Response by The 40 Percent Plan to DSG columns
Let’s look at what hasn’t changed. First, SOFC deliberations are still closed to the public. This means that, when SOFC decides where your money goes and how much to give to each group, no one can hear what they discuss. Second, SOFC still controls $700,000 of students’ money with a line-item veto and is barely accountable to students. Third, SOFC can still be stacked with students with particular affiliations and preferences and can disburse funding in a viewpoint-biased manner. Fourth, you, as a student, still have practically no say in where your own money goes.
