8 Amendments Amendment I: Policy on Dean s Fund for Public Health Student Organizations A. Request Submission. Student organizations wishing to request monetary assistance from the Dean s Fund for Student Organizations must complete and submit the following items for consideration: 1. Student Organization Funding Request Form 2. Itemized event/activity budget of anticipated expenditures 3. Itemized contributions from other funding sources B. Decisions Process. Requests May NOT Exceed $250 per semester per organization. Upon receipt of a request, the treasurer will forward these materials to the full PHSA Senate for review. Approval of the request requires affirmative votes from at least eight full Senate members, including at least two members of the Executive Board. Timeliness: PHSA will work to ensure the timely processing of all funding request decisions. However, in order for student organizations to receive approved funding, a funds transfer must be processed by Student Organization Account Services (SOAS). PHSA has no control over services provided by SOAS and therefore cannot guarantee a timeline for this process. Accordingly, PHSA strongly recommends that all funding requests be submitted as early as possible in order for organizations to receive funds prior to when they are needed. C. Deadlines. Dean s Fund requests will be reviewed on a rolling basis in the order they were received. The initial request must be submitted to the PHSA Treasurer prior to the event taking place. Dean s Fund requests during the Winter term must be submitted by Friday at 5 P.M. prior to the last full week of classes. Requests received after this deadline will not be eligible for consideration. D. Funding Criteria. The Dean s Fund is intended to support special events and activities that promote collaboration, networking, and scholarship across all departments and individuals within the SPH. The following guidelines will be used in evaluating requests: 1. The event or activity shall be open and advertised to all students, faculty, and administration within the school. The event shall allow the participation of at least 50 attendees. Enrollment for any event shall open to all students and faculty of the SPH simultaneously. No pre-enrollment by members of a student organization is permitted. 2. The event or activity should promote the mission of the organization, and more broadly, the mission of the school itself: The University of Michigan School of Public Health seeks to create and disseminate knowledge with the aim of preventing disease and promoting the health of populations in the United States and worldwide. We are especially concerned with poor, often minority populations, who suffer disproportionately from illness and disability. Among health science schools, we are unique in that we place a strong emphasis on disease prevention and health promotion, rather than on the treatment of existing illness. We aspire to be a crossroads of knowledge, where ideas and people from the biological, physical, social, and managerial sciences meet. The school employs integrated approaches to solving public health problems, and teaches and promotes the ethical practice of public health. Page 8
9 3. The event or activity should not be a part of normal operations and regular meetings of a student organization. 4. Student organizations are encouraged and expected to seek out multiple funding sources, including individual fundraising. However, in the instance where an individual such as a speaker has donated his or her time to participate in the event, this donation of time shall be considered as an alternate funding source. The event or activity should not rely entirely on the Dean s Fund for support, aside from exceptional circumstances. The student organization will be expected to submit all other sources and amounts of funding when applying. In the instance an organization is partnering with PHSA for an event said organization would be responsible for submitting the Dean s Fund request. E. Allocation per Semester. The total sum of $4000 shall be divided into two allotments of $2000 (per semester). If a total of $2000 is not used in the fall semester, the remaining amount shall be carried over into winter term. F. Disciplinary Action. Failure to abide by these guidelines may result in a student organization being referred to the SPH Office of Academic Affairs for potential disciplinary action. Page 9
