As spring approaches, budgets get closer.
Jeff Melanson, chair of the Student Senate Tuition and Fee Review committee, presented how the budget process works.
Every spring, the Student Senate reviews each Apportionment Board-funded budget and proposed fee increase from Dan Nadler, vice president for Student Affairs, Melanson said.
AB funds University Board, Student Senate, the Student Recreation Center and AB.
Student fee increases are submitted to Nadler who reviews it and sends it to the Student Senate Tuition and Fee Review committee.
The proposal is presented to the committee who votes whether to recommend the fee increase to Student Senate.
An abbreviated version of the presentation is given to Student Senate.
The Senate can choose to pass or fail the proposal.
If passed, Student Body President Sean Anderson would have to sign it or veto it.
If the proposal is passed, it is submitted to the Board of Trustees who have the final say on whether the increase will happen.
In other business, Facilities Planning and Management gave a brief presentation on the services they provide campus.
Steve Shrake, manager of design and construction, told the Student Senate that the Doudna Fine Arts Center is 68 percent complete.
Renovation projects on Old Main and McAfee Gymnasium are currently on hold as the funds have not been released from the Capital Development Board, he said.
The Old Main renovation involves replacing the north entrance doors, windows in the center section and electrical service upgrade. It does not include the work that is currently going on in Old Main.
Also presented at the meeting was the report on the Illinois Board of Higher Education-Student Advisory Committee.
The Student Senate reached 30 members with the appointment of junior political science major Dan O’Farrell.
