UW-Madison Chancellor vetoes student government budget rulings

Anna Duffin:

UW-Madison Chancellor David Ward overruled several of the Student Services Finance Committee's rulings from this fiscal year Tuesday in a memo sent to committee Chair Sarah Neibart.

While the committee ruled in February not to increase the Wisconsin Union and Recreational Sports budgets as the groups had requested, Ward overruled the committee's recommendation and opted to fund the groups' requested budgets.
Neibart said her committee denied the groups' requests because they did not provide all the information SSFC requested regarding how segregated fees are spent.

Neibart said since students pay for these programs, they should know exactly where their money is going.
