SSFC Chair Ellie Bruecker will defend the committee’s decision to deny funding to CFACT at an upcoming hearing.

Student organization to appeal SSFC decision on eligibility

Collegians for a Constructive Tomorrow will appeal the decision student government officials made Oct. 8 to deny the group funding eligibility.

According to Student Services Finance Committee Chair Ellie Bruecker, CFACT is alleging SSFC violated viewpoint neutrality when it assessed the group for funding eligibility and its services are identical to those of other organizations which received eligibility.

SSFC denied CFACT funding eligibility because members of the committee saw no clear and identifiable direct service in the group’s function, according to Bruecker.

CFACT will appeal the eligibility decision to the Student Judiciary in a hearing that will likely take place in the next few weeks, Bruecker said.

SSFC also passed two student organizations’ budgets Thursday.

The committee passes budgets based on the unique and tailorable educational services a group makes available to all students.

Vets for Vets proposed a $33,584 budget, including money for updated facilities and additional outreach programs, which the committee passed.

Additionally, SSFC approved the budget the Campus Women’s Center proposed, which includes funds for a well-known speaker. SSFC approved a $90,462.29 amended budget for the group.

“Both of [the budgets] came out looking really good,” Bruecker said. “It’s the right amount that they need.”

The committee also heard a budget proposal from the Student Leadership Program, a student organization that funds events such as the All-Campus Leadership Conference, which is open to all students.

SSFC will vote on SLP’s budget at its meeting Monday, as well as hear budget proposals from student groups F.H. King and Sex Out Loud.
