The three student activity fee funded boards that received decreased budget amounts gave their revised budgets to the Apportionment Board Thursday.

Budget proposals for all five boards will now go to the Student Senate for approval and then to Shirley Stewart, interim vice president for student affairs, interim President Lou Hencken and finally Eastern’s Board of Trustees.

Before spring break, the AB decided on budget amounts for the five boards. The AB and Players Dramatic Performances budget amounts remained the same. The UB was granted $189,876, a decrease of about $14,000. The Student Senate was granted $31,035, a decrease of $3,000, and Campus Recreation was granted $179,000, approximately $31,000 less than it had requested.

UB Vice Chair Caleb Judy said Thursday that committee programming will aim to stay the same, though some programming will be eliminated.

One exception to that is the movies committee, which received an increase of $5,000, because a movie will be shown every Saturday school is in session next year, Judy said. Movie attendance has increased this year by 500 percent, Judy said.

“It’s been really successful,” he said of the movies which attract an average of 300 attendees.

The UB will now provide a stipend for all coordinators, but will remove the tuition waiver previously provided to the productions coordinator, Judy said.

A tuition waiver was provided to the productions coordinator because of the highly technical skills required, Judy said. However, the productions coordinator will still receive extra compensation, because the job is paid hourly, Judy said, in addition to the stipend provided to all coordinators.

All coordinators will receive a $50 stipend each month for their work, Judy said. The amount originally budgeted was $100, but was cut to accommodate their given budget. Coordinators did not previously receive any stipends.

The UB chair and vice chair will now receive a 12-credit-hour tuition waiver, to compensate for the 30 plus hours of work they put in each week, Judy said. The waivers are still possible because the UB will decrease the number of graduate assistants from four to two, Judy said. The tuition waivers cost less than the salary of two graduate assistants, he said.

Campus recreation, which received a budget $31,000 less than requested, removed that amount from the graduate assistant, student payroll, scholarships/awards and equipment line items.
