UFC releases new funding figures

By Lauren Rosenbaum | June 15, 2010

The Undergraduate Finance Committee received an budget of $1,002,000 to allocate to student organizations for the 2010-2011 academic year, up from the $960,000 budget of 2009-2010, according to its June 3 press release. The UFC's budget was larger because of a scheduled tuition increase. This year's UFC chair, Kathryn Arffa '11, said that an increase in the student activity fee allowed the committee to allocate substantial funds to each organization despite the overall decrease in the College's budget this year. The cost of the student activity fee is tied to the amount students pay for tuition, which the Board of Trustees increased by 4.6 percent in March. "We were actually one of the few sections of campus to receive an increase in our budget versus a budget cut," Arffa said. She added that the increase in student activity funding is part of a strategy to counteract the effect budget cuts might have on individual's "Dartmouth experience." Arffa noted that while the UFC had an increased overall budget, its members tried to employ "fiscal conservativeness" in its decision-making. "Although we have an increased budget, we need to understand that the College is experiencing budget cuts," Arffa said.
