    Whereas, Organizations receiving funding directly from the graduate and professional student activity fee (GPSAF) are called byline-funded organizations.

    Whereas, GPSAF is distributed for the greater good of graduate students through byline organizations. 

    Whereas, GPSA charter directs the Vice President of Finance to maintain all aspects of the student activity fee, including review of the GPSA Byline Allocation Procedures.

    Whereas, the funding of GPSA byline organizations is regulated by the Appendix A and Appendix B.

    Whereas, GPSA’s Appendix A and Appendix B have not been updated in a meaningful way for several years.

    Whereas, the set agreement betweenCornell Cinema and GPSA for byline allocations has elapsed, and no longer limits the GPSAF allocation to the Cornell Cinema.

    Be it finally resolved, that the GPSA adopt the newly revised Appendix A and Appendix B put forth in the attached document.

    Siim Samuel Sepp, Vice President of Finance
