Trough budgets, bills
and allocations, the Student
Government Association (SGA)
spent over 5 million dollars last
year. Unexpectedly, though, there
is still an over $800,000 surplus
from last year. SGA spending is
vital to campus community and
growth, but few outside of SGA
fully understand the process.
All of SGAs funds come from
the student activity fee, $123 per
student, which totals to over $5
million each year. Te Board of
Regents sets the fee, though SGA
can make recommendations for an
increase if they feel it is required.
SGA allots the money to the
organizations on campus in three
tiers. Te two Tier I organizations
are the CRC and the Student
Center, which use around $3.2
million of the total budget.
All of the student wages at the
CRC and Student Center are paid
by us said Trevor Lindsay, Vice
President of Finance for SGA.
We recommend the minimum
wage for the student jobs. Tere
are three tiers to that as well. Te
organizations can pay them more
than that, but not less than that.
Organizations like the
Student Center Programs
Council, DramaTech and
Student Publications are Tier II
organizations. Organizations that
have a large impact on the rest of
campus are organized here.
All other organizations are
Tier III. Tis includes student-run
athletic organizations, cultural
organizations and most other
clubs on campus.
