CONSIDERATION OF APPEAL BY THE JEFFERSON SOCIETY

The Jefferson Society requested the Board to consider an appeal from the decision of the President to uphold the Student Activities Committee's decision to deny funding to the Jefferson Society because the Society was determined to be "primarily social" and also to have restricted membership. Under Section 5.1 of the Manual which states that the Board, at its discretion shall hear such appeals as are provided for in the University regulations, accepted the Jefferson Society's appeal. Statements supporting this appeal prepared by the Jefferson Society were mailed to the members of the Board prior to the meeting.

The Board voted to uphold the action of the President which concurred with the decision of the Student Activities Committee to deny funding to the Jefferson Society. The Board encouraged the Jefferson Society to bring requests for future funding to the Student Council's Appropriation Committee.
