The Government of the Student Body Finance Committee decided to fund several groups after 13 of them were sent back to renegotiate funding proposals.

At the GSB meeting Wednesday, 24 of 89 clubs and organizations were pulled out of the regular allocations senate bill to be individually debated.

Jason Carroll, vice chairman of the Finance Committee, said instructions were given by the senate on how to handle the groups coming back through the committee. The Finance Committee upheld the instructions of the senate at a meeting Monday.

Leaders INspiring Connections was sent back with no instructions, however. Carroll said this was probably because ISU President Gregory Geoffroy had made his decision to continue Veishea only a few hours before the GSB meeting took place.

“Essentially, the senate didn’t know what was going on with LINC yet,” he said.

Carroll said LINC was sent back to the Finance Committee because its future is in question.

The Finance Committee decided to send the LINC proposal back to senate with the committee’s original funding recommendations. This happened because nothing new was known about the future of LINC.

Members of the French Club and the ISU Entrepreneur Club met with the Finance Committee because the original recommendation was to zero fund. The GSB senate voted to send these two groups back through the committee with instructions to fund.

At the Finance Committee meeting, French Club was sent back to senate with instructions to partially fund at $166.50.

Cilia Maria Ruiz-Paz, French Club treasurer, said she was relieved French Club received partial funding but was frustrated with the whole process. She said at times the group felt attacked.

Entrepreneur Club was sent back to senate with instructions to partially fund at $324.84.

The senate had to decide whether different groups were pre-professional. Pre-professional and curriculum groups are classified using eight criteria, including whether groups are associated with another college and whether all members in a group are going into a selected field.

Ruiz-Paz said the club met resistance from the Finance Committee as to its pre-professional status. She said the group had 80 members, only five of which were French majors. She said this proved that they were not pre-professional.

Karen Rimsa, president of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society, said the GSB senate decided not to fund the society because it was considered pre-professional.

“We are nowhere near pre-professional,” she said.
