Item Number: 95 Legislation Number (B: Bill, R: Resolution): R49-82
Author:   Patrick Chen   Second:  Naaila Mohammed
Synopsis: SPFB By-Law Amendment: Funding Guidelines
Date of Presentation: 4-3-14
 

Whereas the ASUCI Student Programming Funding Board (SPFB) provides funding allocations to Registered Campus Organizations (RCO) for programming events throughout the academic year and;

Whereas SPFB funding is allocated following review of funding request application and interview with the SPFB members and is currently determined through an informal rubric based, tiered funding system that funds programs at 15% interval tiers and;

 

Whereas the SPFB funding account for the 2013-2014 academic year has been exhausted due to funding allocations to over 60 RCO’s this year so far and;

 

Whereas there are RCO’s that will request SPFB funding during the Spring Quarter but will be denied funding if more funding is not made available to the SPFB account and;

 

Whereas SPFB by-laws must be amended to prevent such a situation in the future that is harmful to both ASUCI and the student body it serves and;

 

Therefore let it be resolved that Funding Policy of the SPFB By-Laws be amended with the changes shown below in bold and any following list numbers will be adjusted accordingly:

 

5) To ensure that funding is available all year, the following funding restrictions must be adhered to by the Student Programming Funding Board

  • Funding requests may not exceed $10,000

  • Single funding categories (ie: Facility, Staff_Tech) may not be funded more than $7,500

  • The Funding Board may not fund more than 75% of starting SPFB funds for the Fall and Winter Quarters combined - at least 25% of starting funds must be still available during the Spring Quarter

  • The Undergraduate Student Programming Commissioner will consult in person with the ASUCI Financial Advisor monthly and make available monthly budget updates to the other Funding Board members and the public through the ASUCI website
