Their program last week regarding the history of traditionally black fraternaties and soririties was really a great program. :D As for the OIG request it was shady, no offense to Mr. Pinson, but he served on Senate he should already know the rules...

The funds are never transferred between programs (the only transfers that can occur through the i-fee are from surplus ), but rather a cost is covered. There's no "special account" as far as I know. I don't disagree with you about the requests from the recognized groups, I simply wanted to clarify the Exec budget piece I think Senate was prudent in their decisions regarding the UOIG and Zeta Phi Beta. Besides, I'm not much of an internet debater. We provide co-sponsorships, but it’s only accessible to ASUO recognized entities or events put on by the University.

I think Ty Schwoeffermann was involved in such a situation a while back, but I'd need a minute to find examples that I am more familiar with. Have you heard of situations like this? Again, the OIG presentation was totally unconvincing. I was merely trying to encourage Senators to ask groups to explain the wider benefits to the student body of special requests expenditures. Zeta Phi Beta did exactly that in their presentation, and didn't have to be asked. That's all.
