UA Budget Committee

THe POwer of the Purse

The budget committee determines the budget for all branches of student government and handles contingency requests. It is comprised of the Treasurer and two other members elected at the Transition Meeting between sessions of the Undergraduate Assembly. The Budget committee for the 53rd Session is UA Treasurer Moe Mansour, Eddie Mukalazi, and Pierce Haider.

Determining the yearly budget commands the majority of the budget committee’s time during the spring. They meet with student leaders from all six branches of student government to determine the needs of each branch. They are responsible for distributing student government’s $3.1 million budget to fund activities as diverse as Spring Fling, White Papers on Education, and the core functions of many student groups. A large portion of the budget goes towards a block grant to SAC, which then distributes these funds to student groups based on their own criteria. A large part of the funds also goes towards SPEC to put on the variety of events and activities that Penn students enjoy.
