Cutoffs only apply to this year’s class.

Possible budget cuts considered by Cabinet treasuryNew Students’ Association Appropriation Committee treasurer Carolyn Kaminski will, along with the remaining business managers, be considering budget cuts.

“The business managers met last night and discussed how to form the budget, how to put it together, and how to lay it out,” Kaminski said.

“Controllers meet with business managers to compare the budget to last year’s. Then they have until early March to be finalized.”

Although the budget due next week is only the beginning, the steps that the managers take now may ultimately affect Students’ Association groups and their ensuing programs for next semester.

Kaminski is unsure yet whether cuts will be made in SA funding although many organizations are requesting for funds.
