What is the Union?

The Union is innovative.

Some of the most future-focused developments at the Institute have happened because of the Union.

Recent recycling programs, spirit initiatives, and innovative communication systems like Concerto

(http://concerto.rpi.edu) all started with a little push from the Union.

The Union is diverse.

The Union is home to over 200 clubs that host a variety of student interests, and new clubs are being

formed frequently to keep up with the developing student activities on campus. There is a multitude of

student involvement, and an entire community of people with a desire to grow and learn each day. The

Union offers students the opportunity to explore new interests, aspire to reach new heights and

experience the true diversity of the Rensselaer population.

The Union is unique.

Within the Union, we have student-run institutions that mirror those of a small nation: we fund, govern,

and staff a student judicial system that hears cases involving other RPI students; create and manage a

budget of nearly nine million dollars; and design and implement legislative resolutions governing use of

our facilities and systems. Our Student Union is a rare breed unique to us and very few other schools in

the United States; you can count the number of student-funded and self-managed college unions on two

hands.

The Union, At a Glance

The Union is home to 220 recognized clubs.

The Union supports 122 funded clubs.

The Union also supports ICA and Intramural sports, and many other Student Life facilities.

The facilities that the Union operates include:

The Union RPI Playhouse The Mueller Center

Family Community Center WRPI The Ambulance House

The Student Auto Shop W2SZ Model Railroad

‘87 Gym Management under direction of Athletic Department

Academy Hall Student Activities Room and Auditorium

Letters to the Union

From the Senate / E-Board Liaison:

On behalf of the Union Annual Report Committee of the Rensselaer Union, I would like to

present the Union Annual Report 2012. This document gives students, staff, faculty,

administrators, and other members of the RPI Community the opportunity to understand

every aspect of the Union budget, and find out where every cent of their activity fee goes.

Every year, student officers in each of the Union’s 100+ funded clubs work with members of

the Executive Board to submit budgets that reflect the events, competitions, and activities that

these student clubs put together every year. The Executive Board then spends around four

days looking over each budget line by line, program by program to approve or make changes

to the requests made by clubs. After an appeals process, the Union Annual Report

Committee works in close conjunction with the Business Administrator and other Union

Administration Staff to develop the Activity Fee and provide the groundwork for many of the

facts, figures, and graphs that you see in this report.

As students, you should take pride in our Student Union: here at Rensselaer we have the

unique system where students tax themselves for the clubs, activities, and programs that they

would like to see as such an integral part of their college experience. Only our Union gives

students complete control over how the Activity Fees should be divided among such a diverse

club structure. This in a sense embodies the spirit of Rensselaer: its students. While classes

will change, professors will come and go, and new buildings will be constructed, RPI students

will forever be at the forefront of the Student Experience. I would challenge anyone to find

another institution where this type of interaction can be found.

The UAR 2012 serves as the framework for our Union budget. As a member of the Executive

Board, I can say that this year’s budgeting process was especially challenging because

enrollment numbers have been declining for the last two to three years. In an effort to deal

with these changes, we have lowered our projection of undergraduate enrollment from 5250

students to 5000. As a result, the Executive Board had to be more careful than ever in

determining which programs and activities would benefit students the most. I can say with

complete confidence that we were fair, reviewing all activities that we fund, from Clubs to

Athletics, as well as other programs and services vital to the student experience. As always,

if you do not understand any fact, figure, chart, or number in this report, I invite you to ask by

emailing the address on the back cover of the report, or talk to any member of the Union

Annual Report Committee.

Nicole Gallant 122nd President of

the Union

Dear Members of the Rensselaer Union,

What you have before you is a testament of the dedication and motivation of the

student body at Rensselaer. There are over 200 clubs and organizations that

call the Union home, and they are all managed by students. This Union is

something unique to Rensselaer, and it offers students an opportunity to build

on their experience outside the classroom. Rensselaer offers more than just an

academic education.

RPI offers a well-rounded experience, rich with opportunities to grow as a

professional leader and work effectively on a team. At the Union, students are

the facilitators of change. When a club wants to travel, hold an event or conduct

a fundraiser, the students are the designers. Students use the many

organizations supported by the Student Union to showcase creativity, take action

and explore all different kinds of interests. It is very hard to find a similar example

of student initiative anywhere; the Rensselaer Student Union is truly a student

funded, student run organization, and there is no better way to deliver exactly

what students want.

Guided by professional staff members and past club off icers, current club

off icers are taught how to interact with outside businesses, how to manage

a budget , and how to project future expenses. Students are taught how to

run a meeting, how to build a team, and more important ly, how to

accomplish anything they set their minds to. These are the skil ls that al low

students to become innovat ive leaders, and it begins at the Student Union.

The Union Annual Report is a large part of an initiative to create transparency in the budgeting

process. This document is a showcase of our Student Union and it is an important insight into the way

the Union has developed throughout the years. It illustrates how the Union continues to grow in

conjunction with the changing student population. As you can see in the following pages, much effort

is taken to make sure that the Student Activity Fee is being used appropriately, that is, to benefit the

entire school community, and support the functioning of all aspects of the Union. This is by no means

an easy job, and every year, hundreds of student leaders come together to create this budget for the

Union. After club officers develop proposed budgets, the Union Executive Board and advisors review

every budget line-by-line. The board strives for consistency, and is dedicated to using the Union’s

money and resources to best benefit the students. We strive to create a budget that supports activities

which will benefit the student body, and add culture, opportunity, and fun to campus life.


This year’s increase was a reasonable 3.57% increase for undergraduates and 3.54% increase for

graduates. Many forces pushed for an increased budget. With lowered numbers in enrollment the

Executive Board faced a budgeting challenge that would carry forward with the lowered undergraduate

student total. With the national decline in textbook sales, the Bookstore faced a revenue decrease.

Considering these issues, along with increased costs for goods and services sprinkled throughout

budgets, the minimal increase is a testament to conscience budgeting from the club and administrative

level right through to the Executive Board’s deliberation.

We are working towards ways for students to express their thoughts, opinions, and desires when they

see what is happening with their money, or when decisions and events impact their lives here at RPI.

You have a right as a member of the Rensselaer Union, an Activity Fee paying student, to understand

where your $595.50, for undergraduates, and $321.50, for graduates, next year will be distributed. I

encourage you to explore this document for details, ask questions of your Student Government, and

get involved. As paying members of the Rensselaer Union, you deserve to know what is going on, and

you deserve to have a voice. I urge you to take advantage of everything we have to offer and make

the Rensselaer Student Union yours.

Sincerely,

Nicole Gallant ‘13

122nd President of the Union


Russell Brown 146th Grand Marshal

To Members of the Rensselaer Union,

When people ask me why I love Rensselaer, my answer always comes

back to one organization, the Rensselaer Union. The Union, established in

1890, is a rare organization that provides countless opportunities for

students. Whether it is social clubs, service organizations, sports teams, or

student government the Union offers it all. Where else do thousands of

students with varied interests ban together for the benefit of all?

Over 200 student clubs and organizations are part of the Union. In return,

these clubs have access to prime meeting spaces, activity fairs, email and

web technology, and much more. This consortium of clubs reaches almost

every student. I spend quite a lot of my time in the Union building and

continue to be amazed by the wide variety of clubs that call it home. For

every well-established club, there is a group of students applying to start

a new group.

A friend of mine once asked if I would be in the Union building that day. After a moment of thought, I

responded, what days am I ever not in the Union! My experience is not a unique one. Many students call

the union home for meetings, studying, food, or simply hanging out. About half of the Union clubs and

organizations are “Union Funded,” meaning supported by Union money raised through the collection of the

Student Activity Fee, and the profits of the Union businesses.

What is so unique about the Union is that students are behind every as pect of the

budgeting process. From organizat ions submitt ing l ine i tem budgets, the Executive

Board, a group of students who review and approve/deny the budgets, students are in

contro l of thei r own m oney. The professional and f inancia l ski l ls they learn during

the budgeting process give them a leg up in the so cal led real world.

I am honored to present to you Union Annual Report 2012. This document brings together the hard work of

the Union Executive Board and especially the members of the UAR Committee. I encourage you to read this

document as it presents important information regarding the financial workings of the Union and how each

Student Activity Fee is spent. The Union has an $8.1 million budget which serves its members. This budget

allows our Union and its clubs to stay active, vibrant, and inviting for all students.

Sincerely,

Russell Brown ‘14 146th Grand Marshal


THE YE AR IN REVIEW

A Look Back at Some Highlights of the Rensselaer Union in 2011

It is important to remember that the Union Activity Fees were started to help subsidize those unique activities which

would be out of reach or difficult to sustain as individuals or as small groups of members. The money given to

funded organizations each year is distributed by the Union Executive Board with the understanding that it will be

used to enhance the Union community as a whole. Fortunately, our many student-operated organizations continue

to push the boundaries of the imagination, enriching the entire campus with a huge amount of vibrant, intriguing

activities.

The Year 2011 was a great time for the Rensselaer Union's many student-run clubs and organizations. New clubs

were formed to expand the overall breadth of activities supported by the Union and its Activity Fees. Here are just a

handful of the many great things that happened in 2011 at the Union:

Long-time Director of the Union, Richard Hartt ’70, retired in March after serving the student body for more

than 30 years. After a thorough nationwide search, the Union is pleased to welcome Joseph Cassidy to the

Rensselaer family. Joe was approved by the Executive Board, and began work in October.

The Rensselaer Flying Club, formerly the Aeronautical Federation, competed in the regional NIFA

competition and took home numerous medals, in various events such as cross country navigation planning,

pre-flight inspection, and short field landings, both power on and power off. In fact, they would have taken

home the overall team title if not for a lack of members who went to the competition.

The RPI Quidditch Club took flight from a group of very dedicated fans of the popular Harry Potter series.

They play a sport inspired by the books, and travel locally to compete against other college teams.

RPI TV, through reserve contributions and funding from the Activity Fee, completed a switch from analog to

digital high definition broadcasting. For the first time ever, the crew produced and televised the Big Red

Freakout! game on local and campus cable. Their live feed was also used on the video screen at the game.

The Union Speakers Forum hosted Ken Jennings, all-time Jeopardy! Champion, for a lecture on his

experiences and travels while on the popular game show. This lecture was given in front of a maximum

capacity crowd in the Darrin Communications Center, and featured a showdown against RPI Quizbowl.

The Union Admin Office, in conjunction with many of the cultural clubs on campus, hosted the International

Festival over Homecoming Weekend in October. Many students, families, and prospective students

experienced first-hand the diversity of student groups here on campus.

The RPI Ballroom Dance Club hosted Dancing with the RPI Stars as the GM Week Finale event. This

paired student professionals from the club with well-known students, faculty, and staff from around campus

in a mock competition before a panel of “celebrity” judges. This event also served as the announcement

ceremony for the results of the GM Week Elections.

The Clubhouse Pub celebrated its own 21st birthday, complete with a party to celebrate many years of

service to the Rensselaer Community.

Each year a variety of new clubs join the family of recognized clubs supported by the Union. In 2011, the

following clubs were approved as Union recognized organizations:

Greek Spectrum RPI Quidditch Club VOX

RPI PBL Entrepreneurship Fighting Games Club

RPI Mandarin Club Greater China Business Club Hawaiian Cultural Club

RPI Book Club RPI Global Medical Brigades

Notes: Continuing studies students pay no Activity Fee and cannot vote in elections.

The Activity Fee per student is calculated by taking the total academic year fee for undergraduates and graduates separately and dividing them by their respective enrollment numbers. The individual fee is then rounded up to the next $0.50. This amount is not the complete total paid by each student, as it does not yet include class dues.

Here's a guide to the calculations behind each of the Union Activity Fees. The following pages detail selected parts

of the Union's operations as shown here.


H I G H LI G H TE D SEGM E N TS

CLASS DUES

Class Dues are charged to each student for their respective class year. There are four class councils

(Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior), and the Graduate Council. The same class dues are charged to

every undergraduate student, regardless of class year. These dues are generally charged to pay for activities

that are planned and executed by each organization over the course of the student experience at RPI.

Recently, these councils have shown a much higher level of activity, and thus the fees began to increase in

FY ‘09. While the increases have, at times, been dramatic, they have resulted in an increased amount of

funding for class parties, sponsorships, and other social gatherings. The Class Dues for undergraduates will

remain the same at $13.50 for FY ‘13, while graduate dues will not change at $12.00.

SUMMER FEE AND SPECIAL POPULATIONS

Fall & Spring Local Co-op Students: Income from these students is included in the regular Activity Fee

projections.

Summer Local Co-op Students: Summer local co-op students do not pay a summer activity fee.

Continuing-Studies Students: Income attributed to these students is included in the projections of

Bookstore and other Business Operation sales.

Summer School Students (“Summer Fee”): The allocation of the Summer Activity Fee is determined

by reviewing the previous year and making an informed projection for the upcoming Fiscal Year’s

summer session. For FY ‘13 (Summer 2012), $25,000 will be the budget amount of income to be

raised in Activity Fees from summer school students, at a rate of $11 per week. For FY ‘13, the funds

will be distributed based on projected enrollments of 36% ($9,000) for undergraduate students and

64% ($16,000) for graduate students. During the summer, the Union building is still open and

providing services despite the fact that there is a large decrease in undergraduate students on

campus.

EXPENSE ACTIVITIES BY ENROLLMENT SPLIT

Expense activities may provide income, but are chiefly characterized by the fact that they incur more expenses

than the income they bring in. These particular expenses are allocated to undergraduates and graduates

simply by applying the UG/GR split (82.6 % UG / 17.4 % GR) that is presented on Page 8.

The Union Budget includes several general service items that are essential to the efficient management of the

Union as a whole. These expenses are assessed to the Activity Fee using the UG/GR Split, as they are for the

benefit of the student body as a whole. The Union Administration Office and Services budget, Union Facilities

budgets, and the Legal Services budget make up the general infrastructure that makes it possible for all

students to gain access to the many opportunities of the Union. This includes everything from making

photocopies to accessing legal advice and assistance from Union-endorsed practitioners.

Service Clubs are those classified as service-oriented, student

government, or performing arts. These clubs are covered in

Appendix C. Whereas General Clubs are funded based on actual

numbers of students who participate in them as members, Service

Clubs are funded by the enrollment split.

These organizations provide numerous services to the RPI

community, including television filming and production (RPI TV),

ambulance and EMT (RPI Ambulance), and a general student

newspaper (The Polytechnic). On the performing arts side, there

are music (symphonic, jazz, orchestral), theater, a capella, and

improv comedy groups. The Union Programs and Activities

Committee (UPAC) groups also provide sound and light services

and host comedy programs, concerts, movies, and summer events.

The Service Clubs subsidy for FY ‘13 was $414,384.59; thus

funding decreased by 11.14% from FY ‘12 to FY ‘13.

See Appendix C for service club

information. In FY ‘13, there are

37 service clubs.

Since Men’s Ice Hockey is considered a spectator sport, it is similar to the

Union’s Service Clubs. Accordingly, overhead costs associated with Men’s

Ice Hockey are distributed using the UG / GR split, while the overhead cost of

other ICA sports are distributed based on undergrad and grad participation in

them.

The Men’s Ice Hockey expense distribution does include part of the ICA

General budget, which contains non-salary operating costs, sports

information, and training room expenditures, the Sports Information budget,

the Strength and Conditioning Budget, and the Training Room Budget. This

is formally known as the General Overhead and totals $219,200.00 for FY’13.

The distribution of the General Overhead Budget of $219,200.00 to the ICA

sports is based on a total of 630 travel team athletes across all sports,

making the cost per ICA athlete $347.94. There are 27 ICA athletes in Men’s

Ice Hockey, and thus the overhead budget is $9,394.38. This overhead

expense is added to the net expense of the Men’s Ice Hockey Operating

Budget ($380,800.00) to get a total cost of $390,194.38 which is then split by

the UG / GR ratio.

This expense contribution is based on the UG / GR split and

includes all administrative expenses for every intramural sport

offered at RPI besides Intramural Ice Hockey. Intramurals are only

within the scope of the Institute and do not involve schools outside

of RPI. Many Union organizations, fraternities, sororities, and other

organizations organize intramural teams.

The Games Area includes pool tables, arcade and video games,

and ping-pong. Years ago, a decision was made to fund the Games

Area as a service function. The Games Area is no longer expected

to return a net profit to the Union, and has therefore been

reclassified as an Expense Item in FY ’13. Observation shows that

the use of the Games Area is by primarily undergraduates and

should be distributed based on the UG / GR split (82.6 % UG / 17.4

% GR). The Games Area has projected net expenses of $9,990.00,

which will be split according to the ratio above.

Total Subsidy: $9,990.00

UG: $8,251.74

GR: $1,738.26

EXPENSE ACTIVITIES BY PARTICIPATION

These particular expenses are accrued to undergraduates and graduates based on the participation of their

respective student communities in each set of activities. For example, if there are two graduate students

participating in ICA soccer, the total expense accrued to graduate students will be multiplied by a factor of two.

Except for Men’s Ice Hockey, the distribution of costs related to

Intercollegiate Athletics is differentiated between the varying levels

of participation in each activity.

The Men’s Ice Hockey expense distribution does include part of the

ICA General budget, which contains non-salary operating costs,

sports information, and training room expenditures. The distribution

of the General Overhead Budget of $219,200.00 to the ICA sports is

based on a total of 630 travel team athletes across all sports,

making the cost per ICA athlete $347.94.

For each sport not having graduate student athletes, the overhead

cost is added to the general budget for that sport and then

distributed in its entirety as an undergraduate expense. There are

no graduate ICA athletes this year, and so all non-Men’s Ice Hockey

expenses under ICA Athletics are considered undergraduate

expenses.

Intramural Ice Hockey has Graduate participants estimated at 3%.

General Clubs are those not classified as service-oriented, student

government, or performing arts. Overall, General Clubs are funded

based on actual numbers of students who participate in them as

members, rather than by the enrollment split.

The General Clubs subsidy is developed by dividing the total

number of undergraduate and graduate participants by the total

number of students participating in these programs. This year, there

were 3500 UG and 489 GR for a total of 3989 students. This works

out to 87.7% undergraduate participation, and 12.3% graduate

participation. The total subsidy approved for these organizations

are then divided according to this ratio.

The General Clubs subsidy for FY ’13 was $213,374.38; thus

funding decreased by 5.20% from FY ‘12 to FY ‘13.

The Archer Center for Student Leadership Development provides

extracurricular programming for student leadership, team-building

and dynamics, and enrichment. The Archer Center was re-

categorized as a General activity for the 2001 - 2002 fiscal year and

continues this classification for FY ‘13.

Archer Center staff members also administer academic courses,

such as Professional Development (PD) I and III. Funding provided

through the Union does not cover salaries for Archer Center staff.

A review of attendees reveals that the AC SLD’s extracurricular

programming is used by approximately 97% by undergraduates and

3% by graduate students.

INCOME ACTIVITIES BY ENROLLMENT SPLIT

Income activities may incur expenses, but are chiefly characterized by the fact that they bring in more income

than they require to be spent. An exception is the Games Area, which is classified as a service function of the

Union despite returning a “negative” income on the Budget Sheet. These particular expenses are distributed

to offset undergraduate and graduate expenses simply by applying the UG/GR split (82.6 % UG / 17.4 % GR)

that is presented on Page 8.

Father’s Marketplace offers snacks, drinks, and common

convenience store fair to students throughout the entire calendar

year. Each year, it contributes a portion of its net income back to

the Union as contracted through Sodexo. In FY ’13, it will yield

$85,338.60, which will be split by the enrollment ratio. Therefore,

undergraduates will receive $70,489.68 and graduates $14,848.92.

The Food Services budget incorporates a percentage of profit

Chester’s Chicken, as contracted through Sodexo. These profits will

$52,470.44 in income, yielding $43,340.58 for undergraduates and

$9,129.86 for graduate students.

The Union building also includes a variety of businesses that are not

operated by Union employees. This budget accounts for the

Campus Unisex barber shop, Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream, and SEFCU.

The $74,488.00 projected in income from this year results from

rental income and sales commissions. This income is distributed by

the UG / GR split (82.6 % UG / 17.4 % GR), which is $61,527.09 for

undergraduates and $12,960.91 for graduate students.

Net PROFIT of $74,488.00

UG: $59,192.26

INCOME ACTIVITIES BY PARTICIPATION

These income activities are split between undergraduate and graduate expense offsets based on estimated

participation of each community in them.

BO O KST O R E CO NT RI BU T I O N

The Union Bookstore contributes approximately 62% of the Union’s

total income. For FY ‘13, the Bookstore contribution is projected to

be $341,456.00.

The Bookstore budget for 2012-2013 calls for a decrease in

textbook sales, because of several factors such as increased

sharing of books, higher sales of used texts, and lower expectation

for enrollment. Projected new book sales totaling $2,377,611.00 are

based on the number of student credit hours:

Undergraduate Graduate

Fall Credit Hours 85,575 14,302

Spring Credit Hours 82,262 13,505

Summer Credit Hours 2,296 333

Special Credit Hours 1,717 325

Credit Hour Total = 200,315 171,850 28,465

Credit Hour Percentage Attributed to Students 85.8% 14.2%

Book Sales x Credit Hour Percentage $2,039,990.24 $337,620.76

New Textbook Sales Based on Undergraduate and Graduate Credit Hours

The store is not reliant on the sales of texts as a profit center.

Therefore, the decrease in text sales effect on the contribution of the

store to the Rensselaer Union is mitigated. Projected other sales,

totaling $1,212,456.00, will be allocated using the UG/GR split (82.6

% UG / 17.4 % GR).

These profits must be combined for each respective group and used

to calculate the percentage of total Bookstore sales attributed to

undergraduates and graduates. Finally, these percentages are

used in the distribution of net income of Bookstore income.

The Bookstore has continued to take steps to allow it to contribute

increased funds to the Rensselaer Union to offset the net budgetary

expenses. These measures include:

Duties are reassigned to existing staff members when

retirements occur.

Strict review of all discretionary spending (travel,

equipment).

Negotiations for decreased shipping expenses by aligning

with other stores in group talks with shipping companies.

Continued exploration of new lines of merchandise and new

vendors that allow for growth in sales of non-textbook

merchandise.

These actions have decreased net expenses, resulting in a net

income increase.

What are some of the “roadblocks” the Executive Board runs into with budgeting and how are they overcome?

When the Executive Board faces “roadblocks”, the Board addresses the following questions:

Who is this program for? Will only the club members benefit or will it be open to the RPI community?

How many students are in the club? Is the money allocated to the club a fair amount when compared

to the number of people in the club?

Are we treating similar clubs in the same fashion?

What do the Union Executive Board Representative and Student Activities Resource Person of the

club have to say about the program in question?

Why do we have a Union budget?

The Rensselaer Union provides immeasurable benefits for all students of Rensselaer to take advantage of the Union’s

opportunities and services. The money attributed to the Activity Fee makes it possible to create co-curricular

opportunities and programs that would otherwise be unavailable and/or cost-prohibitive to the average student. The Activity

Fee contributes approximately ¾ of the discretionary income that allows for all the services, events, and the continual

support of student clubs and activities each year.

Why do we have an Activity Fee?

The philosophy behind the construction of the present “Activity Fee” was adopted in March of 1985 by the Student

Senate. Rather than impose fees evenly across the board for all services to undergraduates and graduate students, the

Senate concluded that the fairest way to compute what students should pay as their Activity Fee was to assess equal

charges to the students for the basic infrastructure and service programs that the Union provides. However, some services

were charged based on participation because they were not services for the whole population, but for clubs that primarily

provide programs for their participants only. A good example is Division 3 intercollegiate Athletics (ICA) where almost all

graduate students are ineligible to play. This year there are over 600 undergrads playing and only one grad

student. Therefore most of the ICA expense is supported by undergrads.

Why is the hockey budget significantly higher than other ICA Athletic budgets?

The Hockey budget actually is not that high when compared to other Division 1 hockey teams in the league. Our Division 1

teams are in the lower half of the Division 1 hockey budgets, and Division 1 programs are inherently more expensive to

operate than Division 3 Athletic Programs. Next year’s men’s budget decreased slightly from this year. Almost $130,000 of

the budget pays for Ice Rental from the Houston Field House for practice and games.

Why do we fund ICA Athletics?

The Union started funding Intercollegiate Athletics and athletic facilities in 1890. Students at that time hired the first athletic

coach at RPI. The ’87 Gym was funded by student fees as well. The Union subsidizes ICA Athletics because it gives the

students the opportunity to influence the growth of the varsity programs to a certain extent. By funding ICA Athletics,

students avoid paying a required fee for Athletics, and the programs can be sufficiently maintained through evaluation of

necessary needs by a combination of the Union Administrative Staff, the Department of Athletics, and the Union Executive

Board. The Union does not subsidize the entirety of the Athletics Program every year. In fact, the Union only subsidizes the

majority of the yearly operational costs for each varsity team. The Institute picks up the larger portion of the long term

expenses by paying for jerseys, the salaries of the head coaches and athletic administration, and the upkeep of the sports

facilities such as the AS&RC (The Armory), the '87 Gym, and the East Campus Athletic Village. Almost all sports are

charged to undergrads because they are the primary participants. This year the expense for one graduate student on one

varsity team is charged back to graduate students in the determination of the activity fee. The only sport charged back

based on the undergraduate/graduate ratio is Men’s Ice Hockey because it is considered a spectator sport.


What expenses are included in the General Athletic budget?

This budget includes a multitude of expenses that apply to the general operation of the Athletics department; the budget

includes referee assignment fees, office supplies, pool operating supplies, department mailings, laundry supplies, staff

trainings, repair of equipment, cell phones, copiers leases, vehicle leases, league dues, travel and land line phones.

What are the legal services? And are students allowed to use them?

The legal services are available, free, for any Activity Fee paying student of Rensselaer. The purpose of the Student Legal

Service is to assist students in identifying and resolving their legal problems so they can make the most of their educational

opportunities. If a legal problem threatens to interfere with any participant's effectiveness as a student, the service is

designed to help resolve or minimize such problems. If the type or complexity of any particular problem exceeds the scope

or capabilities of the program, additional services may be arranged at the student's expense through attorneys in the

community. The aim is to provide the most comprehensive services possible at the most economical cost.

Why is the typical out-of-pocket expense of a Club athlete? What about a Varsity athlete?

Please see the table on out-of-pocket expenses for club athletes in Appendix E for a breakdown of costs that a typical Club

athlete pays during a season of play. The cost a Varsity athlete pay out-of-pocket varies with the programs. Some athletes

pay minimal out of pocket while others can pay up to $1,000. Equipment is a big part of these expenses.

What are Club Contingencies and Club Travel Contingencies and what are they used for?

Club Contingencies is money set aside for the year that is available for unforeseen club expenses in the coming year. They

are used to fund new programs for existing clubs, new clubs and emergency situations. In addition, every year clubs

request funds for tournament travel. Rather than give them all of the money in their budget (since attendance of the

tournament is based on winning the qualifiers), the Executive Board sets aside approximately 50 % of that request in Club

Travel Contingencies. Any unused funds for either contingency fund is deposited in Union Reserves to ultimately fund

large projects that would be inappropriate to fund out of one year’s operating budget.

What is the Debt Service?

The Debt Service represents the mortgage that students are paying for the renovation of the building completed in 2000.

This year is the 12th year out of the 25-year mortgage of $3,500,000. The total cost of the renovation was close to

$11,000,000 with $2,000,000 fund-raised as seen on the plaques in the McNeil Room, and the Institute providing the

additional $5,500,000.

What is included in the Union General, Student Activities and Services budget?

This budget represents most expenses from the Union Administration Office, including staff and student-staff salaries,

information materials and office supplies, copying services, computer/server equipment, and the Clubhouse Pub liquor

license expense. Student Activities also supported by this budget included art in the Shelnutt Gallery, the Clothe-A-Child

campaign, Fall Lake George Administrative Support, and support for the International/Cultural clubs.
