Knowledge of the ASG constitution, or at least a desire to learn more about it, is required for this committee. Committee on Student Organization Funding - The purpose of the committee is to allocate monies to various student organizations approved by Senate for funding in order to promote activities that meet the social, cultural, physical, spiritual, intellectual, and emotional needs of the students involved. The committee, chaired by the Vice President of Management or designee, is charged with the responsibility to hold hearings in which student organizations can present their case for funding. After holding a series of these hearings, the committee shall convene and determine the specific monetary allocation that each group will receive. Senate shall then debate and approve the allocation.
Some select committees take on the attributes of permanent committees.
Senate forms select committees for a number of reasons. First, they accommodate the concerns of individual members of the body. Second, the can be a point of access for various groups on campus to more closely influence the drafting of certain proposals. Third, select committees supplement the standing committees by overseeing and investigating issues that the permanent panels lack time or prefer to ignore. These are by far the largest of the Senate committees.
