How B-Status funding works

Steps: Executive Committee received funding petitions from student groups, met with each group and made recommendations based on their audits and Executive Committee member's oversight of the group. The committee then recorded their recommendations in their funding packet, which both senators and student group leaders reviewed before this ASG meeting.

Tonight, student group leaders can appeal the Executive Committee's recommendations. If they request for more money, funds must be taken away from another student group. The senate will vote on each add (motion to add more money than the recommended amount) or cut round (motion to decrease the amount of funds awarded to a group). Debate over these funding changes will ensue, which will ultimately be decided by a senate vote. All in all, it's a long process.
