The Undergraduate Student Government (USG) meeting on Apr. 4 passed two bills and tabled one. The first bill passed was the Election Reform Bill 2.0, which, among other things, banned those running for a USG position from using stickers during their campaign as to avoid defacing DU property and signs.

The second bill passed was the Elections Commission Bill. This bill confirmed Senator Jenni Trigilio as USG’s Election Commissioner, per the appointment of USG President Bryce Armijo.

Lastly, the bill that was tabled was the Amendment Amendment. This bill proposes to change the process in which amendments are made on bills.

At the meeting, USG also passed one organization’s request for funding while denying two other requests. The request that passed was $600 for a collaboration fund between Society of Women Engineers, National Society of Black Engineers and American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Those that failed were requests from the Muslim Student Association (MSA) and Delta Zeta. MSA requested $5,000 for a Supplemental Emergency Fund for a trip to a national conference, while Delta Zeta requested $800 for a Collaboration Fund to financially support their fundraiser for the nonprofit Starkey Hearing Foundation. USG voted not to fund MSA because USG lacked the adequate funds. Furthermore, USG could not fund Delta Zeta because, as a nonprofit themselves, DU is not able to fund other nonprofits.
