Initial allocations for student organizations hit record low due to budget cuts - Anna Fattizzo and Erika Filter, GW Hatchet

The Student Association Senate’s finance committee Monday reported a record-low fulfillment of student organization funding requests due to budget cuts. Nathan Nguyen, the director of the Legislative Budget Office and an ad hoc member of the committee, said student organizations requested about $2.2 million for the spring semester, but the SA’s budget consists of about $343,000, only 16.75 percent of the amount requested. He said most student organizations received between two and 10 percent of the amount they requested.
