A. In evaluating budgets, the Budgetary Committee shall use the following criteria in determining the amount of money each organization is allocated. Each criterion must be used. Organizations shall be evaluated upon the following criteria:
- Degree to which the Programs, Events, and Activities (P/E/As) of the organization provide a unique service to the university’s student community.
- Scope which an organization has (including its P/E/As and other non funded activities). This should take into consideration the number of students affected, the effect on the community outside of campus, and the size of the organizations.
- The percent of funds used in prior year(s) relative to the amount allocated.
- Quality of budget. This should include clarity, accurateness, compliance with UOSA and University policies and regulations, and the reasonability of the budget. Unreasonable request for large sums of money shall count against organizations.
- Degree to which funding the organization’s P/E/As request will accomplish the stated goals of the organization.
- One criterion specific to the particular category of the organization.
B. While all these criteria shall be taken into consideration by the committee, the relative weights of the criteria within a category shall be at the committee's discretion, provided that the relative weights are consistent within each category.
