UA Passes 2012-2013 Budget!

February 28th, 2012 Be the first to comment

On Sunday, February 26th, the UA passed its $2 million budget for 2012-2013 academic year.

This year, the UA received a 3.9% increase in our budget, which amounted to $2.04 million in total. Some key features of the budget include:
  • major increase of 7.49% in student group funding, which means near $70,000 extra for SAC in response to the increase in SAC recognized groups.
  • The new $39,950 Skimmer Fest budget consolidates collaboration between the Class Boards and SPEC in organizing a campus-wide event centered around athletics and class spirit.
  • 16.7% decrease in the UA’s budget due to cost-savings in administrative expenses and PennApps Labs, allowing money to be channeled directly into programming for students.
  • 35% decrease in the UA’s Contingency Fund given the availability of leftover funds to be rolled over from the past year’s allocation.
  • 26.7% increase in PennCORP scholarship to meet the demand of student financial need.

The entire budget can be viewed here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AmpLuhsh1-lQdEtTaEhUU2x2cDhLMFNXVjRvOVM3U1E&output=html

Thanks to the budget committee for all of their hard work!
