Point Tech: No. 25 Tech opens ACC play Friday JFC enacts new policy for Tier 3 Organizations By John Parsons Senior Staff Writer

SGA’s Joint Finance Commit- tee enacted a new policy for this budget year that now limits the num- ber of events to five competitions for which a Tier Three organiza- tion may include travel and regis- tration expenses in their budget. Tier Three organizations, as defined by SGA, are those organizations other than the SAC and Student Center Operations Boards (Tier One) that are not deemed to have some sort of necessary or campus-wide impact, such as Student Publications or Dra- maTech (Tier Two). This policy will drastically alter the way in which many of Georgia Tech’s 24 sports clubs operate.
