On Tuesday the Undergraduate Students Association Council finalized
its three remaining Academic Senate appointments, set aside roughly
$30,000 of funding for Bruin Bash, and prepared for funding
allocations to student groups next week.
Campus Events commissioner Colin Iberti, whose commission put
on Bruin Bash in conjunction with the Cultural Affairs Commission,
brought a proposal to the table to allocate $30,125.75 for expenses
from the event.
According to Iberti’s proposal, the total event cost was just
over $142,000, while the revenue was just under $112,000.
Iberti’s proposal requested that USAC use its surplus fund to cover
the $30,000 deficit. The proposal was passed.
USAC also originally planned to approve allocations of student group
operational funding, which gives various groups money for items such as office supplies that they need to
run their programs.
But with 161 applications from campus organizations this year for
this fund, the allocations are still being determined, and council
opted to postpone its decision until next week.
