New KU Student Senate fund aims to boost campaign equity
Heard on the Hill reports Student Body President Stephenn Alcorn says a fund administered by KU’s Office of Student Affairs will help coalitions meet the $1,000 campaign cap. Coalitions can receive up to $700 after raising $300 themselves, with funding tied to each coalition’s share of candidates. The goal is to reduce monetary inequities and expand participation in student government.
