Campus organizations presented requests to receive Services and Activities Fee funding with several groups factoring in losses caused by COVID-19.
To receive S&A Fee funding, nonacademic student groups must present to a committee with a proposed funding request and plans on allocating the money. The committee discussed in early April and will craft a recommendation to the Board of Regents for where the funds should be distributed.
The Regents will review the proposals in May for approval or rejection of the requests.
For the 2020-21 school year, $9.5 million was allocated for WSU organizations, such as ASWSU, the Children’s Center and University Recreation.

Candidates for Associated Student Government executive positions took questions from students Friday night in the third and final debate of the 2021 election, prompting conversations about inclusivity, student safety and accountability of campus leaders.
The presidential, vice-presidential, treasurer and secretary candidates on the Vision and Make it Matter tickets shared the stage in a town-hall-style forum moderated by Honors College Dean Lynda Coon. To accommodate COVID-19 restrictions, the event was live-streamed to a virtual crowd, and students were asked to submit questions through Instagram and Twitter.
Much of the discussion was geared toward improving the presence of ASG agents on campus, particularly within student-led organizations, and creating a more accessible student government. The prospective leaders were asked how they plan to ensure that Registered Student Organizations will receive the funds and resources needed to operate successfully.
The 2021 Associated Student Government treasurer and secretary candidates introduced themselves to the student body and shared their plans for improving the UofA in the first debate of the campaign season Wednesday night.
The candidates representing the Make it Matter ticket, juniors Shalu Jivan and Sarah Feather, joined the Vision ticketâs candidates, juniors Hanna Patel and Kaleigh Koc, in Giffels Auditorium to discuss their visions for the 2021-22 school year.
Secretary candidates Feather, who is majoring in communications, and Koc, who is majoring in journalism, both said they think every studentâs voice should matter equally, and ASG members need to do a better job of reaching students.
