SAC amends funding guidelines
Posted by: John Flanagan in News, Vox Populi, tags: Programming Arc, SAC
Last night, the Student Activities Commission approved changes to its funding guidelines that will allow for groups to petition the commission for amendments to its programming arc throughout the semester.
Under the old rules, clubs were bound by the outlines of events that they submitted to SAC before the beginning of each semester. Even events that required no club funds were disallowed if they had not been previously outlined in the programming arc. This rule prompted widespread criticism, including two open letters from SAC groups.
The new funding guidelines (included below) allow groups to submit programming arc modifications during the third meeting of each month. Groups will then be required to outline and justify their programming for the remainder of the semester.

What’s going to happen:
Groups will keep overprogramming.
Everyone’s budget will get cut.
Clubs will cancel events.
The IRC still won’t be able to get money for ad hoc events.
SAC will roll back the money to clubs like it did this year.
Everyone will end up having $700 study breaks to spend the money they got in early December.
How, exactly, did this address any concerns brought up at the townhall? No seriously, I want someone to explain this to me.
Congrats on using one of the most famous political cartoons of the gilded age. Other than that, dgaf real hard.
Cool story, bro.
