UWM STUDENT ASSOCIATION PROFESSIONAL STAFF (SAPS) OFFICE ISSUES

On April 21, 2013 the UWM Student Association passed the 'Student Association Professional

Staff Non-Renewal Act' as evidenced by the minutes of the meeting and the livestream of the

meeting: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/32634563 .

To reiterate the issues in the passed legislation:

On March 10th, 2013 the UWM Student Association

(http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/29895365 and the meeting minutes) changed the SAPS

funding module from three years to a one year module. Then they approved a decrease in

the funding for SAPS to $0.00 for the next fiscal year.

Again, On April 21, 2013 the UWM Student Association passed the attached 'Student

Association Professional Staff Non-Renewal Act'

The Student Association Professional Staff (SAPS) Office is an office within the Dean of

Students Office.

Under UW-System Financial Policy 50 (F50), UW-

System Financial Policy G15, and the G15

matrix, student services under the Dean of Students Office are not eligible to receive

Segregated University Fee (SUF) funding. The Student Association reaffirmed this in the Act in question and the passed act

reallocated the SAPS funds (except those to meet SAPS Director David Stockton's

contractual obligations until June 2013 [3 months after enactment of the act, respecting

University Policy]), to the Senate Finance Committee (SFC) as the segregated university

fee allocations committee (SUFAC) of the University.

David Stockton is still working within SAPS and being paid with segregated fees.

As evidenced by the segregated fee plan for Fall 2013

(http://www4.uwm.edu/bfs/depts/bursar/tuition/fall13seg.cfm), the University is charging

UWM students segregated fees for the SAPS office, in direct violation of the Student

Association funding decision.

Page 46: UWM Student Association Professional Staff Issues

i. Discussion:

1. Siddique: Have the complaints that have been allegedly

filled to the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs been

made known, Scott: no they have been not, we’re

investigating the complaints only that have been made

through our own processes. Saddique: If there is to be

an investigation into complaints already filled though

the court, why would the Senate be involved in Court

business, Scott: It’s our own independent review of the

process as the Chief Justice served as the IEC. Siddique: I

believe this is unnecessary for us as the court will

handle it.

2. Heimerl: Motion to strike Deputy Speaker of the Senate

Chair of the Senate, seconded by Breit-Nickelson. Scott:

do you want to add another Senate Seat, Heimerl: no,

three is good, Vote: Passed U with 6 abstentions.

bylaws.

Nay by Hiemerl, Abstentions by Brown and Erwin.

IX. Old Business

i. SB1213-029- Resolution Against UWM Policy S-42.5

1. Scott: Reaffirms case law, specifically Spotto v. Board of

Regents that states that all Shared Governance groups

affected by a University wide policy needs to agree and

that has not been the case at our University, this will

bring is into compliance.

a. Senator Breit-Nickelson: I’m not sure about case

law? Scott: As the VP stated at the last meeting,

we will be looking at thing all the way back to the

merger as the case reaffirmed what should have

been happening all along. Saddique: Reaffirmed

what DS Scott said.

b. Siddique: Motion to approve, seconded by

hoc committee in the University Special Unit on

the Ratification Unit on the Ratification of Policy

Charge, second by VP Rettinger: Passed U

X. New Business

a. SB1213-033- Student Association Professional Staff Non-Renewal Act

i. DS Scott: The Senate took a strong stand with the SAPS office

with the SFC process, taking into account Regent policy F50,

G15, and G15 Funding Matrix, we can’t even fund the SAPS

Page 48: UWM Student Association Professional Staff Issues

office, there are some contractual obligations that will be

respected out of good faith.

1. Discussion:

a. Uibel: The reserve funds are being transferred

back to SFC? Scott: Yes, Uibel: Move to approve,

seconded by Rasch. Passed U with 2 abstentions:

Breit-Nickelson and Groth.

b. SB1213-034- New Student Union Referendum

i. DS Scott: A lot of student are wondering what’s going on with

the project, it hasn’t been approved by the regents, no progress

has been made, is the shared governance climate here ready

for a student driven project, has concerns that there are parties

on campus that are not behind students having a direct role in

driving the process.

1. Siddique: Motion to approve, second by Brown-Holland:

a. Discussion:

i. Siddique: We are the Stewarts of

Segregated fees, and as such should take

this up to identify the continuing support

of student with the project.

ii. Uibel: Does the UPB Chair have any

comment: UPB Chair Ludwig: Board voted

U for it, Union Director vetoed it, Faculty

have publicly stated that students should

be involved in the process their directly

funding, not just signing a check. The

Shared Gov. Climate on campus is a

disaster, students are completely ignored,

SFC moved money to CAB for Pantherfest

and then CAB’s role is completely cut out,

Vice Chancellor Laliberte has stated that

Page 49: UWM Student Association Professional Staff Issues

UPB is not a recognized governance

group, so I personally have no confidence

in the shared governance climate here at

UWM. There’s no communication, can’t

get meetings, bad attitudes, do what you

want, but that’s just my opinion.

iii. Jenson: Does the 160 million dollars

included the contingency fee of some 4

million dollars. UPB Chair Ludwig: I am

not sure at this time, I know that

enrollment is going down so that it is

major concern as the 160 million is no

longer 160 million dollars.

iv. Siddique: DS Scott has included language

in the referendum proposal that talks

about feedback from the students in what

they want in the new union, how would

the SA go about communicating that back

to the UPB. Scott: I see this being very

similar to the language used in the

referendum from last year and I would

think the committee and the SA would

handle the feedback. Siddique: Who is

formatting the language? Scott: The

Committee would and the Chair of UPB is

a member of the Committee.

v. Passed U with 1 abstention: Erwin

vi. DS Scott: Move to charge the New Union

Referendum Special Committee, second

by Siddique:

Page 50: UWM Student Association Professional Staff Issues

1. Siddique: Move to add a 4th SA

Senator, second to Rasch

a. Jenson: Motion to amend

the amendment to add a

student who is not an

officer in the SA as an at-

large member, seconded by

Breit-Nickelson.

i. Siddique: I ask that

this motion be

withdrawn as it

would take undue

time to find students

at-large, Jenson: I

can have somebody

by next week,

Siddique: This

should be open to

everyone.
