Yay! Fun!
Come on, somebody sue. There are serious equal protection issues raised here. Apparently, Greek organizations can get money from both the Greek Philanthropy Fund and the Senate Contingency Fund. But since this sorority discriminates based on sex, funding it through the contingency fund is illegal. Not that that stops ASUC folks. Consider the defense:
"I believe this group should receive (more funding) because of their programs and because they are serving the Cal community as a whole," CalSERVE Senator Carolina Jauregui said. "I think we need to again reconsider what groups we are funding, who we are funding, and whether that is fair." Note that there is no nod in the general direction of the legal issues. The only issue for these folks is "but I wanted to!"
