The quality of student life at Wesleyan this year has been excellent by anyone’s standards.
In his days at Wesleyan, Matt Ball ’08 was widely known around campus for his involvement in the Wesleyan Student Assembly (WSA), serving first in the Student Budget Committee (SBC) then as WSA president during his senior year. Recently, however, Ball decided to leave the meetings and paperwork behind in favor of a more adventurous vocation: the military.
Recently the Argus published an article that addressed the practices of the Student Budget Committee (SBC) (“SBC tightens funding for student activities,” Feb. 19, vol. CXLIII, no. 30). I have taken issue with the article because it presented an incomplete and thus unfair depiction of the SBC. By relying on choice statistics and lacking proper analysis, the article wrongly presented the SBC as more stingy despite having a larger budget.
