Title: ASM endorsement of the Madison Initiative

Sponsored by: ASM Chair Wiegand

Whereas, the ASM has gained feedback from thousands of students on campus in the form of online surveys, meetings with constituents, and meetings with student organizations,

Whereas, ASM leadership has met regularly with the Chancellor to discuss the Initiative,

Whereas, ASM believes the Madison Initiative is essential to ensure the accessibility and prestige of a Madison education,

Whereas, ASM strongly encourages the Chancellor to continue to pressure legislators, alumni, and other donors to make alternative funding sources more robust;

Therefore, the Associated Students of Madison acting in Student Council do enact as follows:

Be it resolved, that the ASM officially endorses the Madison Initiative;
