Another possibility is to fund specific areas in which student groups might face new financial challenges, and two come to mind. Perhaps the UC could reimburse student groups for the new fees charged to gift account deductions until a more permanent solution is found. Or the UC could increase its subsidy on T tokens for volunteer groups, given the steep increase in T fares...
...UC cannot decide the appropriate way to spend the money, or if students prefer that the money not be spent at all, then the Council should reimburse a portion of students’ termbill fees—even if it only means sending a couple of dollars to each student. The UC should not misinterpret its mandate from two years ago. At the least, it must hold a visible debate, with plenty of input from students, about where to spend the remainder of the money. If not, its databases have our campus addresses in them. We wouldn?...

Since the controversial hike passed, reports of botched operations, missing checks, and high-profile failures have left many disillusioned with the Council and desperate for serious reform...

With CLC dissolved, they argue that the UC neither needs nor has a right to the money. For others, any UC fee is absurd: students should choose themselves which student groups receive their $75 and leave SAC to haggle with Dean of the College...
