Roll Call Roll was taken by Vice President Kamil Redmond Presidents Remarks Tonight, Sterling and I will present the budget for this year. This is the perfect time to start talking about one of the most pressing needs of the student body and the Undergraduate Council.
Student Groups are vastly underfunded.
If you add all the grants opportunities that are out there for student groups, you come up with a number that is far less than most comparable Ivy League schools. Two years ago Beth Stewart and Sam Cohen successfully lobbied to get the administration to kick in some money into the funding process. And because the treasurer has done such a good job last term, our rollover, on which the Council has depended for years, is running out. Sterling got grants out at a higher rate than ever, so we have less money to work with this year than ever. Now, of course there is another chunk of money that is important and that is the committee fund.
