Appropriations

The Students’ Association Appropriations Committee (SAAC) is in charge of managing the finances of the Students’ Association in a way that is both fiscally responsible and in the best interest of the University of Rochester student body. The Students’ Association budget is funded entirely by the Student Activities Fee that each student contributes as part of their tuition. For this reason, it is vitally important to keep vibrant student life as our top priority.

SAAC is made up of the Students’ Association Treasurer, Deputy Treasurer, Student Accountants, and SA Senators. The committee meets weekly to hear requests by student groups for supplemental funding to hold programs or purchase equipment that were not originally in their budgets. Each spring, the committee reviews budget requests and allocates funds to each student group for the upcoming year. Student accountants hold office hours throughout the year to help groups manage their accounts, providing a valuable resource to Business Managers.

On Tuesday night's meeting of the Appropriations Committee, two supplemental funding requests were reviewed.  The first was a request for new equipment for the UR Kendo and Iaido club, which should allow new members to join this Club Sport without needing to own their own equipment.  The committee voted to release $214.85.

The second supplemental funding request came from all four Class Councils.  The committee voted to release $70 which will allow the councils to purchase an external hard drive to back up all of their files, including meeting notes, flyer drafts, program evaluations, and other media.
