The following list is the allocations for 2009-2010. All student organizations must go through the allocations process in order to get funds from the student activity fee.
One part of this process, which was changed last year, was that the allocations committee did not meet with the organizations. Former Student Senate Treasurer Joe Benyish said, “More organizations apply each year as they change from temporary to permanent status.”
Last year, there was about $1.8 million to distribute between all of the organizations. However, the largest fixed amount (around 37%) is taken for Intercollegiate Athletics, which includes sports teams such as Football, Soccer, Basketball and others. This money helps to pay for many aspects of Athletics, such as equipment and travel costs.
The second largest amount ($243,997.34) went to University Activities Board (UAB), which funds concerts, comedians, quad events and more. The funding for UAB also fully funds the Ville After Dark program, and covers things like movies, midnight breakfast and other late night activities.

Student Memorial Center Operations gets the third largest amount ($164,105.85), which covers for some of the services in SMC, such as some fitness center costs and technical operations. Benyish explained that this amount is higher than previous years because organizations will be paying less for technical operations expenses.
We have included as many organizations that we could fit in this week’s publication. To see the full list, please see the chart below.
