PFC votes down stipend model reform
The EMU Boardroom was packed tonight, as the PFC voted to table the proposed stipend reform indefinately. The meeting got off to an unexpected start, when At Large Member Matt Rose asked Chairman Oscar Guerra to step down for sending this email. When Guerra declined, the matter was brought to vote, and soon Vice Chair Micah Kosasa was running the meeting.
The crowd set the tone for the evening, beginning by dumping the entire stock of magazines in front of the Commentator office into the adjacent recycling bins, and ending with an angry rant from Ty Schwoefferman. If the PFC had any faith in the proposed reform, it evaporated into the stuffy atmosphere. At Large Member Annie Blomberg called it “a work in progress,” PFC Senator Sunowen was adamant that she didn’t want to see groups lose money, nobody wanted to be associated with the idea, and its merits weren’t much discussed. Matt Rose made the motion to table, and it was passed. The PFC decided to hold a forum on the issue. That’s when Ty started shouting “THIS IS THE FORUM. THIS IS THE FUCKING FORUM!!” Then I passed out. When I came to, people were still talking about it. I left.
