ASUO President Isaiah Boyd
Rather than funding tickets to sports events, University of Oregon students will have access to a basic needs program.
The UO’s Board of Trustees approved the Associated Students of the University Oregon (ASUO) government’s request to not pay UO athletics an annual $1.8 million from incidental fees that students pay in their tuition. For a university that uses football and sports for recruitment, officials say the change won’t impact their strategies, and the ASUO president says addressing basic needs such as food and shelter could make the university more attractive for future students.
The change is effective for the 2021-22 academic year and can be undone by future student governments.
