ALLOCATION OF STUDENT ACTIVITIES FEE

The following resolution was adopted:

• RESOLVED by The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that the Student Activities Committee shall continue to be charged with the authority and responsibility, under the President, for supervision of the Student Activities Fund which is made up of student activities fees. With respect to allocations from the Fund, unless otherwise directed by the President the procedures shall be as follows: (1) the Committee shall review budgets submitted by The Cavalier Daily and approve allocations thereto; (2) the budgets of all other organizations will be reviewed by Student Council which will allocate funds from student activities fees to the organizations; provided, however, the Council does not approve budgets for purposes in opposition to stated University policies (e.g., religious or discriminatory organizations), or for politically oriented organizations, or for entertainment. The ceiling on the aggregate amount allocated to all such organizations will be the then current total student activities fees less the amount approved by the Student Activities Committee for The Cavalier Daily. Each organization whose budget is reviewed by the Student Council will have a right of appeal to the Student Activities Committee. If no appeal is taken, a Student Council officer will draw a check on the Student Activities Fund for the amount specified by Council payable to the organization receiving the allocation. The Student Activities Committee shall examine on its own motion any budgets that may be approved by the Student Council for organizations deemed by the Committee to be within the exceptions noted above.
• RESOLVED FURTHER that the Board hereby reserves to the President the unrestricted right to change either prospectively or retroactively the procedures for making allocations from the Student Activities Fund as he may from time to time deem appropriate.
