In yesterday's story, "University helps fund Christian association," the Kansan reported that College Community was the first Christian organization to receive funding from the Student Senate. It was not. It is the first Christian organization to receive funding this year. In the past three years, both the Student Advisory Board of the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center and Inspirational Gospel Voices received Senate funding.
Other religious and belief organizations to receive funding include the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics, and KU Hillel.
In the coming weeks, Senate will see bills requesting funding for KU's Muslim Women, St. John the Baptist Catholic Apostolic Church International and Hillel again.
