A Bill

Bill History

In recent years, during the budget process, the UCSU Legislative Council has required that the Women's Resource Center generate revenue as a part of their budget. The Women's Resource Center is a unique cost center that provides many services, however, it should not be required to generate revenue as this detracts from the mission of the WRC and makes it less productive. Because of this, the WRC has had to save the amount of mandated self-generated revenue and apply it to their budget each year. This basically is a cut in their budget for the past few years and is counterproductive to a functioning small cost center. Most of the other small cost centers under UCSU's jurisdiction are not required to generate revenue.

Bill Summary

This bill ensures that the Women's Resource Center will never be required by Legislative Council or Finance Board to self-generate revenue.

THEREFORE BE IT ENACTED by the Legislative Council of the University of Colorado Student Union, THAT,

SECTION 1: Mandated self-generated revenue does not parallel the mission of the Women's Resource Center and is detrimental to the WRC.

SECTION 2: Neither the UCSU Legislative Council, nor the finance board, shall require that the Women's Resource Center self-generate revenue.

SECTION 3: This bill takes effect upon passage by Legislative Council and upon obtaining the signature of the Council President and the Tri-executives.
