Student leaders from Associated Students of Madison and the Student Services Finance Committee will present Chancellor John Wiley with campus budgets today.

The budgets debated last semester would significantly increase allocable segregated fees.

Jessica Miller, chair of ASM, said she expects Wiley to pass the 12 budgets without problems, unless a university violation was broken inadvertently.

“It’s a pretty straightforward process,” Miller said. “It’s a time for us to sit down with the chancellor and let him know how the process works.”

The councils have been working on the auxiliary and general student-service funds budgets all school year, beginning with the eligibility hearings in September. The auxiliary budgets deal more with institutionalized services, such as the Union and University Health Services, which have used as much as 44 percent of student segregated fees in past years. They come from non-allocable fees and make up the bulk of student-service money. The GSSF budgets are allocable and finance organizations run by students, such as the Multicultural Student Center and the Campus Women’s Center.

After the chancellor approves the budgets, they will be sent to the UW System and the Board of Regents. Groups won’t hear about their budgets until late summer, a fact that has been a source of frustration for many organizations.

“It’s a pretty lengthy process,” Miller admitted. “There is lots of paperwork that has to be done.”

However, she said students should feel assured by the process.

“I think it’s a good thing the chancellor looks hard at what we’re doing,” Miller said.
