Senate issues request forms opens biennial budget dialog
Kansan staff writer
Student Senate has sent budget request forms to student organizations, initiating Senate's three-month "Farewell" Carl Dannon, student body treasurer.
Every two years, Student Senate conducts budget hearings to allocate money to student organizations from the unallocated account, formed from $20 student activity fees. The money is used to an organization is determined by its role in the University community and its need for financing.
The budget requests are used by the Senate Finance Committee and the Student Executive Committee to determine the status of the student organizations. Requests are due Dec. 21.
There are two types of organizations, Damon said. Some organizations, such as the Black Student Union and Student Recreational Services, receive financing from Senate every two years. Because the Senate is made up of autonomous, Senate provides financing to subsidize their operations.
In return, these organizations are required to report their activities to Senate. An organization acquires Independent Revenue Code Group status after it has been financed by Senate for at least three years and has proven it is fiscally responsible.
this proven it is necessary responsibility.
Damon said other organizations
received one-year allocations. These organizations are usually smaller operations and are required to笼络 every time they need money.
After all student organizations have been assigned to the appropriate revenue code group category, the finance committee and StudEx conduct budget hearings to determine the amount of money to be allocated.
Stu Comfort, student body assistant treasurer, said the treasurer's office also was working on control audits. Each student organization that has received financing from Senate is audited. The audits tell Senate how much money the organizations have spent in the past, which helps predict how much they will spend in the future.
The budget process ideally will be finished by the end of March, Damon said. Senate has to approve the budget before a Board of Regents-imposed deadline at the end of March.
Damon said that $1.3 million would be allocated during the next fiscal year, a 2.1 percent decrease from last year.
Damon said that organizations usually requested more money than was available.
"This is not an easy process," Damon said. "Once you decide who gets the money, you need to decide where to make the cuts. It's difficult because all the organizations are worthy."
