New Policies Spring 2007
- Speaker/Performer Travel
- Per-mile travel for speakers and performers is now $0.485.
- Copying
- The SAFC switched its preferred copy partner from Kinko’s to Olin Library Copy Center and Gnomon Copy Center. Gnomon charges more for copying ($.0325 per page versus $.03 per page at Olin), but Copies made at Gnomon copy center will be funded at the Olin rate.
- Engagement Agreements
- SAFC will not accept contracts in applications. Organizations may not sign engagement agreements or contracts until funding is secured. A Letter of Intent is the only appropriate agreement that an organization should sign with a speaker or performer when applying for SAFC funds. SAO requires organizations preparing contracts for $1,000 or more to attend a workshop and allow SAO to review the contract before signing.
- Club Sports
- All club sports must register with Lisa M. Deuel, lmd54@cornell.edu, and the Club Sports Council in order to be eligible for funding.
- Travel events
- For more than 4 people to attend, official documentation explicitly explaining why more than 4 students are needed to attend and then exactly how many students are needed to attend the event is required (e.g. a separate signed note from advisor, or printout of tournament website, explaining the additional number of students needed).
- Notes From the SAFC
-
- The President and Treasurer’s Handbook supersedes any information given by an individual commissioner or staff member by word of mouth.
- Groups will only be allowed to bring at most 4 people as representation to budget hearings. For co-organized budgets, up to 6 people are allowed. At least 1 undergraduate must be present to represent their group at the budget hearing. Only 1 additional non-undergraduate member of the group, an advisor, graduate student or alumnus, may attend the budget hearing.
- Any organization whose members receive academic credit for participation in organization activities is not eligible to receive SAFC funding even if the members decline academic credit.
- See the new appeals section in the President and Treasurer’s handbook.
