BILL HISTORY
For thousands of years, women have been s-ubject to oppression and discrimination
based solely on gender. While our society has made substantial advances in
recognizing the rights of women, institutional sexism and societal sexism has
prevented women from making advancements proportional to their efforts and
qualifications. Often times, financial resorces for education are inavailable to
women who are otherwise more than qualified to matriculate in institutions of
higher education. This shortage of money can also be the factor that keeps women
from persuing a degree, as non-traditional students, and advancing to their own self
determined potential.
·
The Women's Incentive Fund (WIF) has been created to eliminate, in part, this
. restriction that women encounter, and is available to them based on need. As the
sources for this fund grow, the bonds that society places on women will begin to ·
deteriorate as we per sue a nonsexist society.
This year's WIF applicants as well as the coordinators and students will attend a
WIF Awareness reception on April 9 at 12-2pm to meet the applicants and find out
more about the WIF.
BILL SUMMARY
This bill allocates $220.00 + GAR from Central Reserve to fund publications for
the WIF applicants reception on April 9th at 12 - 2pm in Koenig Alumni Center.
