Rationale of the Committee

The committee felt that Slope Media Group offers a terrific service to the Cornell undergraduate community. Committee members were impressed by the quality of featured content as well as the strong organization leadership. The committee viewed the transition to byline funding from the SAFC as natural for this organization and felt that SAF funding would allow Slope Media Group to grow more quickly. However, some committee members felt that $1.50 in funding was more than was needed for the group and pointed out some unnecessary capital expenditure and marketing costs. In addition, most members didn’t want SAF funds to cover costs for computer programmers for the web development and felt that it was a non-essential cost. Finally, some members suggested that the SA seek to implement an inventory tracking and audit policy for Slope Media’s capital expenditures in their Appendix B requirements. Overall, the Committee was pleased with the application and looks forward to working with Slope Media Group in the future to tackle issues of importance to the organization.
