Members of UF’s Agricultural Economics Club will wait another week for approved funding from Student Government.
During Tuesday night’s SG Senate meeting, Allocations Chairman Austin Champoux (Impact, District A) said the allocations committee approved other social clubs requesting funding. However, the Agricultural Economics Club was delayed for funding from the committee, he said, and will be recommended for funding from the Board of College Councils, which funds academic clubs.
“At the end of the day, we made the executive decision to move them to the (Board of College Councils),” Champoux said.
During the meeting, Majority Senate Leader Haley Smith (Impact, District A) asked to approve committee and replacement seats, which included executive nominations from Student Body President Joselin Padron-Rasines, by unanimous consent.
Smith also asked to approve Roshelle Twymon as a member of the Information and Communication committee by unanimous consent, which Senate confirmed. Twelve seats remain open in Senate.
Approved by unanimous consent:
$330 for Gator Chess Club
$623.49 for Innovation Academy Lead
$258 for Quiz Bowl
$100 for Gator Billiards
Maristela Soberano as replacement senator for District D
Hannah Gardiner as replacement senator for Graduate
