CWC to appeal to student judiciary

The UW-Madison Student Judiciary addressed the Campus Women Center’s recently filed complaint at its meeting Thursday.

According to a press release from the CWC, the student organization “filed a general complaint arising under the laws of the ASM.” 

The CWC’s complaint contained two grounds for appeal against the Student Services Finance Committee and its decision to deny the CWC eligibility for funding.

The CWC’s first basis for appeal alleges the SSFC made “inaccurate interpretations” of the CWC’s direct services. The second claim by the CWC alleges that the SSFC’s appeals process was inadequate.

According to the release, “the CWC hopes the Student Judiciary will acknowledge the center’s complaint of SSFC’s procedural violation during its meetings, which would allow the CWC to apply for an appeal.”

SSFC members have previously stated the eligibility and appeal decisions were in accord with ASM bylaws.
