The ASUO Student Senate approved $1,883 in surplus requests for several groups Wednesday night, including funds for the Black American Law Student Association and the Collegiate Music Educators
National Conference.
The Senate unanimously granted $950 to BALSA for group members to attend a regional conference in Seattle from Feb. 17-20.
Senators voted 7-5-1 to approve $833 for CMENC for the group’s six-member executive board to attend a regional conference, despite questions from some senators about whether it was appropriate to send only group officials elected last year.
The Student Association for Women in Architecture, a new student group, received $100 for its first major event.
The Senate currently has $36,456 in surplus funds.
Also at the meeting, the Senate unanimously approved the ASUO Executive’s appointment of political science major Barett Volkmann to Senate Seat 14, which was formerly held by Rodrigo Moreno-Villamar.
