Student Government Association (SGA) and the Budget Allocation Committee (BAC) met Fri. March 7 for their weekly meetings in Lienhard Lecture Hall.

The constitution committee will vote on the donation amendments of the constitution. It was brought up at the SGA meeting that the $10,000 donation for Pace for Kids (P4K) left many students and Pace board members unhappy. Changes to the constitution have yet to be voted on, but the options proposed are: the cap of for donations cannot exceed $1,000, there will be no donations, or there will be no cap, but donations are acceptable.

The vice president of programming’s report proposed the idea of having a vice president of programming position for every organization that would meet with SGA. The student involvement on campus has decreased and in creating programs that will draw attention, the hope is that involvement will increase.

The Peace and Justice Society was voted an official organization in the senate. The organization can now vote and participate in senate. The organization discusses international topics as well as hunger and debt throughout the globe. Activism is part of their mission and goal on campus.

P4K was approved for the fall philanthropy event during the BAC meeting. The event was proposed as a unifying experience for Pace as a whole and has evolved into a “Pace Tradition” in the last year.
