The Student Government Association (SGA) focused on committee reports and voted on bylaw proposals at last night’s meeting.
In other actions, Oklahoma Christian University’s Outreach team presented a funding request for their student-led spring break mission trip. The Appropriations committee, led by SGA Treasurer Taylor Dotson, previously voted on contributing $1,000 to the mission trip. The total cost for the trip is $6,318.
The SGA voted on various bylaw revisions to consolidate campaigning, change certain Spring Sing rules and include additional college representatives to the SGA. According to the revised bylaw, “out of the remaining profit, $5,000 shall remain in the Spring Sing account to be used as seed money for the following year. The remaining profit will be returned to the SGA prior to the end of the academic year and put into the SGA endowment fund.”
Appropriations currently has five pending funding requests to review including Outreach, Worth-a-tri, Clinic Vitals and the Bataan Memorial Death March. Executive Chair Taylor Dotson also clarifies the discrepancies concerning the Outreach funding request.
