APPROVAL OF CHANGES TO STUDENT ACTIVITY FEE GUIDELINES

WHEREAS, the Board of Visitors has established Student Activity Fee Guidelines to govern the University of Virginia and its Student Council in distribution of Student Activity Fee funds to and among eligible student organizations; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Visitors last revised the Student Activity Fee Guidelines on August 21 and November 10, 1995; and

WHEREAS, the changes adopted in 1995 were not integrated into the text of the current guidelines but instead continue to appear as separate and sometimes confusing amendments; and

WHEREAS, the Student Council has requested additional helpful clarification with respect to defining political or religious activity ineligible for funding, and also recommends a revision to the Guidelines in order to allow Student Activity Fee funds to support honoraria for speakers at events open to the entire University community;

RESOLVED that the document, shown as Attachment A, entitled "Board of Visitors Student Activity Fee Statement of Purpose and Funding Guidelines," which integrates the 1995 amendments, clarifies religious/political activity ineligible for funding, and permits funding to support speaker honoraria as requested by the Student Council, is approved.
