SAC approves largest annual budget in years
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers the Student Activities Committee’s 2006–07 budget and expected funding requests.
- The News-Letter reported that the SAC approved a budget increasing annual group funding while cutting immediate-need reserves from the usual $100,000 to $58,000.
- The paper reported that the SAC expected unused funds to roll over and money to return through audits; coordinator James Almond estimated rollover funding could reach $42,000.
- The article adds that Almond said it was unusual for annually funded groups to seek more money, while Barnstormers manager Joseph Micali said his group probably would not request more funding.
- The reporter writes that College Democrats treasurer Cassius Sims expected to seek more funding, while Sirens treasurer Casey Kimbell said her group would need more travel funding.
- According to the article, student groups questioned whether the Office of Student Life provided enough money; Dean Susan Boswell said funding had met needs, and Almond said closer paperwork checks had produced an accurate report of student need.
