The SGA Appropriations Committee
The Appropriations Committee is a standing committee of the Student Senate within the SGA who allocate student fee dollars to organizations who present plausible and prudent cases for need. Since the abolition of the annual funding process in 2010, student organizations file funding requests for trips and events that fall beyond the scope of thier organizational budget and provide substantial value for the student body. Appropriations takes into consideration those requests on a weekly basis when school is in session, ensuring that the request hews to state and University policies and guidelines as well as good fiscal sense. Recommendations made by Appropriations are seldom in favor of full funding and are subject to amendment by higher authorities; nonetheless, the student organization is encouraged to maintain communication throughout the entire process to ensure the best mutually acceptable outcome possible.
