Letters to the editor: Explaining your SAFAC Allocations
Issue date: 5/9/08 Section: Ed-Op
Most groups who met with liaison were able to work out these issues before hand. Student organizations that didn't receive what they wished may file an appeals application to ask for funding for the items that were not funded. They must meet with their liaison before filing an appeals application to work out any issues before coming in front of SAFAC.
Appeals applications are available online at www.drexel.edu/safac and are due no later than May 16, 2008 6 p.m. in GSDC room "32F."
It is important to remember that SAFAC is a subsidizing funding source and exists to help student organizations meet some of their financial expectations. SAFAC should never be depended upon as financial means for any student organization to exist.
We strongly encourage student organizations to look at other funding options such as fundraising, soliciting donations, and collecting dues if they are not satisfied with their SAFAC Allocation.
With opening allocations to political and religious groups as well as fraternities and sororities, there are more organizations eligible to apply than ever before. With each new academic year there are also many more student organizations created which also become eligible to apply. The number of student organizations eligible to apply for SAFAC funding can impact how much student organizations will receive in funding through the annual allocations and appeals process.
