  • 14. Present Solution and recommendations: Recommendation 1: Mass e-mail to all students and faculty prior to the voting period allowing students the opportunity to reply to the e-mail with any questions Recommendation 2: Text messages to students who have registered a cell phone number with the University with the links to the websites the university has in place Recommendation 3: Pop up message with information regarding the initiative that students would read upon signing into my.utep.edu login
  • 15. Conclusion/Call to Action: By providing this information our group intends to inform UTEP’s students what the Student Life and Athletic Enhancement Initiative is. By implementing the solution provided by our group, UTEP’s chances of notifying nearly all students will increase thus ensuring the necessary votes to either pass or decline this initiative. Let’s get out there and vote.

Editor's Notes

  1. The current student service fee is $15 of which the athletic department receives $4. The initiative would add a separate fee specifically for the athletic department and the $4 portion of the student service fee would no longer go to the athletic department.If more than 50 percent of the students support the initiative then campus administration would need to draft the legislation that would go to the state legislature for adoption. Voting was scheduled from March 10 to March 11 however it was postponed at the last minute because of a temporary injunction filed by the UTEP Student Government Association Supreme Court. The election code requires an election commission to oversee the voting process and one had not been established for this initiative.This would be an increase of about 54%.
  2. This level of recognition brings more opportunities to the University and the City. A well funded athletic department would entice good athletes and coaches thus leading to successful sporting seasons and overwhelming support from the El Paso community.Although the Campus Life and Athletics Enhancement Initiative seem to be for the benefit of the athletic department, their lack of communication has led students to believe that the initiative will not benefit them.
