GSC resolution halts fee committee’s
activities due to lack of representatioi
□ Student Body
President Toby Boenig
wants to have two
more graduate student
representatives on the
fee allocation
committee by this
evening.
By Tara Wilkinson

The Texas A&M Graduate
Student Council passed a resolu
tion Thursday calling for the im
mediate halt of the Student Gov
ernment Student Services Fee
Allocation Committee’s activi
ties, because of bylaw violations
regarding graduate student rep
resentation on the committee.
The GSC resolution called for
disbandment of the fee alloca
tion committee, annulment of all
committee action taken this se
mester and removal of the com
mittee chairwoman.
Fee allocation committee by
laws state that three graduate
students should sit on the com
mittee. That number is based on
the proportional number of grad
uate students to undergraduate
students at A&M.
Although only one graduate
student is currently serving on
the fee allocation committee, two
committee business meetings
have been conducted.
Amy Kardell, GSC past pres
ident, proposed the resolution
and said the fee allocation com
mittee should be re-formed be
cause GSC representatives
have been left out of committee
procedures this semester.
“It has gone awry,” Kardell
said. “We need this committee to
start fresh and right. This is
supposed to be a high-integrity
committee, and they just aren’t
acting that way.”
The GSC attempted to contact
Kelli Harman, fee allocation
committee chairwoman, several
times to find out details about
committee meetings, but never
received the information.
Harman said she never re
ceived messages from McKee and
would have responded if she had.
“I really hope Shelly does not
feel I avoided her,” Harman said.
“That’s the last thing I would do,
because I really wanted represen
tation on the committee.
“Maybe where I went wrong is
that the second I realized there
weren’t enough grad students, I
should have gotten on the horn
and stopped things.”
Only two graduate students
applied for membership on the
fee allocation committee.
Applications for fee committee
membership were made avail
able for one week at the begin
ning of the semester, but many
graduate students were unaware
of that because the deadline had
passed before the first GSC
meeting of the semester.
Kardell was the only graduate
student who initially applied,
and she was rejected. The fee al
location deadline was then ex
tended, and one more graduate
student applied. That student
was accepted to the committee.
Harman said that when she
extended the application dead
line, she put a memorandum
regarding the application
process in GSC President
Stephen! Moore’s box and
placed an advertisement in The
Battalion.
“I felt they had every resource
and outlet that every other stu
dent at A&M had to know about
it,” Harman said.
Kardell and Moore both said
they think the application process
was handled unprofessionally.
Harman wrote the application
questions, reviewed the applica
tions and made committee mem
bership decisions herself.
"There is a University stan
dard,” Kardell said, “and I can
tell you that this application
procedure did not adhere to
those standards.”
However, Harman saidtlt
application procedure followd
committee bylines, which doiw
require her to discuss herds
sion with anyone else.
In fact, Harman said she#
untarily discussed the applies
tions with the committee ad#
er, who supported her decisi®
not to appoint Kardell.
“I felt that in her application,
her answers showed thatili
had a personal agenda anh
negative attitude,” Harmansaii
“I felt like we needed anobjet
tive and impartial personbe
cause of the seriousness of th
committee’s job.”
Toby Boenig, A&M student
body president, said thatal
though there have been sew
communication problems,be
thinks the GSC resolutionis
unnecessary.
“I don’t think Kelli should be
asked to resign,” Boenig said,1
understand them wanting!)
stop the process, but I thinkw
can add two more graduateata
dents and continue from there,’
Boenig said his goal istoap
point two graduate students to
the committee by 5 p.m. today.
The new GSC commite
members, he said, will be
brought up-to-date on all fee al
location committee activities
since the start of the semester,
