According to an article in the Daily Forty Niner, an ASI and USU budget of $9.95 million was passed for the 2009 - 2010 fiscal year. The budget passed with a senate majority voting 6 to 4.
In this new budget, senators will receive a $30 pay cut, judicial cabinet positions will receive a $50 pay cut and ASI executives will receive a $1,512 pay cut. This money will now go to student organizations to help them cope with the decreasing funds available to them.
According to ASI Treasurer, Brian Troutner, ASI has only $178,094 available for these student organizations, but has received a total request of $403,129 for event funding.
The cuts will also be taking $17,000 from athletics scholarships and force 20 scholarships into hibernation.
