like this, and certainly not without informing us. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The motion is below.<br class="">
