Eugene, Ore. — A University of Oregon student Senate committee disregarded the state's open meetings law, according to student government President Sam Dotters-Katz.
The Associated Students of the University of Oregon Senate Over-Realized Committee conducted a meeting May 13 to begin evaluating student groups' requests for access to the university's over-realized fund. The fund, which accumulates as enrollment unexpectedly increases, built up more than $735,000 for the 2007-08 academic year. The meeting, according to Dotters-Katz and Oregon Daily Emerald Editor in Chief Laura Powers, violated Oregon's public reports and meetings law.
