SABC plans funding for eligible student organizations
The Student Activities Budget Committee (SABC) will be meeting soon to discuss the 2003-2004 funding requests by eligible student organizations. To receive funding for the next year, groups must meet the following specific eligibility requirements and follow the budget request process as stated below from the approved “Student Activities Budget Committee Policies and Procedures.”
Organization Eligibility Requirements
A. The group must be officially recognized and have a faculty or staff adviser. The organization must exist purely to serve or represent the student body as a whole. Programs and participation in the organization must be open to all students. The organization must not have any racial, religious, or ethnic ties which might discourage otherwise interested students from joining it and must not discriminate on the basis of race, sex or national origin.
B. The organization may require certain abilities or talents of its participants. However, the right to apply for membership in such an organization must be available to all interested students. Moreover, the organization must present a program which satisfies the following three requirements.
1. The program must be of general benefit to the student body and participation in the program must be open to all interested students.
2. The program must be one which the sponsoring organization is clearly better able to present than any other campus organization already being funded under criteria A.
3. The program must have sufficient value to warrant its funding when compared to other criteria spelled out above.
Approved student organizations that meet the eligibility requirements may pick up information concerning the process and requirements for a budget hearing in the Student Activities Office. The information may also be found in the Student Handbook Online at
http://www.gcsu.edu/student_affairs/Student_Handbook/adv_groups/adv_groups.html#sabc. For full consideration eight copies of the request for funding must be submitted to the SABC by Feb. 28, 2003, c/o the Associate Vice President for Student Affairs, Room 128, Lanier Hall, CBX 61; or the Director of Student Activities in MSU. Approved student organizations meeting eligibility requirements are not necessarily guaranteed funding by the SABC, and organizations relating their request to the new mission of the university will be given primary consideration
