Student fee
legal victory
fires debate
REGEVNA GREEN Senior Writer
A recent Wisconsin federal court ruling
stands to substantially change the allocation of
student fees at colleges and universities nationwide.
United States District Court Judge John C.
Shabaz's summer ruling instructed the University
of Wisconsin-Madison to produce a list of
student organizations receiving money from student
fees and establish an arbitration process
for those students who disagree with the use of
their fees to subsidize groups on the list.
The decision came after three UW-Madison
law students celebrated a legal victory in 1996.
Judge Shabaz ruled last year that the university
violated their rights to freedom of speech
and freedom not to associate by using their
student fees to fund organizations whose missions
they opposed.
The three plaintiffs, Kevin Bannach, Amy
Schoepke and Scott H. Southworth, had filed the
lawsuit because they objected to their student
activity fees, which amounted to about $331 per
I student, being used to fund organizations that
offended their beliefs. Among those organizations
were the Ten Percent Society (a gav and
lesbian organization) and the Wisconsin Militant
Student Union.
Southworth, who graduated from the university's
law school in May, celebrated their legal
victory last year, but Judge Shabaz's recent
directive has him surprised.
According to The Chronicle of Higher Education,
Southworth called the judge's ruling an
"administrative nightmare" and said he would
be "shocked" if university officials complied.
Southworth believes UW-Madison should
abolish the student fee and force each organization
to finance itself.
"I have no sympathy for those who say they
can't form a student group without money," Southworth
said. "You don't need money to exist. Let
the organizations survive or fail by the marketplace
of ideas."
The judge's order would only be put into effect
if the university chose to keep collecting the
fees.
Susanne Newman, USC's Student Government
treasurer, has been following the UW-Madison
case very closely.
"I know we're a little different than most
schools because our finance codes already take
steps to ensure that we don't fund organizations
of a political nature," Newman said. "But, I expect
that we may have to deal with that same
issue in the near future."
Newman believes that giving students the
privilege of almost directly deciding what organizations
receive funds, and essentially how much
they receive, may not succeed realistically, though
it may be a sound legal judgment.
