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.

In conduct proceedings, SU gets to make the rules and change them at will

When Alpha Chi Rho sued Syracuse University in June after being suspended, the fraternity argued that university officials led a conduct proceeding riddled with errors.
Most alarming to the fraternity and its lawyers was how one university official single-handedly changed the trajectory of the case.
After a student alleged that members of the fraternity shouted a racial slur at a student, a University Conduct Board suspended Crow, claiming that a guest of the fraternity may have shouted the slur. But a University Appeals Board said no policy exists at SU that would make the fraternity responsible for the actions of a guest. The appeals board overturned the prior ruling and threw out the suspension.
