OSAC guideline changes approved

The Undergraduate Student Association Council finally approved the rest of the OSAC guideline changes on Tuesday evening.

One section of the OSAC guidelines was thoroughly discussed at the council table.

A revision in Section IV.R. said that OSAC has the right to audit any apparent false or misleading information provided during the funding application process. In addition, the revised guideline also said the false information provided in the application may result in the revocation of the right for a student group to apply or obtain an office for one to two years.

President Gabe Rose said this addition to the guidelines is good.

"If someone was pretty misleading in one area, it should be in the committee’s discretion to look into it," Rose said.

Financial Supports Commissioner Clinton Jang said he was hesitant about this particular change to guidelines.

"We do not want to have something leak and not have it true," Jang said.

Cultural Affairs Commissioner Bernice Shaw said she disagreed with the one to two year punishment.

"I do not understand why we have to punish so harshly," Shaw said.

Eventually the council voted and approved that section with a 9″“1″“1 vote.

The rest of the discussions regarding guideline changes went smoothly and quickly.
