Student Government will debate and review the annual allocations for Student Government accounts and allocations for student organizations at their Wednesday meeting.

Vice Chair of the Finance Committee, Anne Miller, will be introducing the “Annual Allocations Recommendations for Fiscal Year 2020.” Student Government receives student fees to allocate the student organizations and student services on campus to use throughout the school year. This year, after all budgets have been preliminarily approved by the Finance Committee, it is recommended that $1.7 million be allocated to organizations.

Vice Chair Miller will also be introducing the “Account Allocations for Fiscal Year 2020.” A total of around $2.5 million in estimated student activities fee revenues will be allocated among the Student Government accounts, $1.7 million of which will be for the student organization allocations.
