2005-06 ASUC Budget Passed
Budgeting this year was resolved by 2:20 AM Thursday morning, a record for recent memory, despite the delays from earlier in the evening. Some thoughts: - Insider deals stink, but are necessary for the process to occur. Yeah, it's not about what you do but who you know, and it hurts some groups, but that's how democracy works when divying up $1.5 million. Billy Wang cried about this a little bit in the Daily Cal, but the reality of the matter is that Billy got screwed over because he burned down all his bridges. There's something to be said about being nice sometimes. - Publications received almost 3.5% of the total budget - the highest they've gotten in five years. Many publications even had increases from last year (and no, none of them are named "The Heuristic Squelch"). This sector of the ASUC is still underfunded, but at least they aren't in the dire condition PUBS were in at the beginning of the budgeting process. - It is ridiculous that government offices received increased budgets in a year where the amount of dispensary funds decreased 12%. If the ASUC is going to "trim the fat", it should start at home, not with student groups. The Office of the President got a ridiculous increase, several offices stayed at similar levels, and no office was cut. Why make student groups suffer?Email This Post! |
