LTI Student Activity Funds Committee

Responsibilities

Traditionally, one person has held the semi-official role of student funds treasurer. Activities were suggested by any student or small group, and events were organized and paid for (using Student Funds) by those people in coordination with the treasurer. Past treasurers include Moss (ananlada@cs) and Joy (joy@cs).

In response to a growing department, it was suggested at a student meeting that the single treasurer be replaced by a committee of seven people. Seven people volunteered on the spot and were approved by a vote at that meeting, with the following responsibilities:

At this student meeting, responsibility for suggesting and organizing events was explicity given to the student body and not to the Student Activities Fund Committee, who would only facilitate funding activities which would be organized by other students. In practice, every event this year with the exception of the camping trip (thanks, Kevyn!) has been organized by a committee member. Organizing activities may be added to the list of committee responsibilities at a future student meeting.

Activity Policies

Guests:
It is the intention of the "you plus one guest" policy to encourage LTI students with families to join us in our activities. Abuse of the guest tickets for multiple friends or trading in guest tickets could result in a higher cost per event, and fewer LTI student events overall so please use your best judgement. In general, the reasonable person principle will apply in terms of extra tickets and guests. Thank you!
