Clubs and organizations want more money, the student body wants a major concert, and SGA with its current funds simply cannot meet all of these demands. Their possible solutions are to either re-allocate the money from parking passes from the general school fund to SGA, raise the student activity fee an additional 100 dollars, or some sort of combination of the two. Club sports such as club hockey, suck up a lot of SGA’s money. Their plan is to separate club sports from the SGA budget.
