Flicker Film Festival derecognition appeal failed

ASG voted against an appeal by Flicker Film group to overturn Student Activities Finance Board's decision to derecognize the group.

The Flicker Film student group has been derecognized by the SAFB and is appealing the decision tonight. SAFB's allocation of $8,700 to Flicker hinged on ASG's vote tonight.

"We have nothing against the student group, it's definitely of merit on campus," outgoing FVP Aneesa Arshad said. "But they failed this year and last year in fulfilling their A-Status responsibilities."

The group's president, Muindi Muindi, said he failed to turn in their application, resulting in their account with SAFB to be frozen.

"It's my fault," he said.

Habitat for Humanity and Students Blood Services are examples of other student groups which were de-recognized by ASG over the last two years.
