Introduction

The purpose of the Funding at Columbia University (F@CU or FaCU) is to facilitate, support, and enrich student development in the form of student activities of campus. FaCU strives to support student development on campus, through fair and transparent allocation of the Student Activities Fee, based upon the needs of each student group.

The FaCU Committee is composed of the incoming and outgoing Presidents and Treasurers of each undergraduate Student Council, for a total of 16 members. This committee meets during reading week at the end of the Spring semester each year to determine the governing board allocations for the following year, after reviewing the allocation application packets submitted and presentations made by the various governing boards.

Allocations listed to the right indicate only the additional contribution to the budgets of the five governing boards and any special allocations that will be made by the four undergraduate Councils for the academic year indicated. The actual budgets of each of these governing bodies will consist of these allocations and also include any surplus that may exist from the previous year's allocation and/or revenue, or from any funding source external to the undergraduate Student Councils.

Listed are the allocations made to each of Columbia's five undergraduate governing boards and any special allocations as determined by the members of the FaCU Committee and ratified by each of the four Student Councils in May of each year for the following academic year. Depending on the governing board, either three or four of the Student Councils make contributions toward each allocation according to a ratio determined by relative student enrollment among the schools.
