The Student Incidental Fees Committee met for the second time last night to continue the assessment of the student organization budgets that are paid for by student fees.
Student Athletics was the first board that presented their budget.
The athletics department works to provide the lowest cost of tickets for students.
Due to the constant increase of seasonal tickets, the athletics department proposed a small two percent increase for their budget, as well as another option with no increase.
SIFC decided to approve the budget without an increase in fees in order to help students.
The Student Sustainability Initiative also presented their proposed budget with a focus on getting students organized and more engaged in renewable-energy programs.
After much discussion regarding the SSI allocation of fees, the SSI budget was also approved, which also did not include any increase in student fees.
The final budget presentation was by ASOSU.
Unlike other budgets, the ASOSU budget includes a 0.54 percent decrease due to the removal of the Beaver Bus program.
"It's become disproportionately subsidized by the students as a part of the ASOSU budget," said ASOSU President Ryan Mann.
The Beaver Bus program is proposed to be included in the Corvallis Transit System budget, so that ASOSU can focus on more projects to help students.
The ASOSU budget was also approved by SIFC concluding the meeting.
