Nominations are being accepted for the positions of USG Treasurer, Secretary, and Interim VP of IT.
The mass funding bill which was tabled last week was reintroduced and passed with minor changes. The total mass funding bill is now $136,750. The budget for the USG fall retreat was increased to $3500 in order to have it off campus. Representatives felt it would be a more productive meeting if held off campus.
Bill B 16-17 was passed unanimously. The bill recognizes 134 student organizations and provides $106,699.15 in funding for the organizations.
Nickolich introduced a resolution to ask Case to reform the current political activities policy. The resolution calls the current policy "prohibitive." The bill was sent back to the Student Life Committee for further review.
