Only four senators voted yes to amend the ASUI Rules and Regulations and reduce their own paychecks after sub-stantial debate during Wednes-days senate meeting.
The bill aimed to equalize pay between the ap-pointed executive branch of ASUI and elected sena-tors. The bill also provided addi-tional compensa-tion to senators at any point during their term.
I am ex-tremely disap-pointed in senate with their deci-sion to not pass this bill. I think that we have an extreme equity issue in ASUI and its really unfair that our senators get paid up to $25 more than executive PHPEHUV$68,3UHVLGHQW6D-mantha Perez said.
Max Cowan proposed the bill and Zack Goytowski spon-sored it.
What this bill would have done is reduced incoming VHQDWRUSD\IRUUVWWHUPVIURP
$100 to $80 and it would have also changed when you receive SD\ LQFUHDVHVCowan said. The reason why is because sena-tors do get paid more than many members of the executive branch who, in my opinion, do com-parable work and put in comparable HIIRUW
Cowan said it is impossible for board chairs and
directors to receive the same pay as second-term senators under the current ASUI Rules and Regulations, which he be-lieves is wrong.

pretty equal.Zack Goytowski,

The family of 22-year-old gradu-ate student Katy Benoit and the Uni-versity of Idaho announced they reached a settlement Thursday follow-LQJWKHWRUWFODLPOHGE\WKH%HQRLWV in December.
Benoit died Aug. 22 after being shot 11 times with a .45 cal handgun by former UI assistant professor of psychology Ernesto A. Bustamante. Bustamante was found dead from a VHOILQLFWHG JXQVKRWZRXQG$XJ in a Moscow hotel. The two were in-volved in a sexual relationship.
The settlement resulted in a mon-etary amount currently unreleased XQWLODOOSDUWLHVKDYHRIFLDOO\VLJQHGthe documents, which should occur Friday, according to university spokes-man Judd Wilson.
The following improvements on behalf of the university will also occur as a result of the settlement:

option for the anti-intellectual wing of the American right, which has spent years trying to create its own personal science, even going so far as to accuse the worlds scientists of being part of a global con-spiracy to push theories such as climate change. Is it any wonder that our school-children, growing up in a climate that disregards science in favor of politics, lag EHKLQGWKHUHVWRIWKHZRUOGLQVFLHQWLFknowledge and achievement?
Only a tiny minority of scientists refuses to accept theories such as evolu-tion, which are accepted by nearly all scientists in the world. In fact, a move-ment called Project Steve has shown that more scientists accept evolution and are named Steve than scientists of any name who do not.
Its tempting to ignore anti-science Americans, but theres a cost. Three-quarters of Americans may accept global climate change now, but we may be past the point of no return.
Its time for Americans to stop politi-cizing science. Its time to stop demon-izing scientists and perpetuating an anti-intellectual climate in America, and encourage our children to become the sci-entists that will help to keep this country moving forward.

Student loan debt would be completely forgiven after 10 years of public service under a proposed plan by a top federal HGXFDWLRQRIFLDOZKLFKZRXOGDOVRVWULYHto make the United States the number one producer of college graduates within the decade.
United States Secretary of Education Arne Duncan gave a talk on college affordability in Madison, Wisc. Wednesday, focusing on several different reforms he said are necessary to improve the countrys education system by making schooling more affordable.
Shortly after his appointment by President Barack Obama in 2009, Duncan helped introduce a plan for the income-based repayment program.
Under the proposed plan, student loan payments would be reduced for college graduates in low-paying jobs, and loans would be forgiven after 10 years for per-
sons in certain public service occupations, such as teachers, SROLFHRIFHUVDQGUHJKWHUV
If youre getting paid more money, you pay more back, and if youre getting paid less money, you pay less back,
Duncan said. All your debt would be HUDVHG:HUHWU\LQJWRUHPRYHWKDWQDQ-cial impediment.
Focus on the growing student loan debt problem was brought to the national stage three weeks ago when a report by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau found student loan debt in the country had
reached a total of $1 trillion and surpassed WRWDOFUHGLWFDUGGHEWIRUWKHUVWWLPHLQWKHcountrys history.
Duncan also supports Obamas goal for the United States to produce the highest percentage of college graduates by the year 2020. The United States is currently ranked 16th in the world.
While Duncan mostly focused on reforms to education policy at the federal level, he also warned states cutting their education budgets are seeing a lower quality form of education that ends up costing more.
However, after the recent implementa-tion of the budget repair bill that cut educa-tion funding in the state, some groups are saying these cuts are not hurting the state and are instead improving the system by saving teachers jobs.
