Notes:
In regards to Founder’s Day Ball, RHA is giving $15,000 to Student Government. We will be paying $9,000
of it in Fall 2015 and $6,000 of it in Spring 2016. This uneven split is to ensure RHA has more funds
available for the spring semester when large scale programming events can take place.
The poster sale revenue put on by Beyond the Wall Posters and RHA, is still to be determined as RHA and
the advisors have reached out multiple times and are waiting to hear back. Last year, RHA received
$3,149.05 in revenue. We are expecting this amount will increase due to the use of the Eagle Bucks Reader
and the amount of traffic through the poster sale in comparison to the previous year.
This year, the RHA Executive-Board has added a line-time for the deficit. The amount allocated is relatively
small as it is unfair to use current resident’s funds to fix an issue of RHA in the past. RHA decided to add
this line item as it looks irresponsible for us to not directly address the deficit of our organization.
The unallocated $160 is incase an unexpected issue arises in which RHA may need extra funds. If it is not
used this semester, the amount will rollover to next semester with any additional unspent funds.
