It's no surprise that according to a recent article, campus clubs feel intimidated having to constantly go in front of SAC for funding in a process that has broken and gone without substantial reform for years.
As the article indicates, I will be working with fellow members of GUSA to create an online and anonymous survey to determine some sort of consensus among clubs ann students about the direction they would like to see SAC go.
This from the Georgetown Voice (photo credit also):
" In the midst of controversial discussions between the Georgetown University Student Association and the Student Activities Commission over the SAC chair selection process student clubs, which receive their funding from SAC, have so far found themselves left out of the decision-making process.
...
One current treasurer, who asked to remain anonymous when discussing SAC due to his continued need to receive funding from the commission, said the SAC commissioners’ emotional dispositions often bothered him.
“They’re very touchy, very quick to take personal offense and quick to accuse people of being disingenuous, liars and frauds, although they’ll never come out and say it directly,” the treasurer said. “And once they decide they don’t like you or don’t like your group, your treatment changes."
...
GUSA is planning on hosting a club summit on SAC reform in January, where Senator Nick Troiano (COL `11) said he will distribute confidential surveys to groups so he can gather opinions and clubs will not have to worry about jeopardizing their funding. "
