The UC should put its money where its mouth is. Many groups have intercollegiate expenses that they need to cover themselves. Tally Zingher said that rugby is doing so well as an underfunded, young team speaks to their need for grants. Marco Simons said it was strange to allege that women's rugby has little impact on the rest of the student body. Though this argument is out of character for him, he feels the team's success is important to school spirit.
Equity is a powerful argument, but quite a bit of money is left in the grants fund.
Stephen noted that project-based grants will take up the slack. John Appelbaum asked whether the UC, rather than the administration, should be funding student groups. Stephen said the UC is by definition the disburser of grants. That was the original purpose of the term bill. Vik suggested that the UC revise what assets it could look at, so shady areas don't occur.
