Where your money is going

The article explores how the Saint Michael's College Student Government Associated is allocating student tuition funds, shedding light on both the transparency and controversies surrounding the process. However, some students express frustration, questioning whether their money is being used effectively, particularly in areas like facility improvements and extracurricular opportunities. Alongside the typical allocation to campus events, club activities, and student services, it highlights that executive board officers receive an annual stipend, a point of contention among some students. This criticism is heightened by the fact that a few years ago, the student government eliminated Fix It with Five, a $10,000 community outreach grant initiative, citing a lack of funding.
