Synopsis: EVP External Affairs Budget Reallocation of Funding from Statewide Legislative Affairs Programming to Student Lobby Conference
Date of Presentation: 1/29/2013
 

Whereas, ASUCI and the Executive Vice President’s Office seeks to “empower students with the knowledge and resources to be agents of their own University”; and

Whereas, the 2013 Student Lobby Conference, taking place March 1st - 4th, provides UCI students with the opportunity to be advocates on statewide legislative issues that directly affect our state, our students, and our University; and

Whereas, the Executive Vice President’s Office is committed to promoting statewide advocacy and the empowerment of students; and

Whereas, the Student Lobby Conference upholds this commitment but giving the students the opportunity to lobby Senators and Assemblymembers to prioritize higher education to make them accountable to their constituency; and

Whereas, it is the responsibility for the Executive Vice President’s Office to provide all UCI students with the opportunity to attend the conference; and

Whereas, the Executive Vice President’s plans to take 80 undergraduate students to the conference, making UC Irvine the largest delegation in the entire UC system; and

Whereas, the Executive vice President’s Office has a shortage of $500 in the Student Lobby Conference Account needed to cover transportation costs in order to take all 80 students up to Sacramento; and

Let it be resolved, that Legislative Council approve the following transfer of funding:

$500 from the Statewide Programming (6423-7160) to the Student Lobby Conference Account (6409-7160).
