Programs Finance Committee

| Welcome to the Programs Finance Committee Homepage. We apologize that this page wasn't updated earlier but we appreciate your cooperation. For IMMEDIATE RELEASE 2/23/02 During the past few weeks, there has been misinformation and misperception regarding the ASUO Programs Finance Committee. We feel the need to address these concerns, and shed some light on recent decisions that have been made. Myth: PFC has never done
recalls before.
Fact: Every year, for at
least the last 3 years, PFC has done recalls.
There was simply much more publicity this year than in the past. Myth:
A
calculation error of $535,000 forced PFC to undertake recalls. Fact: The calculation error
did not affect PFC to the tune of $535,000.
Once the error was discovered, the Student Senate increased our benchmark
to the allowed 80%, so as to allow for growth within programs. However, even
without the error, PFC would have been forced to recall groups. Myth: PFC programs are
suffering because ballot measures were incorporated into the PFC budget this
year. Fact:
PFC received special permission from the students during the fall special
election to have an unusually high benchmark in order to accommodate the
incorporation of the ballot measures. Also, PFC programs received a higher
percentage and dollar amount of growth than the ballot measures. Myth:
PFC arbitrarily chose which budgets to recall. Fact: There was a specific
reason for recalling every budget, simply based upon numbers.
People
have expressed a strong desire to know why each budget was recalled.
Here is a short justification for each budget recall. *The
following programs were recalled because they received substantial increases
during their initial budget hearing: Counseling
