The Student Services Finance Committee approved a budget for Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment Monday.
According to the organization’s website, PAVE’s mission is to end all forms of sexual violence and end violence before it occurs.
SSFC made minor changes to the group’s budget, which included a correction to an accounting error PAVE Chair Alyssa Jarocki brought to the committee’s attention at the beginning of the meeting.
PAVE’s budget of $80,396.20 was approved 9-0-1.
SSFC also heard Badger Catholic’s budget.
Badger Catholic President Sean McNally said the key points of the organization’s mission are “to inspire greater discussion about faith and help students explore their faith through peer mentorship and service.”
According to McNally, the organization’s requested budget of $95,755.80 is a 5.15 percent decrease from the 2012-‘13 budget.
The organization decreased its budget because it has found more efficient ways of providing its services, including a transition to offering some online, which McNally said is one of the most effective ways to reach a large campus.
McNally said the organization requested funding for one less pastoral intern than last year, saying an intern unexpectedly stepped down last year and the organization wants to “effectively prevent” another resignation.
The organization “completely overhauled” their human resource procedures because there were many structural issues last year, according to McNally. He said the new procedures have been very effective and believes Badger Catholic now has the best staff it has had in a long time.
SSFC will decide on Badger Catholic’s budget Thursday.
