BILL HISTORY
The Colorado Student Association has reemerged after a period of dormancy. The .
group hired a staff person and opened a Denver office in October. Currently the
group is focused on solidifying l ts organiza tiona! base and developing a legislative
program. At this point the group has received full or partial funding from five
schools, wlth three other schools likely to join soon. Several funding referendums
are approaching, including votes at CU and CSU. Current legislative issues include
the defeat of HB 1202 which would have restricted student government control of
student fees, SB 89 which would set minimum funding levels for financial aid, and
the higher education budget.
CSA 's purpose is to promote student access to high quality, low cost higher
education and is dedicated to developing strong student leadership to protect
student rights. It functions as a communications network to improve the sharing of
ideas and information between student governments. The mission and p~rpose of
CSA is in accordance with the goals of UCSU. The continued viability of CSA is
dependent on having sufficent funds to operate until the fall funding cycle
commences. An appropriation of $3,000 combined with supplement~:d income from
other schools would allow CSA to work until fall income arrives.
BILL SUMMARY
This bill would allocate an amount not to exceed $3,000.00 + GAR from SOR for
supplemental CSA funding to carry the organization through to the fall funding
cycle.
BE IN ENACTED by the Legislative Council of the University of Colorado Student
Union, THAT:
