The Student Government 2009-10 executive branch budget, which was passed through the senate May 19, still awaits the decision of Vice President of Student Affairs Jennifer Meningall.

Director of Intergovernmental Affairs Khalid Hassouneh told the Oracle on June 17 that Meningall had until June 19 to come to a decision on the budget.

Meningall’s secretary, Ann Deen, said the deadline was June 24. Meningall was unavailable for comment.

On Monday, Deen said Meningall was in Washington, D.C. on a conference trip and had the budget with her for review. Deen said she does not know when Meningall will make a decision.

SG Executive Press Secretary Michael LeBlanc said the executive branch has not received any information regarding Meningall’s decision.

If Meningall approves the budget, it will go into effect immediately. If she vetoes the budget, it would return to the executive branch for amendment, then need to be passed through the senate again.

"Don't worry about it" certainly has credibility to criticize a student journalist with premier spelling. Waist? Laugh.

How about the fact that the exec budget IS part of the "waist" (it's waste, by the way) at USF? It's problem and it needs to be solved. These people are the ones we elected to represent the students and instead they are abusing their power by playing shady politics.

I just can't believe that usf administrators are still continuing to fly across the country for so-called "conference" while classes are being cut, staff laid off and students denied the services they pay for.
don't worry about it

This oracle correspondent needs to get a life and get her facts straight. There are much bigger things and waist going on at USF than the executive branch budget. Maybe she should look at the payroll for Dr. Menningall's support staff
