Dearest students and members of the community,

Recently, you may have been made aware of frustrations among certain student groups due to lack of funding for activities or events. Because of the unprecedented number of student groups on campus making requests for a piece of the Student Activities Fee (SAF), FiCom and CoCA have had to limit funding for each request midway through the semester, leaving some student groups to fundraise hundreds of dollars to make their requests a reality. In addition, events have been cancelled due to insufficient funding. Recently, FiCom has been discussing the possibility of raising the SAF to increase the amount of money we have to distribute each semester. This would mean an additional increase in your tuition, but also raises the possibility for more events and a wider range of activities on campus.

FiCom wants to know how you feel about this, and so we are hosting an open forum to discuss these issues and listen to your opinions. It will be held on Monday, March 29 at 7:00 in FPH 102. Please stop by and tell us what you think!

Love, FiCom
