...suggestions included making three vice-chairs for the Student Affairs Committee (SAC), giving the Financial Committee (FiCom) more control over its weekly grants packages, and reforming the role of the Treasurer to be more autonomous and work with three “mini-treasurers” on each committee...
...grant for $209 to the Harvard Republican Club was sent back to FiCom for reconsideration. The grant to fund fliers about Social Security was objected to on the grounds that the UC as a non-profit organization is not allowed to fund explicitly partisan events...

The Dean’s Office must also develop its own, clearly-explicated policies, so that coalition-sponsored events of the future do not overlook cheaper, higher capacity venues out of past experience...
