Faculty Senate

Resolution Opposing the Use of University of Wisconsin – La Crosse Campus

Auxiliary Account Funds as a Revenue Source for Student Financial Aid

Whereas, UW System Campus Auxiliary Fund accounts have specified objectives and planned uses, and

Whereas, UW Student Fees are the primary source of revenues for these Auxiliary Fund Accounts, and

Whereas, diminishing the amounts in these accounts would have an adverse affect on the objectives and planned uses of these funds, and

Whereas, the loss of any Auxiliary Funds could negatively impact classroom renovations, building repairs, technology improvements, and other academically related uses, and

Whereas, student fees would have to be increased to replace these transferred funds,

Therefore, be it resolved that the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse Faculty Senate opposes the transfer of campus Auxiliary Funds as included in the Wisconsin FY 2009-2010 proposed State Budget.
