The College administration alone will review travel funding applications from student groups and distribute the supplemental funds to HoCos—two tasks originally entrusted to the UC when the fund was initiated.
“In reviewing the success of [the Student Life Fund], Dean Hammonds determined that the College, which is making the funds available, should also be responsible for awarding those funds,” Faculty of Arts and Sciences spokesman Jeff Neal wrote in an e-mailed statement.
At the peak of the University’s budgetary crisis last spring, Hammonds temporarily deactivated the fund pending further review of its use and purpose, according to Assistant Dean of the College Paul J. McLoughlin.
When Hammonds created the fund at the beginning of the 2008-2009 academic year, it amounted to $75,000 drawn from her discretionary funds, and was jointly administered by the UC and the College administration.
College administrators said they will use criteria similar to last year’s when reviewing applications for domestic travel. Those criteria provided funds for “one-time, novel” travel opportunities, Neal said.
