Whereas, University of California Policies Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations and Students - UCI Implementation policies state [1]:

70.40 Use of University Name

1. A Registered Campus Organization shall not use the name of the University of California or abbreviations thereof as part of its own name. For the purpose of geographical designation, "at UCI" may be used as part of the directions.

2. A Registered Campus Organization may state that its membership is composed of students, faculty, and staff of the University of California, but shall not indicate or imply that it is acting on behalf of the University or with its approval or sponsorship.

As provided in Section 41.00 of these Policies, a Registered Campus Organization that uses University property, services, or other resources must avoid any unauthorized implication that it is sponsored, endorsed, or favored by the University.

Whereas, the Student Programming Funding Board Guidelines, state: “The Student Government Programs Coordinator must negotiate all contractual agreements (performance and honoraria).” (SPFB Guidelines, Guidelines for Expenditure of Student Programming Funds, Clause 10) [2]

Whereas, after consultation with the Student Programming Funding Board, the SPFB Commissioner, AJ Jalos, the ASUCI Interim Executive Co-Director, Mark Deppe, and UCI Risk Management, these bodies have determined that Clause 10 in SPFB Guidelines, Guidelines for Expenditure of Student Programming Funds is in possible violation of the University Policies stated herein,

Whereas, it is the opinion of the Student Programming Funding Board to remove this clause in order to avoid any violation of University Policy,

Whereas, contractual agreements for UC Irvine registered campus organizations that are funded by the Student Programming Funding Board will be the sole responsibility of the campus organization,

Whereas, the SPFB Guidelines state, “The Student Programming Funding Board has the ability to recommend changes to the Undergraduate Student Programming Funding Policy, but amendments must be enacted by a legislation passed by ASUCI Legislative Council with a two thirds majority” [1 - SPFB Guidelines, Student Programming Funding Board],

Whereas, the SPFB Commissioner, Arnold Joshua Jalos, and SPFB have recommended these changes be enacted,

Therefore, let it be resolved that SPFB Guidelines, Guidelines for Expenditure of Student Programming Funds, Clause 10 be struck from the SPFB Guidelines.
