Student Assembly

Rationale of the Committee

The Committee felt that Women’s Resource Center provides a terrific service to undergraduates and committee members appreciated the diversity of programming. Members believed that the WRC should expand their programming and support of programs and should receive an increase in funding. Many also felt that since WRC had not asked for a raise since 1998, the organization was a good candidate for an increase in SAF funding.

However, some on the Committee felt that $1.66 was too great of an increase and cautioned against a large increase in the context of a high amount of pressure on the SAF from other groups. Some members felt that the WRC’s level of cosponsorships was sufficient at its current level for the next funding process as well as commented that the Consent Ed program should see a more modest increase than proposed. Overall, the Committee appreciated the fact that the WRC was prudent with its SAF funding and felt that an increase in its by-line funding allocation would be used effectively.
