Collegians for a Constructive Tomorrow made its second eligibility appeal before the Student Services Finance Committee Thursday.
CFACT is a non-profit student group ""with a different viewpoint from any other group on campus,"" said Vice President Dominik Ellena, referring to the group's relatively conservative standpoint on environmental issues.
The SSFC denied CFACT eligibility last semester, but recently lost an appeal against the group before the Student Judiciary. The Student Judiciary rejected SSFC's claim that CFACT deliberately violated policy by failing to return Associated Students of Madison equipment.
SSFC representatives asked CFACT members Thursday about an e-mail submitted in evidence that SSFC said proved the group's deliberate violation. Members also questioned the flexibility of the group's direct services and time spent on these services.
""Frankly, I have a hard time seeing how these numbers are accurate,"" said Rep. Cale Plamann, adding the breakdown of time spent on administration, campaigns, elections and other services didn't add up.
The committee requested CFACT bring a detailed breakdown of services Monday, at which time SSFC will vote whether to grant the group eligibility.
SSFC Chair Matt Manes said SSFC must also decide how to proceed with the ""unprecedented situation"" of the ongoing eligibility appeal process with the Wisconsin Public Interest Research Group.
""We're not in a good position, and we just have to deal with it,"" Manes said.
