The Student Appropriations and Finance Committee announced its Spring Quarter funding recommendations to all A-Status groups on Wednesday. The allotted money will fund a variety of events, from Dillo Day to Take Back the Night, that are organized across campus by these large student groups. Student groups will have a chance to appeal these recommendations and secure allocations during the next ASG Senate meeting on May 13.
Some large increases in funding from last year resulted from the success of certain events. For example, College Democrats were recommended for over $6,000 in extra funding due in part to the success of their Winter Quarter speaker event this year, featuring reporter Helen Thomas.
On the other hand, some groups were recommended less money due to the low popularity of some of their events. For example, the SAFC report stated it recommended a decrease in funding for the College Feminist Fall Quarter speaker “due to a decrease in attendance and lack of appropriate tiers.”
Other groups received less than they asked for, but were recommended to appeal for more funding during Fall Supplemental Funding. This has usually been done for groups whose events have yet to happen this school year.
Check out the graphic below to find out how much money each group requested, what SAFC recommended, and how that compares to last year’s allocations. You can sort by groups’ name, change in funding and total recommended funding.
Very, very cool graphic. You’re a beast Tom.

How does the SAFC make their recommendations? A&O had a full year of sold out shows and they get a 10% decrease… that doesn’t make sense to me.

A&O got an increase for both of their shows for honorarium. Read the daily article.
Graphs are stupid.
