A RESOLUTION
WHEREAS:

Many national political issues, despite their merits, do not
directly affect students at the University of Colorado; and,

WHEREAS:

Student fees should be utilized to benefit the students who
pay them; and,

WHEREAS:

Student fee expentitures by the Executive Council indicate single,
unified political views on campus, when in fact, many views
exist.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Executive Council of the University of
Colorado Student Union, THAT:
SECTION 1:

UCSU Executive Council shall avoid, whenever possible, spending
student fee money to advocate a particular view on a national political
issue, unless students are directly affected, as with the
Financial Aid campaign.

SECTION 2:

Mandatory student fees should not be expended to propagate issues
which are not clearly of immediate concern to the students of
the Boulder campus of the University of Colorado. These issues
shall consist of those pertaining to academic concerns, faculty,
facilities, or student rights.
In order to expend monies outside of
these concerns the University of Colorado Student Union
should be directed to do so by a student referendum specifically
mentioning the expenditure of monies.
