"We have a surplus," said Marc Perry, a member of the SFAC, at the Student Association Senate meeting on Friday, April 23. Crowley disagreed with Perry. "Surplus is definitely the wrong word," Crowley said. "To me it says we have a lot of money we are not handing out. That's not true." According to Crowley, the SFAC has only about $1,500 left in allocation money available for the rest of this year, which entails only three more meetings. "We're right on track," said .Crowley.
