DearColumbiaCommunity,

The Activities Board at Columbia (ABC) has received concerns regarding potential bias intheABC.Asan
organization, the Activities Board at Columbia strives to deliver fair decisions regarding both space and
funding for our 165+ student groups. The boardtakesthisjobextremelyseriouslyandspends hundredsof
hours each year discussing and debating topics such as what the most efficient uses of student life fees
are. DuetohowseriouslythetreatmentofstudentgroupsistakenbyABC,theboardtakesconcernsabout
bias in decision making extremely seriously. It is absolutely unacceptable for any student group to be
treated differently for any reason including identity, mission, demographic, or activity. All decisions that
occur regarding groups are made with efficient use of resources and fairness tothebroadercommunityin
mind. The ABC takes care to expose any conflict of interests during discussions and requires individuals
thatareincapableofmakingobjectivedecisionstoabstainfromvoting.

With this, recent allegations that cultural organizations governed by the Activities Board at Columbia
(specifically in the Black,Latinx,andNativeAmerican category)aretreatedunfairlyordifferentlythanother
organizations was and continues to be very serious. Through an email sent by a representative on the
Activities Board at Columbia,concernsofskewed decisionmaking duetobiasagainstculturalorganization
werebroughtforth.

In an effort to further understand andinvestigatethisissue,theABCheldaforumlastWednesday(11/18),


in place of the regularly scheduled board meeting, to discuss these concerns. Many community members
attended and expressed larger structural concerns as well as possiblesolutions.TheABClistenedintently
as leaders throughout the community expressed concerns. Many of the points made centered around a
feeling that the Activities Board at Columbia lacks sensitivity and understandingwhendealingwithcultural
organizations. The board has made a point to internalize the issues brought up and active measures are
being taken to ensure that our community never has to feel as though ABC does not fully appreciate the
purposeandmissionoftheirorganization.

In additiontobothcontinuingthe conversationsstartedatthisforumandtheactivestepsmentionedabove,
the Activities Board at Columbia has reviewed data applicable to its current structure2. This investigation
focused on observing bias in decisions made by the ABC. Funding decisions were used as a proxy for
decisionsasawhole3.
The main sources used for the analysis were allocation decision data from the past three years and
cosponsorship data from the past two. Cosponsorship data from last year was focused on sinceonlytwo

Based on this information, there appears to be little evidence of any bias with regards to cultural
organizations in termsofdecisions reached andpassedbytheActivitiesBoardatColumbia.Discrepancies
in funding are to be expected, as some groups are more established than others or happen to hold more
programming simply due to how their organization hasevolvedovertime.However,thedistributionoftotal
allocation numbers, cosponsorships decisions, and the frequency/magnitude of allocation increases and
decreases all fail to provide substantial evidence for claims ofbiasdecisionmakingbytheActivitiesBoard
atColumbia.

The initial correspondence which prompted this investigationincludedexamplesmeanttoimplybiaswithin


the ABC boardroom. Further analysis showed that these examples were misrepresented or taken out of
context. ABC takes concerns of bias very seriously, and after further investigation and conversations with
bothcommunitymembersandboardmembers,theaforementionedclaimsappeartohavelittlevalidity.

Concurrently, this concernhasbroughtaboutanotherinvestigationintothevoice thatculturalorganizations


have ontheboard.Throughmanyconversationswithpastrepresentativesaswellascommunitymembers,
there appears to beinadequaterepresentationofculturalorganizationsontheActivitiesBoardatColumbia
specifically in the Black, Latinx, and Native American category. Multiple individuals have beenspokento
and it appears that the organization of the board room has made it difficult to bring up concerns. As
mentioned above, it is unacceptable even in the face of equality in decisions to have inequality in the
volumeofyourorganizationsvoiceforanyreason.

The ABC is working actively,asmentionedabove,tocombatthisissueandensurethattheboardroomisa

Practice on campus, go off, they get 23K, rep proposes to cut allocation by 4K (24%
decrease), they requested it kept constant, she has talked to each of these groups,
higher registration cost per head (can't change), hotels + cars when they go, say they
need to be in the same place to prepare, they are resistent to being more efficient with
it - the only way to change spending habits is to make huge cuts. The most money per
person as any group per person, they have two traveling teams of 8-10 people, they also
have LSAT events. Some of the problems -how mock trial works - they can't stay with
people on campus (because not at a campus - most conferences are held at
courthouses) - it isn't offered to live on campus, wouldn't stay in hotel deal (find cheaper
hotel far away), only fly away to one tournament (only do if they ahve the money) usually in california. pay for just the flight back, they could be more efficient - between
4-6 people in a room, they will go to courthouse at 6:30 am, then stay away for rounds,
coaches (corporate lawyers, public defenders), mock trial has not done as well this year
(other teams live in the same house as mock trial).It is impossible for them to stay at
nearest college because hosted at a college - at debate that's how it works, not
necessarily institutionalized - 4-6 per hotel room seems a little luxurious if you consider
how many people. you frequently have to prep the night before. as student leaders - is it
worth it? the argument boils down to us making a value judgement - money that could
be going to somewhere else because they need this money to go to what they do. it's
less about specific groups - more about a community in general - a community with
groups like mock trials. two principles that are at odds. learned to appreciate smaller
groups - put in so much of their time, their is also a difference in activity - it's not as if an
exact dollar amount is putting time in - it's the nature of activity. how much are
members paying in to be part of the team. $4500 including that one flight. are they
trying to fundraise? tournament - get twenty teams to come - because of 50/50 travel,
we would need revenue to balance out allocation. can't get corporate sponsorships. less
tournaments? could they go - it's hard to determine a way to generate more revenue.
they should be put under pressure to do it - they need to build reputation on the circuits
- specific. combination of the two - not qualifying for first semester (invitational), the
way you get teams to go to your own tournaments is to go to theirs - wouldn't see
california teams otherwise (case setup), circuit limits how many tournament can hold.
next year talk about the cosponsorships and grants, (need to tell them to request more).
-$2000 This $4500 is cutting, rationale - something needs to force them to save money.
Even if something is the right thing to do - we need to use same precedent/principle.
Assume that it would cripple them, this would still be the right thing to do.
A:0 O: 3 Y: 9
Started with $250 - cut for $125. They have done a ton of programming, and arguably
there are new events. But they get so much linking from their department which also
determines what kind of events that they hold. Publicity is very important for events,
internal concerns, voting week, when they came in for cosponsorships - david is
graduating. after that meeting, they haven't done much. board is quite strong
A: 1 O: 1 Y: 10
As a board, they haven't really taken the initiative. They're a great group, but the only
events they hold are lessons - they came for sponsorship so they could pay. ODS should
be paying for it under the fact that deaf initiatives, should pursue as permanent funding,
wanted to hold more info sessions. They did apply to cosponsorships and we didn't give
it to them, but they are doing well (growing membership). There are many things they
could do but they aren't doing. This would be for extra food. They want to do non lesson
event
A: 1 UNANIMOUS
Confused, they used to spend a lot of money on tshirts for world cup event - can't spend
it on tshirts, soccer screenings, lerner during the day, soccer in europe during the day,
no actual allocation packet, they'll doing like nothing, starting as a joke and now its semi
real. Cut their desired current allocation by $500 for the tshirts and their world cup
event and also for given more time this year - they may have been able to use the
money more efficiently, give them more breathing room, fluctuate in that programming
+ apply to cosponsorships
A: 1 UNANIMOUS
Recommend $1100 - their events are pretty well attended: research fair - invite labs in
neuroscience and psychology, freshmen actually get positions from it, the event is
growing a lot - they do a lot more publicity than other comporable groups, so there is a
question of efficiency of funds. asked for a lot more - brain week (not super great tabling + giveaways), all that came from zuckerman institute, want them to have more
events for neuroscience. Can work with them for funding. Need more money for
research fair - there are many groups that do great events but we need to stick to our
principles. haven't proved that they'll use efficiently.
O: 3 A: 0 Y:9
Have $710, want $970. Applied for/holding more events, panels and judgeships and the
such. They are doing what a club that supports an academic subject should be doing.
Only ended up spending $80 for menthorship program, so they could finish the year.
A: 0 Y:10 O: 2
Practice on campus, then go off campus. large group, conflict of interest, rep likes quiz
bowl (she is in it), more thrifty when they travel, rep recommend for $500 more - 13%
increase. They also successfully applied for cosponsorships once, got CIF this year for
buzzer sets, cut in 2012-2013 because they weren't doing very well. They've improved -they place better at all of the tournaments they go to - they fundraise so they have
enough to pay for the 50% that ABC can't. They asked for $6500 because they host 3
tournaments on campus, and are going to several outside tournaments but it is hard to
devote that much to tournaments, need to know the amount of money that one
tournament nets. 2 tournaments a semester is fine, 3 tournaments is too much. $500
increase accounts for more tournaments and more people going to tournaments
(question of how many)

They have requested extra funds for 300+ for a recurring, successful event of Latino
Graduation
They hosted solid programming this year and can apply for grants next year if they want
to expand and demonstrate need for extra funding.
They didn't spend all of their amount of allocation - mostly used for food - but they got a
significant amount of money from JCCC for their conference which will also be held the
next year. They are requesting money for a non-recurring banner, so we will taper down
their increase to include conference fees (covered by JCCC) and reflect their lessened
need for allocation this year.
They were trying to host a conference this year and have worked with brazilian speakers
and students and there has been minimal contact. Money is sufficient for next year's
conference.
They program really well, recommending $4000 which accounts for various grants they
have obtained and used well - $200 for live at lerner, $250 in kraft
They applied for JCCC because of extra costs which they didn't account for for one of
their recurring events; even though they also sought out other funds (MGC, etc.), they
were still not able to cover all of their funds. They used their JCCC funds efficiently and
showed that they needed their money.
They do on and off-campus programming and get over $2750 in grant to complete their
programming.
Spent all of their allocation on culture fair with food and festitivities held late in the
spring semester. They spend money responsibly otherwise and meet regularly.
Support for native graduation, increase by amount of cosponsorship for powwow

Basically have been responsive, had a successful year, their showcase is this upcoming
weekend, recommended $100 for increase because they want, but no external funding A: 0 UNANIMOUS
No allocation increase, solid programming,
A: 2 UNANIMOUS
Asking for $1000 increase, recommending a decrease to $3000. Bhangra only went to 1
competition this year, they forgot to put it on their budget, didn't get revenue, didn't
really do any events, they applied to CIF for costumes (didn't get it), ended up spending
money from allocations for costumes, have yet to see. Budgeted $500 for bheights for
next year, forgot it happened. Want to do two competitions, what they usually do
(shouldn't cut them just based on that). $1000 for travel/hotel for extra competitions.
The issues with banghra is that they wait until the last minute to book things which is an
increase in amount of money. Most of the competitions they are applying to - they really
won't host people, competitions every single year.
A: 3 Y: 8 O: 2
Reached out for cosponsorship for releve, gave them half of what they asked for - two
shows, want to make one of their shows two nights, they should cut down on a lot of
their food spending, more of their budget is on food, host a lot of events on sabor +
saboralumni - that budget needs to be revised for next year especially if they wanted to
do things. They didn't have money for costumes but they waste money.
A: 2 Y:8 O: 2
Last week, travel expenses. Travleed to two competitions (will stay consistent next year
as well), don't need money for shirts and the such. Want to apply to more competitions.
Raising more revenue (hosted a Raas showcase in the past), should increase their
allocation. Solid board structure, they applied to us for travel expenses, CIF for
costumes. They work hard to not overspend, applied to us for travel fund, main increase
to plan the event. We can talk to them next year about abc cosponsorships for more
competitions
A: 3 Y: 9 O: 2
Right now $550, asking for $1000, rep recommend $800 -- want to go to NY - Cairo RAQs

Recommend for $1000 increase, for the past years they have been increasing tech costs,
like $10000 more, they've been really proactive about reaching out to other funds - one
their showcases was downtown. Should be accessible to columbia so it's not good.
Should support them in a way - should give them at least $1000 and they are really great
about trying to lower costs. Increased them last for a similar reason, but it's still
persistent. Really really trying to get money, every since two years,
Programming does not indicate any request for funds
Probation, Conflict of Interest, they function, they do a showcase/year, they go to at
least 2 competitions, they applied to a bunch of competitions (the only real cost that
they had), cosponsorships that they had are from last year's showcase. Competitions
that they applied to - only applied to ones that weren't feasible. Literally could not travel
to them, should apply to competitions that you know that you can go to. They got into
one that they're going to in early may, but may not go to that. Decrease to $500. Really
have been having a lot of trouble with their board = probation.
THEY ARE GREAT, takes everyone they need. Applied to funds? Apply to the mama
project, why would they need this? They need the money to expand the length of their
tech costs - they haven't applied to us yet. Totally successful, but haven't applied to
funding.
Unresponsive and allocation normally goes to the purchase of clothing that is kept by
members - this is against spending guidelines. What they use from their allocation is 0,
not punishing them for a last year, but if they want to do something then they'll need to
apply for cosponsorships,

Notes

Increase requested for rising tech and facilities costs, hold more events than any other
group in the category (11) and growing - 10% increase, already have a large allocation,
successfully applied to ABC co-sponsorship for $200 but were denied JCCC cosponsorship, Kraft, OMA and Gatsby (for unknown reasons), paid 3,500 for
cultureSHOCK outside designers and performers when Heritage months were denied for
paying so much money for outside performers - important for drawing in attendees,
used co-sponsorship money to expand a program so they will receive that money in an
increase
Satellite group Taiko ($300 requested just for them), get outstide sponsorships from
corporations, but want more tents to attract vendors as now they only have two (for
Matsuri), not very financially responsible and pour most of their allocation into one
event, student groups can no longer use tents not supplied by Columbia though they
used to own their own, now increased rental costs, Matsuri not charged event - could
raise revenue. IF an event is so expensive, needs to be sustainable
Good programming with a small budget and requesting an increase, co-sponsored one
event with another cultural group, never spend money on publicity, not necessarily a
small budget though - money requested for publicity and co-sponsoring to build the
cultural community
Good programming, but did not apply for any external funding
Rising tech costs, want money for year-round storage space - not a good reason for
allocation increase, you can apply for storage, ABC has storage over the summer, but
they have not gotten an increase in 3 years, have applied to a lot of external funding,
use alot of tech for their events (ex: Nightmarket), however, not that much Chinese
culture in their events (noted by ABC Rep who is a AAA member), ABC money not given
for events that have not yet been held and proven successful, clearly rising tech costs
and they have a demonstrated need for increase from applying for external funding to
support these tech costs, 400 dollars gained through external funding this year for tech
costs
Very financiallly responsive and communicative this year (though previously not), didn't
apply to new funding, same programming as the previous year
Hold pre-professional events, undergrad/grad conference (no money spent or earned)
where they helped, pannels, no money spent this year but trying to hold new events
next year including another conference (JCCC next year) - ABC does not give money for
events that have not been held and proven successful, self-proclaimed do not know how
to use their allocation, 0 dollars with a note that they will apply for co-sponsorships next
year and ABC will be lenient

They are a very strong group with a serious general body that puts in hours for the club they consistently serve 60 - 100 people every week. They don't apply to internal grants,
but they get a lot of outside funding and grants. They are concerned that getting outside
funding makes it look commercial, though they reasonably spend their money, but they
don't have a demonstrated need for more money based on what they currently bring in.
Giving them more money could incentivize them to reach out more to the non-CS
community on campus, but they haven't made enough strides in terms of applying to
Columbia specific funds, and though it is from corporate sponsorships, they currently
Application Development Initiative
have money to host their events.

Good, consistent
Growing really quickly, around 15 people each year, new board started to hold more
events that attract international students, now mostly about turkish culture. More
appealing to people to columbia. Ridiculous allocation request, speaker series, new
board, consistently organizing well, low profile people, continue doing that, applied for
kraft fund, holding service events, increase but not sure if $550-$1000 is too much.
Global Center possibly withdrew funding.
Underutilization of budget, external funding, and excess funds indicate need for
decrease
Packet, contacted advisors, request $250, PROBATION. Rep wants to $0, had originally
motioned for derecognition. $0 and then $250 through cosponsorships, no
communication
Board problems, speaker series, they have been the same, programmed the same,
consistent about programming, not requesting increase
Good, consistent
Non-existent this year, problem in their board, contacted about $80 and $100 event only spent $180 out of money. Recommending 30% cut, still can program well, also have
revenue. Otherwise too harsh, not wasting money. 30% is ideal for just a bad year, not
automatically cut but they didn't explain the unspent allocation, etc. Most of the people
at the event, weren't there, quality of event was less. Non-existent because board
problems, now they are better.
These were on top of things, recommended 1000, applied to turath (kraft film series),
growing events, make revenue too, good users of money. They are really successful, but
they also had people coming though they hadn't applied to stuff. Except for $300,
haven't really applied to grants/co-sponsorships, rising costs because more people
coming. JCCC too and chaplain fund (no $ received for application). Why didn't they get
it? They didn't apply to us. They are successful
Best club (award), applied to a lot of things, turkish club/iranian students club, lots of
different cosponsorships, strong board, on top of things. Improving their board structure
and everything. They requested $1289 for next year. They have a satellite group, some
spending will go to that. $765 right now. Lots of recurring events, repeat the film series.
With this extra money, additional crowds coming in more people coming to each of their
events.
No programming
One of the best clubs, newly recognized last year, allocation of $500, event called
christmas market (very cute), making unofficial events, they also best new group award,
applied to cosponsorships

This club couldn't remember whether they bought a camera. Encouraged to apply for
CIF, applied for and successfully got the grant. With the amount that JCCC granted,
filmmakers go on and off campus to make their own films and showcase them to
columbia community. Right now they can only support a limited number of filmmakers,
only 10 (hence the increase). They work with off campus film companies (script reviews). A:0 Y:13 O:2

Didn't contact rep until this semester because they didn't update contact information,
meeting with vp, wants to revamp CU records, music records aren't a thing anymore. VP
has been the point person if student performers want to perform on campus. Biggest
event - deantini's playlist (deantini's favorite playlist) this is a really
interesting/innovative idea. $5000 requested is too much.Rep only recommend
increasing to $500. Didn't seek external funding, haven't been able to get into contact
with them. They've already planned everything out for an event. Don't want to give
extra money because they haven't been consistent + no external funding. let's readdress
next year
A: 2 UNANIMOUS
NO PACKET
N/A
Consistent programming, weekly sketches, free and open to general public, pretty well
attended. They apply to gatsby grant every year because several hundred dollars for art
supplies, they still need money to buy stuff. They also received abc cosponsorships.
Requested $1830 because they use the money.
Y: UNANIMOUS
Diversified amount of things, strong programming
a: 1 UNANIMOUS
Not a functioning group up until 2 months ago, not good before then, accused past
members of stealing things. However, because of that their advisor hasn't allowed them
to spend any more for the past few years. Did succesfully apply for capital investment
fund - their board this year has been strong, despire not being allowed to spend any
more. Skit videos, used by admissions office to welcome class of 2019. They only have
$2700 right now. No increase, no decrease because they had a bad board and they were
limited in their spending and still have been doing pretty good programming. Actively
sought out capital fund.
A: 0 Y:14 O: 1
Wasteful spending observed, had $500 left of allocation with no rationale, no eaf sent to
ABC for giving $600 to a speaker, they have, one or more times, used a false EAF
number. Cut. No access to budget. $750 + probation
A: 0 Y: 14 O:
Really reaches out, programming is really good, this year they have a lot of events (Suits
+ bill nye), they try to do better things because they want people to go to. costs are
going up - they never reached out about cosponsorships even though rep asked about it.
Relying on cosponsorships from other communities. Requested $6000, screening rights
are more expensive. Do they ever apply to anything outside, student clubs, etc? The
level at which their events are, want to hold them more often (they have had to cut back
on more movies). Didn't like this group because they picked their own movies. As a
group themselves they have been doing well, lots of attendence.
A: 3 Y: 10 O: 2
Whenever rep talks to them in person, they are not willing to apply for cosponsorships
(they just dont' want to), but they put increase. Just keep it the same. Why no decrease?
Decrease to $500 - with the $500, the bulk of their programming is still tech heavy (they
need to do tech regardless), food is secondary. Decrease the amount of food in their
budget they only have $80 of tech. They do other things like the radioshow. List of
groups to watch. (Next $500 on karaoke??)

Defunct
They had a fine year, got an increase last year
Did well at their level of funding, did not request an increase
Used $100 for board bonding from allocation, will need money to co-sponsor group
applying to NGR next cycle - not in allocation packet,
Packet submitted late, in conversations at the beginning of fall semester with advisers
and Glee club
Did not apply for external funding, requested increase to pay someone to film their
concerts, not very communicative and spend less than their allocation, no tech costs for
C555, 521 needed (-100 for filming spent this year unnecessarily), underspending
Cut last year for not submitting an allocation packet, but scaled up their programming
and applied to a lot of external funding (ABC + JCCC) for bigger venues and incresed
programming, revenue from concerts
Solid programming, concerts have been good, fill c555
Used money well but did not apply for outside funding
All of the money spent this year was for events that were not on campus, all for travel.
Cut to $500, last year they spent on stuff on campus, don't want to hurt them too much.
Generate money off campus. They don't do enough campus, no EAFs, etc.
No increase requested
Rep's fave group to work with, asked for an increase, but its going mostly towards travel
that they don't even do it every year. Shouldn't get recurring allocation for travel
Did not apply for outside funding, solid group, 250 budgeted for Senior gifts, receive less
than comparable groups, used all allocation halfway through the year
Recognized two semesters ago, started spending last semester, mostly hold events in
the malcom x lounge, rap and freestyle workshops. granted $400 after being recognized,
majority of it for buying equipment but now done buying equipment (CIF), club banner,
only really spent $100 on programming itself. Request for $500 for next year, want to
give them a decrease, hold more frequent cyphers, lenient for new group

Very solid group, as a new group they have doen a good job finding new programming,
getting new showcase, applied to cosponsorships (JCCC because new event), still have
plans to scale up and recommending an increase to 900. They have been solid about
communicating and they have their new board elected (came and talked to them). Some
kind of increase. Applied to a different things, filled C555 for event and want to have it in
Roone. It is rare for an a capella group to have things in Roone. What is it specifically
going to? Applied for $300 from JCCC but didn't get it, they want to travel a lot. Because
of ticket revenues, they have solid programming.
A: 2 Y:8 O: 2

They applied to a lot of outside funding (though they didn't succeed) and did not end up
getting the rights to their fall show which hindered them. They focus on outreach and
collaboration and are accessible, but have been slightly lax in programming so should
strive to amp it up for the future.
A: 3 O: 0 Y: 9
They use outside funding to enhance their programming and do well - they asked for no
change and are good with their current level of funding.
UNANIMOUS
No contact or packet.
UNANIMOUS
They have been increasing the quality of their programming and interest from the
community (RENT sold out in 10 minutes) and they have had to add an extra show. They
host showcases and other events as well - demonstrated they spend well, apply for
grants and enhance community..
UNANIMOUS
They are the governing board for performing arts groups and have been constantly
adding groups. They host programming well for the performing arts intergroup.
A: 1 UNANIMOUS
They have been stagnant at their allocation for the past 3 years, despite having a bigger
set each year. They have a successful revenue model (Tickets + Alumni Donations +
Grants and have had to move big lead up events (such as preview) to the Diana Event
Oval instead of Havana Central. Clearly they spend well, program well and have been
suffering from lack of funds.

Notes
Last year requested 36K, allocated 4000-8000K only ended up giving them 1620. They
did a good job, despite not as good as last year, still better than others. They went to
Paris/London - that was out of their own pocket. Get money from other places, they
apply for grants and additional funding, other clubs with huge operating budgets as well.
They would put it to a better use than any one else. They are center of entreprenuership
community - so many people. Services a lot of people on campus, on a resource that
doesn't exist elsewhere. Having a big effect. See value in giving groups more money,
gives them incentive to keep some of their programming here and get people more
involved that wouldn't. Their programming would be different if they didn't get as much
ABC funding, less inclusive. The quality of some of their stuff was less, they would have
hosted more events, got things from columbia entreprenuership, not sustained
throughout because they were in need. The allocation increase would definitely go to
more events. Revenue not listed on some of their stuff. What about external funding?
What were they able to do with their external funding? How effective and efficient they
used their money? They have a monopoly in terms of entreprenuership. Generally, they
are the only thing. They are the one primarily serving that community and far-reaching.
3800 - based on their budget. A: 1 O: 1 Y: 13
No increase requested, used money mostly for printing and they get most of their
money in outside sponsorships which also could cover the small ammount they do get
and their current allocaiton could go to another (smaller) group where the money could
be really impactful, do they actually need the money or just use it because they have it?
They use their money responsibly - dialogue needed - could they get it from somewhere
else? could co-sponsor them if necessary, use their ABC money for events on campus
and corporate sponsorships for the conference
Did not request an increase, solid programming
Did not apply for external funding
No increase requested
NO PACKET
Did not apply for outside funding
Predominantly use their money for regional and national conference (they pay using half
of allocation), requesting 4500, they are requesting more because of a conference in
baltimore. This isn't necessarily recurring, etc.
Applied unsuccessfully to one source of external funding, sent 22 members to LA for job
interviewing - no increase

Two big conferences (this year one in Anaheim the cost of which came 1/2 from
allocation), spent less than 3000 dollars and did not go to a conference, suggest more
people are going to want to go next year but we cannot fund that with recurring
allocation
Did not apply for external funding, unexpectedly found 2000 dollars in revenue in their
account and spent it well this year, really strong events and many of them
stagnating
Did not apply for outside funding, increase requested for publicity, but does not seem
necessary or very effective, publicity could come from co-sponsorship
Did not apply for outside funding but good group
increase requested for rising tech and facilities costs, hold more events than any other
group in the category (11) and growing - 10% increase, already have a large allocation,
successfully applied to ABC co-sponsorship for $200 but were denied JCCC cosponsorship, Kraft, OMA and Gatsby (for unknown reasons), paid 3,500 for
cultureSHOCK outside designers and performers when Heritage months were denied for
paying so much money for outside performers - important for drawing in attendees,
used co-sponsorship money to expand a program so they will receive that money in an
increase (AAA description)
New group, had a few good events, going with Rep recommendation
Recently recognized, have not spent money (since it did not go to their account yet), but
programmed anyway
Programmed sustainable events, well-attended, external funding obtained

Thinking of changing vision, they received $500 last year to continue to revamp
Bad packet, should get same amount as now - so they can prove sustainability.
They have a campus niche and and there is a same number of spending. There is a 10%
cut accross the board for printing.
They want courses, more writers, and more printing. Can't buy a banner every year for
events. Thave overlap with some events with pre-law society and mock trial, but their
events are good for revenue. They have fundraisers. Didn't apply for cosponsorships
They received $0 last year, requested $1934 (over 100% increase), their niche is a 1,
their rep communication is a 3 (long monthly updates). Either given them $734 or full
amount, could print at kinkos or they could go to a printer. They haven't applied to
funds for prints. They received a grant for IRAAS - for $1500. How many hits have they
had? Are they reaching people with their stuff? Have they applied to JCCC or F@CU?
They used outside funding. They have access to that for next year. Same eboard confident in their ability. $1500 in outside funding - they have proved. They can spend
$1934 pretty well. Can possibly mellow out again - we have seen groups who have
cycled a lot. We can't solidify a recurring allocation of so much money just because of
one good year given their rocky history and issues with sustainability. Even if they
haven't gotten JCCC, they have gotten cosponsorships and IRAAS. We don't only want
them to apply to JCCC - there are other things. Why apply for more funds you don't
need? They can supplement what we give them. Keep them on probation watch list and
watch for volatility.
NO PACKET
They got JCCC, they do a lot of stuff, give someone to prospective students, want to try
more events. Budget can't include all of these things
Personal money and sponsorships from department (not from us), do we give them an
increase even though? Until the department stops giving them money, they don't need
extra money. They requested $5000 from department but got about half. JCCC for tech
costs? Performance - dancer/musicians. Is that necessary for a publication? More pages
than ADLS, so they need to pay more. Current allocation is 2650. We generally want to
move publications to the digital mindset. Working with some of them and said to move
to digital - in meetings for allocations, said we're going to decrease printing costs for
allocations accross the board. Should we cut it so they have a small number for
institutional memory. Should we cut how many they should print? They also distribute
it. Percentage decrease for all publications. We don't know about readership. Anything
below 9% is fine -- pressure publications to print less. The dollar amount for 1 journal is
10-11. EAch publication has different types of readership. 1K minimum to print - it
varies. MOTION FOR 10% OF PRINTING
NO PACKET
Work with Harvard University Press. Receive grants from $515, should apply for gatsby
Changes to publication spending guideline -10%
They want the same amount and operate in the same niche as other. They have a nice
budget, they were paying out of pocket for stuff.
Requesting same, they used a bad printing company.
GBB recognized. Requested 1986 - have a good niche and communicate well. Got
Gatsby, worried won't get next year. Finals + midterms -- snacks to them. you can most
likely get gatsby, can allocation. Double check this is the ABC + GBB amount
They have okay communication and niche, and they can't get some amount from
outside, only ABC is able to provide . There is a cut for groups.

Recognized last year, all for food, go out to restaurants to review them, you could get
comped by the restaurant. They have $400 pocket change - printing through stash
money. $400 (is their own money, shouldn't count). This is not recurring, so this is from
their freshman year. Can't slash them to $100 if they are spending $500. How many do
they need to print on a yearly basis? We could subsidize printing and transportation.

Current allocation 2131 which was a slight increase, they increased a lot, had a really
good event, applied for 7 external sources of funding - succcessful in getting money from
all of them. With that in place, stronger board than before - because now they have
strong structure for next year as well. They have longevity in the group so this recurring
increase should be good for a while.
A: 2 Y: 12 O: 2
No packet, only spent $100 for tabling (all they spent), one bad board shouldn't hurt a
group forever. This group should be on probation for next year. When we cut them
down, they can build back up. Has this club been active previously too? No
communication from them.
A: 0 Y: 11 O:4
$706 dollars, last year they don't apply to any external funding. They program well
A: 0 O:2 Y: 12
They are small but they have had one major event for the past few years (luau). Last
year for the event, they brought 1 main dish ($500 of allocation) for food for the event,
but because they couldn't afford anything else, they spent out of pocket to buy
ingredient to cook their own stuff. Only 1 place in brooklyn that does actual hawaiin
food, this year they can't cook themselves but they still can only afford that one dish.
They are pivoting and not doing this event. What they are doing instead is lei day - no
food, but they will teach people how to use fresh flowers to make a lei. They are using
another group's space for it. They are going to use the leftover money for costumes,
which they are going to use down the line. They are active throughout the year
performing at other groups cultural shows (have been making contumes by hand).
Planning to buy 3 costumes. Very fiscally conservative. VERY. Next year, they are
scraping luau all together and because they want to do it properly or not at all. Next
year, instead they will be doing smaller events including lei day. The last few years, was
1 event a year, and now they are doing 4-5 smaller events. Next year, they are budgeting
for the luau and lei day and costumes (even though they are also buying some this year).
Shouldn't be getting a recurring allocation for a one time event (550 + 500 infusion one
time for costumes)
A: 1 Y: 9 N: 5
No increase, have been doing well,
A: 1 UNANIMOUS
Wants allocation over $4500 - they asked for ABC cosponsorship for increase tech costs
for the second time in a row, their tech costs have increased by $1000. They need help
from us in funding that - used cosponsorships both years. Got JCCC and PnP, applied to
GBB and Gatsby as well. They applied to every external funding because don't get
enough money from us. Pretty successful in endeavors. Main endeavor (Tamasha) is
stagnant because saturation of awesome. Increasing allocation for such a big allocation
group by a little is useless/gets lost because they need a lot of money for a noticable %
increase. It is problematic to give a group such a big increase, but that's necessary. Now
for two years we've given them co-sponsorships, it is a recurring costs, need to be built
into the recurring funding. Looking to do a whole number of different types of
programming. New programming (penn masala, brought in speakers, brought in political
sphere of south asian culture), expand in that sphere. Can now apply for external
fundings for new events too. Deliberations - for all of these big events that people have,
everyeone will always apply for funding.

Club Zamana

Revenue for Tamasha - $1000?? 700 students, $5/students, a little bit of corporate
sponsorships ($400-$500). They don't have huge revenue, publicity cost is very large - in
the past it's been a huge issue, this year less so because they spent almost all of their
publicity out of revenue. Budget includes allocation and revenue spending - very
important for them in selling out though. Too much of an increasing, more comfortable
with 10% thing though their programming has expanded. They have a lot of little things
that they didn't include in the budget. Fall political conference/spring scale will be the
same. Apply to the funds to increase programming in other ways (only once per year for
JCCC), now it's been two years. This group won't be wasting money. Smaller events?
Night Market, etc. Collaborate with everyone - everyone co-sponsors tamasha so they
get involved with all of the other groups (these aren't new). Increase is NOT for the new
events (fall conference, political conference), but it's so they can hold their old
programming and then use JCCC/extra sponsorships for new events because they use all
of these resources for their old programming - which is causing them to stagnate. Their
irresponsible spending is only publicity, gotten better in the past, it helps and it is from
their revenue. Hype events are included in publicity also part of the Tamasha
programming that week.

Not super communicative, don't spend very well - asked for a huge increase. Now
throwing their huge event, 2 events this year ($700 last semester, $50 in matsuri and
$770 for new event), first event was a great event, dropped off for a while,
programming well for second event. Don't deserve a cut yet, they are keeping their
current proposal, but large ratio of allocation to membership. Groups can be good
without being communicative to ABC rep. Could cut for sub-par allocation packets.
Y: 11 O: 4 N:0
OPS - allocation of 2041, allocation increase to 7900 requested. Very successful group,
they have applied to external funding but not enough. In the future, next year, etc.
would deserve an increase in allocation but the only problem is that they don't apply
enough to external funding. $600 requested for new event, didn't apply to JCCC.
Recommended no increase at all. They do well but don't look for external funding. If
they want to do other huge scale events, then they'll be fine or apply to external
funding. We just really want them to apply for external sources to get more funding and
to know what things are recurring (right now random large scale events that aren't
necessarily recurring). Next year, look for more recurring events/funding before
increasing allocation.
A: 2 Y: 12 O: 2
They have 470, requested 850. Recommends $100 increase because they have done
what they need to do for increase. Threw new event this year, they applied to JCCC, the
event went really well, they want it to be recurring since it was so successful. Only
happened once so increase allocation to $850 is too much, giving them $100 instead of
$300 from JCCC will allow them to budget into their event and give them leeway to
apply for more grants, etc. Can't give them entire $300 - kind of conservative but this
group has had ups and down. This year is the first year it is directly outlined that grants
are helpful for JCCC. Reasonably speaking, we can't fiscally give all of the groups the
entire money they get from all of their grants. One of the ways we market the
cosponsorships to councils - in addition to helping JCCC we can fund them a second time
(to keep trying hard they can still go to the abc cosponsorship while they get up to their
entire increase). We increase their allocation by some amount but still want to make
them have one more check. Still need to look for external funding.

Solid programming that attracts a lot of people (example: cake competition) and are fine
with their current level of spending.
They represent Columbia very well in National competitions and spend a lot of money
on travel (between ABC AND JCCC), and they bring national grandmasters for
presentations in order to widen their audience to the Columbia community - there is a
good mix of things for the public and internal travel - and increase would be used
equally for these two aspects which have demonstrated need due to applying for grants.
Defunct
They spend large sums of money that they fundraise and accumulate from corporations
(40K raised for their annual ball among other initiatives to raise money), and extra
money would be used for a recurring conference that would bring MilVets together
accross the board. They historically are organized well internally, spend well, host good
programming and provide for their community. They have used all of their money and
have exhausted outside funding but are still expanding.
They can beef up their outreach and expansion of their community and will look into
more co-sponsorships. They hosted a conference and got presenters to present, mostly
from their revenue - they got extra free presenters that they had originally budgeted for
paying for and spend the rest out of revenue.
They spend a lot of money on publicity, training (recertification) and calls. For
confidentiality, we only communicate with one person. They are an essential function to
the community but we should examine who grants their funding moving forward.
There is a little bit of struggles in terms of when they get screening rights and how long
they are extended for - so they have a differeing need for allocation every year, but last
year was when they didn't spend all of their allocation because of it. If this continues to
be an issue in the future then we will need to address it.
Had a lot of trouble in beginning of year, didn't have an allocation, applied for JCCC
(supplies) - got $350. They don't need much money, want to have more advertising, did
a lot of study breaks and projected food costs. They'll have events where they do
viewing parties and things.
They buy new games every year during black Friday sales snd host solid programming.
Defunt
They are a new group (with no initial allocation) but have been communicative and want
money for recurring supplies. Because consoles, etc. aren't recurring, they won't be in
allocation, but money will be given for the natural updating necessary for
consoles/games, etc.

Gave no money this year, wants $1000, get $13,500 in corporate cosponsorships. Their
budget says that they need to spend about $14000. Mainly their $13K - $11K is
conference and $2K for annual networking thing. The rest is study breaks, tech
workshops, etc. They want to expand and have more - they're new. Didn't apply for
cosponsorships, mostly spent money on food. Most pre-professional groups are like
that. They can apply to ABC next year for a cosponsorship - if we don't know what

Votes Group

Practice on campus, go off, they get 23K, rep proposes to cut


allocation by 4K (24% decrease), they requested it kept constant,
she has talked to each of these groups, higher registration cost
per head (can't change), hotels + cars when they go, say they
need to be in the same place to prepare, they are resistent to
being more efficient with it - the only way to change spending
habits is to make huge cuts. The most money per person as any
group per person, they have two traveling teams of 8-10 people,
they also have LSAT events. Some of the problems -how mock
trial works - they can't stay with people on campus (because not
at a campus - most conferences are held at courthouses) - it isn't
offered to live on campus, wouldn't stay in hotel deal (find
cheaper hotel far away), only fly away to one tournament (only
do if they ahve the money) - usually in california. pay for just the
flight back, they could be more efficient - between 4-6 people in
a room, they will go to courthouse at 6:30 am, then stay away for
rounds, coaches (corporate lawyers, public defenders), mock trial
has not done as well this year (other teams live in the same
house as mock trial).It is impossible for them to stay at nearest
college because hosted at a college - at debate that's how it
works, not necessarily institutionalized - 4-6 per hotel room
seems a little luxurious if you consider how many people. you
frequently have to prep the night before. as student leaders - is it
worth it? the argument boils down to us making a value
judgement - money that could be going to somewhere else
because they need this money to go to what they do. it's less
about specific groups - more about a community in general - a
community with groups like mock trials. two principles that are
at odds. learned to appreciate smaller groups - put in so much of
their time, their is also a difference in activity - it's not as if an
exact dollar amount is putting time in - it's the nature of activity.
how much are members paying in to be part of the team. $4500
including that one flight. are they trying to fundraise?
tournament - get twenty teams to come - because of 50/50
travel, we would need revenue to balance out allocation. can't
get corporate sponsorships. less tournaments? could they go it's hard to determine a way to generate more revenue. they
should be put under pressure to do it - they need to build
reputation on the circuits - specific. combination of the two - not
qualifying for first semester (invitational), the way you get teams
to go to your own tournaments is to go to theirs - wouldn't see
california teams otherwise (case setup), circuit limits how many
tournament can hold. next year talk about the cosponsorships
and grants, (need to tell them to request more). -$2000 This
$4500 is cutting, rationale - something needs to force them to
save money. Even if something is the right thing to do - we need
to use same precedent/principle. Assume that it would cripple
them, this would still be the right thing to do.
A:0 O:
Started with $250 - cut for $125. They have done a ton of
programming, and arguably there are new events. But they get
so much linking from their department which also determines
what kind of events that they hold. Publicity is very important for
events, internal concerns, voting week, when they came in for
cosponsorships - david is graduating. after that meeting, they
haven't done much. board is quite strong
A: 1 O
As a board, they haven't really taken the initiative. They're a
great group, but the only events they hold are lessons - they
came for sponsorship so they could pay. ODS should be paying
for it under the fact that deaf initiatives, should pursue as
permanent funding, wanted to hold more info sessions. They did
apply to cosponsorships and we didn't give it to them, but they
are doing well (growing membership). There are many things
they could do but they aren't doing. This would be for extra food.
They want to do non lesson event
A: 1 U
Confused, they used to spend a lot of money on tshirts for world
cup event - can't spend it on tshirts, soccer screenings, lerner
during the day, soccer in europe during the day, no actual
allocation packet, they'll doing like nothing, starting as a joke and
now its semi real. Cut their desired current allocation by $500 for
the tshirts and their world cup event and also for given more
time this year - they may have been able to use the money more
efficiently, give them more breathing room, fluctuate in that
programming + apply to cosponsorships

Recommend $1100 - their events are pretty well attended:


research fair - invite labs in neuroscience and psychology,
freshmen actually get positions from it, the event is growing a lot
- they do a lot more publicity than other comporable groups, so
there is a question of efficiency of funds. asked for a lot more brain week (not super great - tabling + giveaways), all that came
from zuckerman institute, want them to have more events for
neuroscience. Can work with them for funding. Need more
money for research fair - there are many groups that do great
events but we need to stick to our principles. haven't proved that
they'll use efficiently.
O: 3 A
Have $710, want $970. Applied for/holding more events, panels
and judgeships and the such. They are doing what a club that
supports an academic subject should be doing. Only ended up
spending $80 for menthorship program, so they could finish the
year.
A: 0 Y:
Practice on campus, then go off campus. large group, conflict of
interest, rep likes quiz bowl (she is in it), more thrifty when they
travel, rep recommend for $500 more - 13% increase. They also
successfully applied for cosponsorships once, got CIF this year for
buzzer sets, cut in 2012-2013 because they weren't doing very
well. They've improved -- they place better at all of the
tournaments they go to - they fundraise so they have enough to
pay for the 50% that ABC can't. They asked for $6500 because
they host 3 tournaments on campus, and are going to several
outside tournaments but it is hard to devote that much to
tournaments, need to know the amount of money that one
tournament nets. 2 tournaments a semester is fine, 3
tournaments is too much. $500 increase accounts for more
tournaments and more people going to tournaments (question
of how many)
A:2 Y:
Practice on campus, go off, second largest allocation (7071),
higher registration cost per head (can't change). Recommend
less flying tournaments, public transit in location, stingy when
going there, staying with people on campus, how selective are
they. They go to worlds but they get it out of revenue. They want
to move to british parliamentary debate. Recommend 0%
change.
A: 0 U
they're a good group, oldest group on campus, they hold debates
and tea parties and host sorgam (paid for out of gatbsy). Ask for
a decrease because all money on food - they can spend more
efficiently. they're a great group, tighening their budget.
A: 1 U
Make so much money from selling notebooks. 0 is fine.
A: 1 U
No packet, they're not requesting for growth
A: 0 Y:
They have requested extra funds for 300+ for a recurring,
successful event of Latino Graduation
A:0 U
They hosted solid programming this year and can apply for
grants next year if they want to expand and demonstrate need
for extra funding.
A: 0 U
They didn't spend all of their amount of allocation - mostly used
for food - but they got a significant amount of money from JCCC
for their conference which will also be held the next year. They
are requesting money for a non-recurring banner, so we will
taper down their increase to include conference fees (covered by
JCCC) and reflect their lessened need for allocation this year.
A: 1 Y:
They were trying to host a conference this year and have worked
with brazilian speakers and students and there has been minimal
contact. Money is sufficient for next year's conference.
A: 0 Y:
They program really well, recommending $4000 which accounts
for various grants they have obtained and used well - $200 for
live at lerner, $250 in kraft
A: 2 U
They applied for JCCC because of extra costs which they didn't
account for for one of their recurring events; even though they
also sought out other funds (MGC, etc.), they were still not able
to cover all of their funds. They used their JCCC funds efficiently
and showed that they needed their money.
A: 1 U
They do on and off-campus programming and get over $2750 in
grant to complete their programming.
A: 2 U
Spent all of their allocation on culture fair with food and
festitivities held late in the spring semester. They spend money
responsibly otherwise and meet regularly.
A: 1 Y:
Support for native graduation, increase by amount of

Basically have been responsive, had a successful year, their


showcase is this upcoming weekend, recommended $100 for
increase because they want, but no external funding
No allocation increase, solid programming,
Asking for $1000 increase, recommending a decrease to $3000.
Bhangra only went to 1 competition this year, they forgot to put
it on their budget, didn't get revenue, didn't really do any events,
they applied to CIF for costumes (didn't get it), ended up
spending money from allocations for costumes, have yet to see.
Budgeted $500 for bheights for next year, forgot it happened.
Want to do two competitions, what they usually do (shouldn't
cut them just based on that). $1000 for travel/hotel for extra
competitions. The issues with banghra is that they wait until the
last minute to book things which is an increase in amount of
money. Most of the competitions they are applying to - they
really won't host people, competitions every single year.
Reached out for cosponsorship for releve, gave them half of
what they asked for - two shows, want to make one of their
shows two nights, they should cut down on a lot of their food
spending, more of their budget is on food, host a lot of events on
sabor + saboralumni - that budget needs to be revised for next
year especially if they wanted to do things. They didn't have
money for costumes but they waste money.
Last week, travel expenses. Travleed to two competitions (will
stay consistent next year as well), don't need money for shirts
and the such. Want to apply to more competitions. Raising more
revenue (hosted a Raas showcase in the past), should increase
their allocation. Solid board structure, they applied to us for
travel expenses, CIF for costumes. They work hard to not
overspend, applied to us for travel fund, main increase to plan
the event. We can talk to them next year about abc
cosponsorships for more competitions
Right now $550, asking for $1000, rep recommend $800 -- want
to go to NY - Cairo RAQs festival. They have to pay $300 money
for the festival, this will allow them to insert themselves in the
greater new york area. $200 increases. They haven't applied to
funds for this specfic festival.
Hip hop group, host a show every year, $525 for next year, asked
for $900, expected budget is $525 - don't anticipate no new
events
Recommend for $1000 increase, for the past years they have
been increasing tech costs, like $10000 more, they've been really
proactive about reaching out to other funds - one their
showcases was downtown. Should be accessible to columbia so
it's not good. Should support them in a way - should give them at
least $1000 and they are really great about trying to lower costs.
Increased them last for a similar reason, but it's still persistent.
Really really trying to get money, every since two years,
Programming does not indicate any request for funds
Probation, Conflict of Interest, they function, they do a
showcase/year, they go to at least 2 competitions, they applied
to a bunch of competitions (the only real cost that they had),
cosponsorships that they had are from last year's showcase.
Competitions that they applied to - only applied to ones that
weren't feasible. Literally could not travel to them, should apply
to competitions that you know that you can go to. They got into
one that they're going to in early may, but may not go to that.
Decrease to $500. Really have been having a lot of trouble with
their board = probation.
THEY ARE GREAT, takes everyone they need. Applied to funds?
Apply to the mama project, why would they need this? They
need the money to expand the length of their tech costs - they
haven't applied to us yet. Totally successful, but haven't applied
to funding.
Unresponsive and allocation normally goes to the purchase of
clothing that is kept by members - this is against spending
guidelines. What they use from their allocation is 0, not
punishing them for a last year, but if they want to do something
then they'll need to apply for cosponsorships,

Increase requested for rising tech and facilities costs, hold more
events than any other group in the category (11) and growing 10% increase, already have a large allocation, successfully
applied to ABC co-sponsorship for $200 but were denied JCCC
co-sponsorship, Kraft, OMA and Gatsby (for unknown reasons),

event, student groups can no longer use tents not supplied by
Columbia though they used to own their own, now increased
rental costs, Matsuri not charged event - could raise revenue. IF
an event is so expensive, needs to be sustainable
Good programming with a small budget and requesting an
increase, co-sponsored one event with another cultural group,
never spend money on publicity, not necessarily a small budget
though - money requested for publicity and co-sponsoring to
build the cultural community
Good programming, but did not apply for any external funding
Rising tech costs, want money for year-round storage space - not
a good reason for allocation increase, you can apply for storage,
ABC has storage over the summer, but they have not gotten an
increase in 3 years, have applied to a lot of external funding, use
alot of tech for their events (ex: Nightmarket), however, not that
much Chinese culture in their events (noted by ABC Rep who is a
AAA member), ABC money not given for events that have not yet
been held and proven successful, clearly rising tech costs and
they have a demonstrated need for increase from applying for
external funding to support these tech costs, 400 dollars gained
through external funding this year for tech costs
Very financiallly responsive and communicative this year (though
previously not), didn't apply to new funding, same programming
as the previous year
Hold pre-professional events, undergrad/grad conference (no
money spent or earned) where they helped, pannels, no money
spent this year but trying to hold new events next year including
another conference (JCCC next year) - ABC does not give money
for events that have not been held and proven successful, selfproclaimed do not know how to use their allocation, 0 dollars
with a note that they will apply for co-sponsorships next year
and ABC will be lenient
They didn't apply for any grants even though they get
department They get department funding and they are doing
okay, they previously had received a cut but are pretty active.
Consistent programming
They are a very strong group with a serious general body that
puts in hours for the club - they consistently serve 60 - 100
people every week. They don't apply to internal grants, but they
get a lot of outside funding and grants. They are concerned that
getting outside funding makes it look commercial, though they
reasonably spend their money, but they don't have a
demonstrated need for more money based on what they
currently bring in. Giving them more money could incentivize
them to reach out more to the non-CS community on campus,
but they haven't made enough strides in terms of applying to
Columbia specific funds, and though it is from corporate
sponsorships, they currently have money to host their events.
They have a lot of institutional memory and are very organized in
terms of logistics. They applied for one co-sponsorship but don't
do much on campus - most of their programming lies outside of
the community.
They have done limited programming in the past year.
They have their steel bridge project and have applied to
additional funds for that.
They have applied for all of the funding they could and received
CIF and JCCC and have done a solid job to demonstrate.
They did not seek additional funding, but have held solid
programming with their current allocation.

They spend their money on travel to a competition in Phoenix

necessarily and serve a niche community and should look at
alternate ways to get their materials as well.

Good, consistent
Growing really quickly, around 15 people each year, new board
started to hold more events that attract international students,
now mostly about turkish culture. More appealing to people to
columbia. Ridiculous allocation request, speaker series, new
board, consistently organizing well, low profile people, continue
doing that, applied for kraft fund, holding service events,
increase but not sure if $550-$1000 is too much. Global Center
possibly withdrew funding.
Underutilization of budget, external funding, and excess funds
indicate need for decrease
Packet, contacted advisors, request $250, PROBATION. Rep
wants to $0, had originally motioned for derecognition. $0 and
then $250 through cosponsorships, no communication
Board problems, speaker series, they have been the same,
programmed the same, consistent about programming, not
requesting increase
Good, consistent
Non-existent this year, problem in their board, contacted about
$80 and $100 event - only spent $180 out of money.
Recommending 30% cut, still can program well, also have
revenue. Otherwise too harsh, not wasting money. 30% is ideal
for just a bad year, not automatically cut but they didn't explain
the unspent allocation, etc. Most of the people at the event,
weren't there, quality of event was less. Non-existent because
board problems, now they are better.
These were on top of things, recommended 1000, applied to
turath (kraft film series), growing events, make revenue too,
good users of money. They are really successful, but they also
had people coming though they hadn't applied to stuff. Except
for $300, haven't really applied to grants/co-sponsorships, rising
costs because more people coming. JCCC too and chaplain fund
(no $ received for application). Why didn't they get it? They
didn't apply to us. They are successful
Best club (award), applied to a lot of things, turkish club/iranian
students club, lots of different cosponsorships, strong board, on
top of things. Improving their board structure and everything.
They requested $1289 for next year. They have a satellite group,
some spending will go to that. $765 right now. Lots of recurring
events, repeat the film series. With this extra money, additional
crowds coming in more people coming to each of their events.
No programming
One of the best clubs, newly recognized last year, allocation of
$500, event called christmas market (very cute), making
unofficial events, they also best new group award, applied to
cosponsorships
This club couldn't remember whether they bought a camera.
Encouraged to apply for CIF, applied for and successfully got the
grant. With the amount that JCCC granted, filmmakers go on and
off campus to make their own films and showcase them to
columbia community. Right now they can only support a limited
number of filmmakers, only 10 (hence the increase). They work
with off campus film companies (script reviews).
Didn't contact rep until this semester because they didn't update
contact information, meeting with vp, wants to revamp CU
records, music records aren't a thing anymore. VP has been the
point person if student performers want to perform on campus.
Biggest event - deantini's playlist (deantini's favorite playlist) this
is a really interesting/innovative idea. $5000 requested is too
much.Rep only recommend increasing to $500. Didn't seek
external funding, haven't been able to get into contact with
them. They've already planned everything out for an event.
Don't want to give extra money because they haven't been
consistent + no external funding. let's readdress next year

NO PACKET
Consistent programming, weekly sketches, free and open to
general public, pretty well attended. They apply to gatsby grant
every year because several hundred dollars for art supplies, they
still need money to buy stuff. They also received abc
cosponsorships. Requested $1830 because they use the money.
Diversified amount of things, strong programming
Not a functioning group up until 2 months ago, not good before
then, accused past members of stealing things. However,
because of that their advisor hasn't allowed them to spend any
more for the past few years. Did succesfully apply for capital
investment fund - their board this year has been strong, despire
not being allowed to spend any more. Skit videos, used by
admissions office to welcome class of 2019. They only have
$2700 right now. No increase, no decrease because they had a
bad board and they were limited in their spending and still have
been doing pretty good programming. Actively sought out capital
fund.
Wasteful spending observed, had $500 left of allocation with no
rationale, no eaf sent to ABC for giving $600 to a speaker, they
have, one or more times, used a false EAF number. Cut. No
access to budget. $750 + probation
Really reaches out, programming is really good, this year they
have a lot of events (Suits + bill nye), they try to do better things
because they want people to go to. costs are going up - they
never reached out about cosponsorships even though rep asked
about it. Relying on cosponsorships from other communities.
Requested $6000, screening rights are more expensive. Do they
ever apply to anything outside, student clubs, etc? The level at
which their events are, want to hold them more often (they have
had to cut back on more movies). Didn't like this group because
they picked their own movies. As a group themselves they have
been doing well, lots of attendence.
Whenever rep talks to them in person, they are not willing to
apply for cosponsorships (they just dont' want to), but they put
increase. Just keep it the same. Why no decrease? Decrease to
$500 - with the $500, the bulk of their programming is still tech
heavy (they need to do tech regardless), food is secondary.
Decrease the amount of food in their budget they only have $80
of tech. They do other things like the radioshow. List of groups to
watch. (Next $500 on karaoke??)
Defunct
They had a fine year, got an increase last year
Did well at their level of funding, did not request an increase
Used $100 for board bonding from allocation, will need money
to co-sponsor group applying to NGR next cycle - not in
allocation packet,
Packet submitted late, in conversations at the beginning of fall
semester with advisers and Glee club
Did not apply for external funding, requested increase to pay
someone to film their concerts, not very communicative and
spend less than their allocation, no tech costs for C555, 521
needed (-100 for filming spent this year unnecessarily),
underspending
Cut last year for not submitting an allocation packet, but scaled
up their programming and applied to a lot of external funding
(ABC + JCCC) for bigger venues and incresed programming,
revenue from concerts
Solid programming, concerts have been good, fill c555
Used money well but did not apply for outside funding
All of the money spent this year was for events that were not on
campus, all for travel. Cut to $500, last year they spent on stuff
on campus, don't want to hurt them too much. Generate money
off campus. They don't do enough campus, no EAFs, etc.
No increase requested
Rep's fave group to work with, asked for an increase, but its
going mostly towards travel that they don't even do it every
year. Shouldn't get recurring allocation for travel
Did not apply for outside funding, solid group, 250 budgeted for
Senior gifts, receive less than comparable groups, used all
allocation halfway through the year

Recognized two semesters ago, started spending last semester,


mostly hold events in the malcom x lounge, rap and freestyle
workshops. granted $400 after being recognized, majority of it
for buying equipment but now done buying equipment (CIF),
club banner, only really spent $100 on programming itself.
Request for $500 for next year, want to give them a decrease,
hold more frequent cyphers, lenient for new group
Very solid group, as a new group they have doen a good job
finding new programming, getting new showcase, applied to
cosponsorships (JCCC because new event), still have plans to
scale up and recommending an increase to 900. They have been
solid about communicating and they have their new board
elected (came and talked to them). Some kind of increase.
Applied to a different things, filled C555 for event and want to
have it in Roone. It is rare for an a capella group to have things in
Roone. What is it specifically going to? Applied for $300 from
JCCC but didn't get it, they want to travel a lot. Because of ticket
revenues, they have solid programming.
Next year planning to spent $270: $170 on two concerts + $100
for music. They have been fine - solid. A lot of spending on food
and publicity.
They applied to a lot of outside funding (though they didn't
succeed) and did not end up getting the rights to their fall show
which hindered them. They focus on outreach and collaboration
and are accessible, but have been slightly lax in programming so
should strive to amp it up for the future.
They use outside funding to enhance their programming and do
well - they asked for no change and are good with their current
level of funding.
No contact or packet.
They have been increasing the quality of their programming and
interest from the community (RENT sold out in 10 minutes) and
they have had to add an extra show. They host showcases and
other events as well - demonstrated they spend well, apply for
grants and enhance community..
They are the governing board for performing arts groups and
have been constantly adding groups. They host programming
well for the performing arts intergroup.
They have been stagnant at their allocation for the past 3 years,
despite having a bigger set each year. They have a successful
revenue model (Tickets + Alumni Donations + Grants and have
had to move big lead up events (such as preview) to the Diana
Event Oval instead of Havana Central. Clearly they spend well,
program well and have been suffering from lack of funds.
They programming really well and attract large crowds to their
audiences.
$11K last year, gets more money from department. lots of
interboard conflict.
wants to spend increased allocation on more drums and other
equipment, not a recurring cost for allocation, apply to outside
funding for one-time infusion UNANIMOUS No change
No anything, no purchases, no money needed
Last year requested 36K, allocated 4000-8000K only ended up
giving them 1620. They did a good job, despite not as good as
last year, still better than others. They went to Paris/London that was out of their own pocket. Get money from other places,
they apply for grants and additional funding, other clubs with
huge operating budgets as well. They would put it to a better use
than any one else. They are center of entreprenuership
community - so many people. Services a lot of people on
campus, on a resource that doesn't exist elsewhere. Having a big
effect. See value in giving groups more money, gives them
incentive to keep some of their programming here and get
people more involved that wouldn't. Their programming would
be different if they didn't get as much ABC funding, less inclusive.
The quality of some of their stuff was less, they would have
hosted more events, got things from columbia entreprenuership,
not sustained throughout because they were in need. The
allocation increase would definitely go to more events. Revenue
not listed on some of their stuff. What about external funding?
What were they able to do with their external funding? How
effective and efficient they used their money? They have a
monopoly in terms of entreprenuership. Generally, they are the
only thing. They are the one primarily serving that community
and far-reaching. 3800 - based on their budget. A: 1 O: 1 Y: 13

No increase requested, used money mostly for printing and they


get most of their money in outside sponsorships which also could
cover the small ammount they do get and their current
allocaiton could go to another (smaller) group where the money
could be really impactful, do they actually need the money or
just use it because they have it? They use their money
responsibly - dialogue needed - could they get it from
somewhere else? could co-sponsor them if necessary, use their

They received $0 last year, requested $1934 (over 100%


increase), their niche is a 1, their rep communication is a 3 (long
monthly updates). Either given them $734 or full amount, could
print at kinkos or they could go to a printer. They haven't applied
to funds for prints. They received a grant for IRAAS - for $1500.
How many hits have they had? Are they reaching people with
their stuff? Have they applied to JCCC or F@CU? They used
outside funding. They have access to that for next year. Same
eboard - confident in their ability. $1500 in outside funding - they
have proved. They can spend $1934 pretty well. Can possibly
mellow out again - we have seen groups who have cycled a lot.
We can't solidify a recurring allocation of so much money just
because of one good year given their rocky history and issues
with sustainability. Even if they haven't gotten JCCC, they have
gotten cosponsorships and IRAAS. We don't only want them to
apply to JCCC - there are other things. Why apply for more funds
you don't need? They can supplement what we give them. Keep
them on probation watch list and watch for volatility.

Personal money and sponsorships from department (not from
us), do we give them an increase even though? Until the
department stops giving them money, they don't need extra
money. They requested $5000 from department but got about
half. JCCC for tech costs? Performance - dancer/musicians. Is that
necessary for a publication? More pages than ADLS, so they need
to pay more. Current allocation is 2650. We generally want to
move publications to the digital mindset. Working with some of
them and said to move to digital - in meetings for allocations,
said we're going to decrease printing costs for allocations accross
the board. Should we cut it so they have a small number for
institutional memory. Should we cut how many they should
print? They also distribute it. Percentage decrease for all
publications. We don't know about readership. Anything below
9% is fine -- pressure publications to print less. The dollar
amount for 1 journal is 10-11. EAch publication has different
types of readership. 1K minimum to print - it varies. MOTION

Current allocation 2131 which was a slight increase, they


increased a lot, had a really good event, applied for 7 external
sources of funding - succcessful in getting money from all of
them. With that in place, stronger board than before - because
now they have strong structure for next year as well. They have
longevity in the group so this recurring increase should be good
for a while.
No packet, only spent $100 for tabling (all they spent), one bad
board shouldn't hurt a group forever. This group should be on
probation for next year. When we cut them down, they can build
back up. Has this club been active previously too? No
communication from them.
$706 dollars, last year they don't apply to any external funding.
They program well
They are small but they have had one major event for the past
few years (luau). Last year for the event, they brought 1 main
dish ($500 of allocation) for food for the event, but because they
couldn't afford anything else, they spent out of pocket to buy
ingredient to cook their own stuff. Only 1 place in brooklyn that
does actual hawaiin food, this year they can't cook themselves
but they still can only afford that one dish. They are pivoting and
not doing this event. What they are doing instead is lei day - no
food, but they will teach people how to use fresh flowers to
make a lei. They are using another group's space for it. They are
going to use the leftover money for costumes, which they are
going to use down the line. They are active throughout the year
performing at other groups cultural shows (have been making
contumes by hand). Planning to buy 3 costumes. Very fiscally
conservative. VERY. Next year, they are scraping luau all together
and because they want to do it properly or not at all. Next year,
instead they will be doing smaller events including lei day. The
last few years, was 1 event a year, and now they are doing 4-5
smaller events. Next year, they are budgeting for the luau and lei
day and costumes (even though they are also buying some this
year). Shouldn't be getting a recurring allocation for a one time
event (550 + 500 infusion one time for costumes)
No increase, have been doing well,

Wants allocation over $4500 - they asked for ABC cosponsorship


for increase tech costs for the second time in a row, their tech
costs have increased by $1000. They need help from us in
funding that - used cosponsorships both years. Got JCCC and
PnP, applied to GBB and Gatsby as well. They applied to every
external funding because don't get enough money from us.
Pretty successful in endeavors. Main endeavor (Tamasha) is
stagnant because saturation of awesome. Increasing allocation
for such a big allocation group by a little is useless/gets lost
because they need a lot of money for a noticable % increase. It is
problematic to give a group such a big increase, but that's
necessary. Now for two years we've given them co-sponsorships,
it is a recurring costs, need to be built into the recurring funding.
Looking to do a whole number of different types of
programming. New programming (penn masala, brought in
speakers, brought in political sphere of south asian culture),
expand in that sphere. Can now apply for external fundings for
new events too. Deliberations - for all of these big events that
people have, everyeone will always apply for funding.
Amount of money that is spent on mixers with other groups? The
amount of money per person is good and doing intergroup
mixers is good. Good part of community, does good things for
umbrella group.

Revenue for Tamasha - $1000?? 700 students, $5/students, a


little bit of corporate sponsorships ($400-$500). They don't have
huge revenue, publicity cost is very large - in the past it's been a
huge issue, this year less so because they spent almost all of
their publicity out of revenue. Budget includes allocation and
revenue spending - very important for them in selling out
though. Too much of an increasing, more comfortable with 10%
thing though their programming has expanded. They have a lot
of little things that they didn't include in the budget. Fall political
conference/spring scale will be the same. Apply to the funds to
increase programming in other ways (only once per year for
JCCC), now it's been two years. This group won't be wasting
money. Smaller events? Night Market, etc. Collaborate with
everyone - everyone co-sponsors tamasha so they get involved
with all of the other groups (these aren't new). Increase is NOT
for the new events (fall conference, political conference), but it's
so they can hold their old programming and then use JCCC/extra
sponsorships for new events because they use all of these
resources for their old programming - which is causing them to
stagnate. Their irresponsible spending is only publicity, gotten
better in the past, it helps and it is from their revenue. Hype
events are included in publicity also part of the Tamasha
programming that week.
A: 5, Y South
Not super communicative, don't spend very well - asked for a
huge increase. Now throwing their huge event, 2 events this year
($700 last semester, $50 in matsuri and $770 for new event), first
event was a great event, dropped off for a while, programming
well for second event. Don't deserve a cut yet, they are keeping
their current proposal, but large ratio of allocation to
membership. Groups can be good without being communicative
to ABC rep. Could cut for sub-par allocation packets.
Y: 11 South
OPS - allocation of 2041, allocation increase to 7900 requested.
Very successful group, they have applied to external funding but
not enough. In the future, next year, etc. would deserve an
increase in allocation but the only problem is that they don't
apply enough to external funding. $600 requested for new event,
didn't apply to JCCC. Recommended no increase at all. They do
well but don't look for external funding. If they want to do other
huge scale events, then they'll be fine or apply to external
funding. We just really want them to apply for external sources
to get more funding and to know what things are recurring (right
now random large scale events that aren't necessarily recurring).
Next year, look for more recurring events/funding before
increasing allocation.

They have 470, requested 850. Recommends $100 increase


because they have done what they need to do for increase.
Threw new event this year, they applied to JCCC, the event went
really well, they want it to be recurring since it was so successful.
Only happened once so increase allocation to $850 is too much,
giving them $100 instead of $300 from JCCC will allow them to
budget into their event and give them leeway to apply for more
grants, etc. Can't give them entire $300 - kind of conservative but
this group has had ups and down. This year is the first year it is
directly outlined that grants are helpful for JCCC. Reasonably
speaking, we can't fiscally give all of the groups the entire money
they get from all of their grants. One of the ways we market the
cosponsorships to councils - in addition to helping JCCC we can
fund them a second time (to keep trying hard they can still go to
the abc cosponsorship while they get up to their entire increase).
We increase their allocation by some amount but still want to
make them have one more check. Still need to look for external
funding.
UNAN
Solid programming that attracts a lot of people (example: cake
competition) and are fine with their current level of spending.
A: 1 U
They represent Columbia very well in National competitions and
spend a lot of money on travel (between ABC AND JCCC), and
they bring national grandmasters for presentations in order to
widen their audience to the Columbia community - there is a
good mix of things for the public and internal travel - and
increase would be used equally for these two aspects which have
demonstrated need due to applying for grants.
A: 1 Y:
Defunct
N/A
They spend large sums of money that they fundraise and
accumulate from corporations (40K raised for their annual ball
among other initiatives to raise money), and extra money would
be used for a recurring conference that would bring MilVets
together accross the board. They historically are organized well
internally, spend well, host good programming and provide for
their community. They have used all of their money and have
exhausted outside funding but are still expanding.
A: 2 Y:
They can beef up their outreach and expansion of their
community and will look into more co-sponsorships. They hosted
a conference and got presenters to present, mostly from their
revenue - they got extra free presenters that they had originally
budgeted for paying for and spend the rest out of revenue.
A: 1 Y:
They spend a lot of money on publicity, training (recertification)
and calls. For confidentiality, we only communicate with one
person. They are an essential function to the community but we
should examine who grants their funding moving forward.
A: 3 U
There is a little bit of struggles in terms of when they get
screening rights and how long they are extended for - so they
have a differeing need for allocation every year, but last year was
when they didn't spend all of their allocation because of it. If this
continues to be an issue in the future then we will need to
address it.
A:2 Y:
Had a lot of trouble in beginning of year, didn't have an
allocation, applied for JCCC (supplies) - got $350. They don't
need much money, want to have more advertising, did a lot of
study breaks and projected food costs. They'll have events where
they do viewing parties and things.

N/A
They are a new group (with no initial allocation) but have been
communicative and want money for recurring supplies. Because
consoles, etc. aren't recurring, they won't be in allocation, but
money will be given for the natural updating necessary for
consoles/games, etc.

expenditures on recurring items.

AG002974 Women in Computer Science


AG002975 Gosh Yarn It
Student Union for Sustainable Development

Gave no money this year, wants $1000, get $13,500 in corporate


cosponsorships. Their budget says that they need to spend about
$14000. Mainly their $13K - $11K is conference and $2K for
annual networking thing. The rest is study breaks, tech
workshops, etc. They want to expand and have more - they're
new. Didn't apply for cosponsorships, mostly spent money on
food. Most pre-professional groups are like that. They can apply
to ABC next year for a cosponsorship - if we don't know what
they're going to do with it in practice. Professor lectures.
