ASM hears SSFC chair's Campus Service Fund, discusses effects

Student Services Finance Committee Chair Matthew Manes presented the SSFC strategic plan to the Associated Students of Madison Wednesday.

The main focuses of the strategic plan are the creation of the Campus Services Fund and the College Student Council Fund.

The Campus Services Fund ensures that students would have access to tutoring, legal and sexual-assault services.

Members of ASM voiced concerns about how the fund could negatively affect some student groups by detracting from the services they provide.

Manes said these concerns have been brought up before and SSFC will consider them when planning the specifics of the Campus Services Fund.

""The concerns are nothing that haven't already been brought up before, and we're working on addressing most of those,"" Manes said.

The College Student Council Fund will endorse relations between student organizations and ""professional involvement and development outside the classroom.""

Framework for the CSC fund will be drafted in December.

ASM Vice Chair Adam Johnson said he is excited SSFC has a strategic plan.

""I think it's great that we actually have a strategic plan from them this year. Usually SSFC is concerned with the needs of the immediate future … and I think it's very intelligent to be looking ahead,"" he said.

Aside from SSFC's strategic plan, ASM heard proposals to add a Webmaster position to the council and to remove the requirement for Student Council members to attend at least one United Council Convention per semester.

These changes in bylaws will be further addressed at next Wednesday's ASM meeting.
