To allocate the Student Activity Fee to student organizations in an efficient and timely manner, and to ensure transparency of processes, deadlines, policies, and decisions. The Finance Board must strive to find a balance between funding what are accepted to be the most popular and deserving events while simultaneously ensuring that small niche groups have a chance at funding as well.

The Finance Board is the financial arm of the Student Association. Led by the Comptroller, this year’s Dylan France, and elected student members from different communities, the Board makes financial decisions for different clubs and organizations on campus. These are sent to the Assembly for approval. Using the Financial Code, the Board votes on each individual budget fairly to make equal decisions for all.
