SJ to hear MCSC appeal

The Student Judiciary confirmed they would hear the Multicultural Student Coalition's complaints against a student government committee Thursday.

MCSC filed the complaint against the Student Services Finance Committee early this week after SSFC capped their funding at $250,000. MCSC had hoped for a $1.27 million budget, but submitted required forms past deadline.

MCSC's appeal contains 14 specific complaints against SSFC, including claims the committee did not inform MCSC of the punishment for turning in the waiver late and failed to be ""reasonably helpful"" once MCSC made it clear they were going to apply for more than $250,000 in funding.

SSFC Chair Sarah Neibart said not all of the 14 arguments listed in MCSC's appeal pertained to SSFC rejecting their waiver.

""I think that they decided because of this specific instance to file complaints with a lot of other things that had nothing to do with the waiver issue,"" Neibart said. ""I think they're using this as an opportunity to voice their concerns on other issues.""

But Neibart said many of the complaints listed in MCSC's appeal did not affect MCSC any more than other student groups.

""It's not like MCSC was put at a disadvantage with these things,"" Neibart said. ""I think all these things had the same effect on any other group.""

MCSC was not available for comment.
