Enrollment Management, Marketing and Student Services Vice President Jon Hansen spoke to the CAB representatives to clarify some information about student fees and advisers. Hansen said clubs should do their best to have their advisers at all the events they host, but it is not required. If the advisers are not at the events, clubs leaders need to take charge and be responsible. It is recommended that clubs ask for more money to be allocated for their funds in future years so that if they take a trip the advisers can travel with the club without having to pay for themselves. The administration will release the advisers to go on the trips with clubs if it is a long trip.
The student activities fees are the club’s to spend as they see fit from a student standpoint. Clubs cannot receive funds if they discriminate or are exclusive. Hansen also said the fees can be used for fundraising, contrary to what has been said before. The fundraising needs to be cleared through Leslie Bargen and Pat Beau.
The clubs that are not nationally recognized clubs are not covered by insurance through CSC. The clubs can get insurance with fundraising or by asking for allocations. The clubs need to follow all state and federal laws with their fundraising. The clubs are not covered under the college’s tax exempt and the clubs will have to fill out forms to pay taxes on the money that they raise. Clubs need to make sure to keep track of their expenditures. He also encouraged the club representatives to support the social work class that is hosting the sexual assault workshop on Oct. 14.
