<span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12pt;">The ASUO Senate passed a resolution to dedicate a portion of our Incidental Funds specifically towards supporting BIPOC students on campus and in the UO Community. While there are programs
and resources on campus that support BIPOC students, the ASUO Senate has voted to support BIPOC student success with
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><i>more</i></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> dedicated funding from Incidental funds.</span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin:0px;font:12px "Helvetica Neue";min-height:15px"><b></b><br>
</p>
<p class="p1" style="margin:0px;font:12px "Helvetica Neue""><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The intention of this survey is to acquire specific input on ways that more funding could be spent to support BIPOC students, assess needs on campus, and obtain ideas
directly from groups and individuals who work to support BIPOC students at the UO. Then, either fund an existing program with more I-Fee funds or establish a pilot program based on the needs survey for the following year. </span></p>
