The Student Services Finance Committee approved the budgets of Wisconsin Association of Black Men and Sex Out Loud Monday evening.
WABM’s budget of $31,154 was approved in a vote of 9-0-2, a decrease of $3,508 from their proposed budget.
The difference from their approved budget to their final budget was mainly in the elimination of the salary for their Webmaster, a decrease of $2,145.
Sex Out Loud’s budget of $90,963 was approved in a vote of 7-0-4, a decrease of $5,429.50 from their proposed budget.
Their biggest decrease comes from SSFC’s decision to reduce academic year lines from 33 to 30, for a total decrease in budget of $5,263.50.
In addition to the budget decisions, SSFC conducted the budget hearings for the Muslim Student Association and the Student Judiciary. They requested budgets of $45,240 and $37,340, respectively.
