The University Park Student Fee Board met Friday to hear allocation request presentations from the Council of Commonwealth Student Governments (CCSG), Graduate and Professional Student Association (GSPA), and Office of Student Activities.
Hibah Akbar, the president of CCSG, kicked the Board’s round of hearings off with a presentation of her organization’s request.
CCSG is an organization made up of student representatives from both the Commonwealth Campuses and University Park that advocates on behalf of the Commonwealth. CCSG works toward streamlining the voices of the Commonwealth Campuses.
Akbar outlined CCSG’s request of $4,096 for the 2021-2022 funding cycle. This request is less than years past because the Board is accepting carry-forward requests, allowing offices to bring any unused funds into the 2021-2022 funding cycle.
After a long night at the U.S. Capitol, Congress has certified President-elect Joe Biden’s electoral victory.
But in the aftermath of the violent riot that unfolded hours before the certification, instigated by President Donald Trump, many are still in shock, calling the uprising an attack on democracy.
Thousands of pro-Trump supporters stormed the Capitol grounds Wednesday afternoon, following a “Save America March” where President Trump talked about the importance of showing strength and encouraged the crowd to march to the Capitol as Congress was in session to count Electoral College votes for the 2020 presidential election. Authorities have confirmed that four people are dead following the violent attack.
