Motion to add money to Brown Sugar failed

The South Asian Student Alliance senator requested on behalf of Brown Sugar to add $100 to the group's recommended amount of $0, midway through the add round.

Sighs and growns emanated from the back row of senate, signaling student group leaders' discontent at the debate that will ensue. Brown Sugar requested $460, but were recommended $0 by the Executive Committee.

SASA senator Sheena Agarwal, a Weinberg sophomore, defended Brown Sugar, saying "(the Executive Commitee's recommendation) was unfair" because of a "miscommunication" between the group's leader and the Executive Committee.

Executive Vice President Matt Bogusz disagreed with the representative's reasoning.

"Brown Sugar did not meet with their group executive," said Executive Vice President Matt Bogusz. This, he said, violated the committee's guidelines, which required Brown Sugar's leaders to meet with their group executive.

The motion to add more money to Brown Sugar was shut down by ASG. This motion was the first and only one during the extremely short funding cycle, which means the student groups were by in large content with the Executive Committee's recommendations.
