Finance Council Meeting, 01/26/2009

Today, an important revision was made to the Finance Council Ops Policies concerning advertising in the Technician and the Reflector. According to the new amendment, unanimously passed, "advertising by the Reflector and the Technician in their assigned publication will be exempt from FCOP Chapter II, Section F. Advertising by the Reflector and Technician shall continue to be covered by Bylaw Thirteen in the KSG Constitution."

Basically, this means that the formerly disallowed subsidizing and fundraising of/for anything that supports a non-approved or unfunded line-item, as well as the necessitation of forms for co-sponsorship with other non-Kettering-sponsored organizations, is now possible for both publishing entities. However, line-item transfer forms are still required for spending money on items not listed in either organization's budget, and the advertising of alcohol to Kettering's student body is still a state and federal offense (though it would otherwise be possible under this new state of exemption).

The decision does not affect both sections, as it was made under only A-section's Finance Council.

For those who wish to know what exactly is meant by Bylaw 13's continued coverage of the Technician and Reflector, click here. Bylaw 13 has not been amended since the date on that iteration of the constitution.
