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

$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.

currently in the pay between an entry

pretty equal.Zack Goytowski,

of a global con-spiracy to push theories such as climate change. Is

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

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,

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

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.
