GALLERY VIEWPOINT Debate comes too late In what may be the most controversial budget cut to date, the Texas Union Board voted Friday to close one of the Uni- versity’s cultural touchstones: the Cactus Cafe, an intimate on- campus live-music venue. Informal classes, a popular commu- nity-education program for students and non-students, didn’t escape the heavy swing of the budget ax, either. Add to the flames the Tuition Policy Advisory Commit- tee’s recommendation to raise tuition by 3.95 percent for two consecutive academic years, administrative plans to cut lec- turer positions and even more anticipated budget realloca- tions, and you have a volatile mass of students, faculty, staff and community members. President William Powers Jr.’s town hall meeting today to discuss budget issues couldn’t come at a more urgent time — and that’s the problem. Throughout the budget-cutting process, decisions have been made behind closed doors — first with TPAC’s militant insistence that students and reporters be shut out of meet- ings, and now with the Union Board’s decision, which was sprung unawares on the public via a 225-word press release on its Web site. While these entities are not under a legal obligation to open their meetings to the public or post an agenda or min- utes, the lack of transparency is troubling. For the most part, students in leadership positions on these boards and committees were elected by the student body to serve students. With the exception of three faculty members appointed by Powers, the Union Board’s voting members are students who were elected — including the Student Govern- ment president — or appointed by elected student officers. The Cactus and UT’s profit-driven problem TPAC is composed of faculty, administrators and four students — three of whom were also elected by the stu- By Austin Van Zant ply by raising the Texas Union’s allocation um.
