Synopsis: Allocation of funds to Food Pantry Initiative
Date of Presentation: 2016-04-05
 

Whereas, food insecurity is a rising issue on college campuses,

 
Whereas, students shouldn't have to choose between education and good nutrition,
 
Whereas, the Food Pantry Initiative tackles this problem and serves to both undergraduate and graduate students,
 
Whereas, the Food Pantry Initiative helps increase productivity, and therefore the academics, by decreasing students' stress that derives from the dilemma of whether to eat or pay for school,
 
Whereas, the Food Pantry Initiative could use funds from ASUCI Legislative Council's unallocated account to better campaign for its cause,
 
Whereas, members of the ASUCI Legislative Council feel that a good use of these funds will be in contribution to the Food Pantry Initiative,
 
Let it be resolved that ASUCI Legislative Council withdraw $600  from its unallocated account #6501-7115 and allocate to account number 206Soar in support of the Food Pantry Initiative and an additional $600 set aside for the "no" campaign.
