After making initial budget cuts and allocations, the DASB had a surplus of $35,225. Where was that excess amount of money distributed? Where did the 2000-2001 funding transfer to? The figures are approximate according to La Voz calculations.
Responsible for allocating nearly one million dollars, the DASB determines where and how much money to allocate to various campus causes.
The DASB allocated the extra money several ways.
Approximately $12,000 was set aside by the DASB for capital projects.
Another $10,000 was allocated to specific De Anza College Services including La Voz and Diversity Leadership Training Program (DLTP).
New accounts Mosaic and Cross-Cultural Partnerships. They were allocated about $5,000.00.
An extra $1,000 was allocated to the Inter Club Council (ICC).
The creative arts division was given $8,000. That funding was dispersed among several activities; Jazz Ensemble, the Euphrat Museum, band, and other programs in the division.
In order to properly allocate the extra funding, the DASB also had to make slight cuts in certain programs.
DASB senators say that most programs ask for much more than they actually need and that they allocate the money the best that they can.
