| Comments: | By: |
| We should let the groups know beforehand, not after they submitted their application for Trending Topics. | Jonah Klein-Barton |
|
Should let the Treasury representatives know about the Trending Topics procedure. |
Max Thompson |
| Shouldn’t look at the percentage, look at the opportunity cost. | Rosie Rust
|
| Problems about “arbitrary amount”. | Sydney Robinson |
|
~$700 per person is a lot of money, be critical about it. |
Keaton Schifer |
|
We’ve given Mosaic Whispers large amounts this semester. They didn’t put any effort in fundraising and wanted $11,000. Groups shouldn’t be entitled. |
Jackie Oestreicher |
|
Look at the money objectively. |
Travis Parr |
| School seemed invested in it. Time constraint was a big factor, too. | Max Thompson |
| KaPow asked for fundraisers/other sources of funding. It was a nice gesture that led to funding. | Jackie Oestreicher |
