UFC releases new funding figures - Lauren Rosenbaum, The Dartmouth Staff

The Undergraduate Finance Committee received an budget of $1,002,000 to allocate to student organizations for the 2010-2011 academic year, up from the $960,000 budget of 2009-2010, according to its June 3 press release.
The UFC's budget was larger because of a scheduled tuition increase.
This year's UFC chair, Kathryn Arffa '11, said that an increase in the student activity fee allowed the committee to allocate substantial funds to each organization despite the overall decrease in the College's budget this year.
The cost of the student activity fee is tied to the amount students pay for tuition, which the Board of Trustees increased by 4.6 percent in March.
