First, the UC’s Campus Life Committee previously was responsible for planning and funding social events such as pep rallies, airport shuttle busses, and $1 movie nights. But the committee was scrapped in May. Its responsibilities—and, hence, its financial obligations—were transferred to the newly-formed College Events Board.
