Budgets for the five boards funded by the Student Activity Fee will be discussed and decided at Thursday’s meeting of the Apportionment Board.

Total funds reserved for the boards are $447,375, AB Chair Jen Fanthorpe said Wednesday. The five boards combined requested a total of $495,670.20, she said, meaning a total of $48,295.20 will have to be cut from the boards’ budgets.

The five boards, which are Student Government, the University Board, Sports and Recreation, Dramatic Performances and the AB, presented their proposed budgets to the AB at its two previous meetings.

The AB oversees the budgets for the five boards, and also has a reserve account for unforeseen circumstances of the boards.

Once cuts are decided, the boards will have until March 21 to revise their budgets. After revised budgets are approved, they will go before the Student Senate, Shirley Stewart, acting vice president for student affairs, interim President Lou Hencken and then Eastern’s Board of Trustees.

The meeting will take place at 7 p.m. in the Arcola/Tuscola Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
