Summer Budget 2013

Hello,

For those of you whose club/organization plan on being active during the summer, the summer budget is now available.  Click this link for the budget application: Budget Application. The deadline for submission is 5:00 pm on Monday, May 20th.  No late submissions will be considered.  Submit the budget by email to bmcilvain@stonybrookusg.org.

To be eligible for a summer budget, your club/organization must:

- Currently have line-budget status as of May 2013;

- Plan on being active both Summer Sessions;

- Be Registered with the Office of Student Activities for the 2013-2014 Academic Year;

- Have at least 2 e-board members registered for a Summer Session (Vouchers will still require signatures from all four e-board members, so ensure that all your e-board members are available during the summer before deciding that you need a budget.).

When making your budget, take into account that the budget must be approved by the summer senate. The summer senate cannot meet until Summer Session I starts, so please do not plan anything for the month of May.  Due to limited funds during the summer, there will be limitations on what will be funded during the summer as follows:

- No Funds for General Body Meetings;

- No Apparel;

- No Gifts, Prizes, or Awards;

- Only One Paid Coach for those Clubs/Organizations that Require Coaching;

- Any Events Planned using Summer Funds must take place during One of the Two Summer Sessions;

- Purchases Made using Summer Funds must be for the Summer and cannot carry over to the Fall Semester.

These limitations are in addition to those found in the Financial Bylaws and other relevant USG bylaws.

Contact me if you have any questions or concerns.  Once again, email the budget to me by 5:00 pm on Wednesday, May 20th.

Constitutional Amendments

Over the past two months, a Committee of the Undergraduate Student Government has worked for hundreds of hours to carefully revise the Constitution of the Undergraduate Student Government in order for it to best reflect the present ideology and practices of the organization. As according to the Constitution, a ballot must be held, open to the Undergraduate Student Body, to vote to accept or deny the amendments. There are twenty-five yes/no options on this ballot, which culminate hundreds of individual amendments.

We encourage you to ask any questions that you may have about the amendments that are being voted on! Members of this Committee will be hosts of this event page, so feel free to contact these people directly, or just post below.

Two documents are attached to this post:

(1) A clean copy of the Constitution of the Undergraduate Student Government that will take effect if all of the options on this ballot pass.

(2) A numbered list of all of the amendments that will be made to the Constitution of the Undergraduate Student Government that will take effect if all of the options on this ballot pass.

The following is a link to the current Constitution of the Undergraduate Student Government:

It is important to us that you take the time to understand the amendments that we wish to make, so if you have the time please take a look.

Voting begins Monday 4/29 at noon and will run until Friday 5/3.
