Section 1. Services and Activities Fees<\/strong>
a) Services and Activities Fees (SAF) are defined in RCW 28B.15.041 to mean \u201cfees,
other than tuition fees, charged to all students registering at the state universities.
The legislature also recognizes that Services and Activities Fees are paid by
students for the express purpose of funding student activities and programs\u201d of
their particular institution.
b) \u201cIt is the intent of the legislature that the governing boards ensure that students
have a strong voice in recommending budgets for Services and Activities Fees\u201d
(RCW 28B.15.045), and that Services and Activities Fees expenditures for programs
devoted to political or economic philosophies shall result in the presentation of a
spectrum of ideas (RCW 28.15.044).
c) The level of the Services and Activities Fees is recommended by the Services and
Activities Fee Committee pursuant to RCW 28B.15.045 and approved by the Office
of the Chancellor and authorized by the Board of Regents. Increases in the fee are
subject to limitations set by the state legislature.
d) The Board of Regents shall adhere to the principle that the desires of the Services
and Activities Fee Committee be given priority consideration for funding items that
do not fall into the categories of pre-existing contractual obligations, bond covenant
agreements, or stability of programs affecting students (RCW 28B.15.045(2)).
Expenditures of Services and Activities Fees, however, are permitted for the
construction, equipping, and betterment of buildings and facilities for student
activities and services (RCW 28B.10.300).
e) The Services and Activities Fee long-term fund shall consist of all unallocated
revenue (refer to sections 9 and 10) derived from the collection of Services and
Activities Fees and accrued interest.
f) Services and Activities Fees and revenues generated by programs and activities
funded by such fees shall be deposited and expended through the Office
Enrollment Management & Student Affairs and will be reduced, unless otherwise
stipulated by the Services & Activities Fee Committee, from the allocation awarded
for that program or activity. The expenditure of Services and Activities Fees and
associated revenues are subject to all applicable University policies, regulations,
and procedures and to the Budget and Accounting Act of the State of Washington
(RCW 43.88).
g) In addition to the regulations governing the use of Services and Activities Fees,
provisions of the State Constitution prohibit the use of public funds (Services and
Activities Fees are considered public funds) with regard to making gifts or loans of
money or property.
h) With the exception of any funds needed for bond covenant obligations, once the
budget for expending Service and Activities Fees is approved by the Board of
Regents, funds shall not be shifted from funds allocated by the Services and
Activities Fee Committee until the administration provides written justification to
the Committee and the Regents, and the Regents and the Committee give their
express approval. In the event of a fund-transfer dispute among the Committee, the
administration, or the Regents, said dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 6
of these Guidelines RCW 28B.15.045 (12).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Section 2. Committee Membership<\/strong>
a) The Services and Activities Fee Committee is responsible for making
recommendations on the annual allocation of the Services and Activities Fee, ARC
Programming Fee, and Sports Field Fee as well as making recommendations on any
changes to the amount of these student fees.
b) The intent of this Committee is to be comprised of at least seven (7) and no more
than nine (9) voting members who are currently matriculated students at UW
Bothell and not elected or appointed officers of the ASUWB government (with the
exception the appointed ASUWB member as written in section 2 subsection D).
c) Ex-officio, non-voting members of the Committee should include
representative(s)from Planning and Administration and\/or representatives from the
Division of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs. In consultation with the
SAF Committee members, the Chair of the Committee, with approval of the
Chancellor, may appoint any other ex-officio member. The role of the ex-officio
member(s) is to provide information and orientation, background materials, and
general support and guidance to the Committee.
d) Voting members will generally serve one term, and each term is for a period of one
year (from July 1 to June 30). A voting member may be reappointed for a second and
third term, and up to two members may be allowed to serve for a fourth term; such
reappointments are subject to the procedures described in Section 2.D. Majority of
voting members should be selected before June 1st while leaving two open spots
for incoming fall quarter students. The Committee may replace any of its voting
members only for reasons spelled out in these Guidelines and Operating
Procedures. Members who resign during their term(s) will submit a written
resignation to the Committee Chair. Vacancies will be replaced in the same manner
as provided for new appointments and for the unexpired term of the original
appointment. Should the Chair of the Committee resign from the committee, they
will provide written notice to the Ex-Officio Members as well as the Vice Chair of the
committee.
e) ASUWB and the Division of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs are
responsible for recruiting potential members, following an application process.
ASUWB confirms members of the Services and Activities Fee Committee. The
ASUWB president shall appoint, in accordance with ASUWB bylaws, a member of
ASUWB to serve as one of the voting members. The Chancellor makes the final
appointment for all members sans the ASUWB representative.
f) The chairperson of the Services and Activities Fee Committee shall be selected by
the members of that Committee (RCW 28B.15.045 (3)) by the third business
meeting. The composition of the committee would be comprised of:

agendas, and serve as a liaison to the broader University community where
appropriate. It is ideal that the Chair attends regular meetings as set by the
Chair with the Services and Activities Fee Committee Advisor.
ii) Vice Chair: Fulfill the duties of the Chairperson in the event of absence,
resignations, or forfeiture of the SAF Chair and other duties assigned.
Recommended that the Vice Chair attends regular meetings as set by the Chair
with the Services and Activities Fee Committee Advisor. Responsible for
documenting weekly minutes and publishing to the SAF website. Sharing drafts
of minutes for SAF preview prior to the SAF meeting. Should the Vice Chair
resign, at the next business meeting, the Committee shall select a new Vice
Chair.
iii) The Chair and Vice Chair share responsibility to facilitate communication
between students, faculty, and staff within the UW Bothell campus community.
g) Voting members are expected to attend all meetings unless excused in advance by
the Chair, develop and maintain effective communication within the Committee
and across the campus community, demonstrate a willingness to engage in
constructive dialogue on any issue being considered by the Committee, actively
participate in the deliberations of the Committee, and adhere to the rules and
regulations governing the Committee. Members may request the resignation of a
particular member if absences or conduct are deemed detrimental to the work of
the Committee. A request for removing a member from the Committee requires a
majority vote by all voting members of the Committee, except for the party whose
resignation is being requested, and concurrence by the Chancellor. A member shall
be automatically removed for three or more unexcused absences in a given
academic quarter, unless the SAF Committee votes in majority otherwise.
Unexcused absences will be evaluated by the Chair on a case-by-case basis.
h) Minutes shall be taken at all meetings of the Committee and shall be publicly
posted no later than five business days after the meeting minutes are approved.
Said minutes shall include the results of every action item taken by the Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Section 3. Committee Meetings<\/strong>

members of the campus community to prepare their requests.
ii) Any member of the University of Washington Bothell campus community may
submit a request for annual funding.
iii) The intent of the annual operating budget is to support ongoing student
activities, services, and programs. It is the intent that the funds deemed \u201clongterm\u201d
shall be used to purchase capital (non-recurring) equipment, fixtures and
furnishings, lease and\/or bond obligations, and other related expenditures.
iv) All proposals for annual funding must contain adequate information about how
a program will serve currently enrolled UWB students as well as a detailed
breakdown of proposed expenditures and anticipated revenues.

individuals requested to be in attendance.
vii) The Committee shall organize and publicize at least one open forum on its
proposed annual funding allocations at least 8-business days prior to adopting a
final budget.
viii) The Chancellor may meet with the Committee at appropriate intervals in its
budget formation process to respond to emergent ideas and issues and to
apprise it of the general position of the Regents. The Chancellor may respond in
writing to specific written proposals submitted by the Committee and take other
actions as needed to ensure that the lines of communication to the Committee
remain open. The Chancellor may delegate these duties to another senior
administrator.
ix) The Committee shall send its final recommendations for an annual operating
budget and long-term capital expenditures along with supporting
documentation to the Chancellor at least 4 weeks before the Board of Regents
meeting where student fee decisions are being heard, each year. Within 18
business days after receiving the Committee\u2019s annual budget
recommendations, the Chancellor will provide a written response to the
Committee. In the event the Chancellor disagrees with any of the Committee\u2019s
recommendations, the dispute resolution process described in Section 7 will be
invoked.
x) At the time the Chancellor submits his or her proposed budget
recommendations to the Board of Regents for the expenditure of services and
activities fees, he or she shall also submit a copy of the Committee\u2019s
recommendations and supporting documents along with any response from the
administration.
xi) Members of the Service and Activities Fee Committee shall have an opportunity
to address the Board of Regents before the Regent\u2019s decisions on Services and
Activities Fee budgets and dispute resolution actions are made (RCW
28B.15.045 (1)).
xii) If, during the year, there are unanticipated non-recurring expenses, and if there
are sufficient long-term funds to not only fund the expenditures but also other
long-term commitments, the Committee can request that the necessary funds
be transferred from the long-term account to the current operating account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Section 5. Guidelines for Funding<\/strong>
a) Operating expenditures may be proposed in support of bona fide school-related,
student led, co-curricular or extracurricular functions, activities, or programs

v) Promotional Items are designed to promote any student organization, group, or
funded project or service and are limited to a total value of $800 per year unless
expressly stated otherwise by the Services and Activities Fee Committee at the
time of allocation. Food and publicity (for specific events) are not considered a

individuals or groups. State law also prohibits contributions of Services and
Activities Fees or property to a political candidate or cause in connection with any
local, state, or federal election.
c) Services and Activities Fees shall not be used as fundraising contributions;
matching funds for fundraising purposes; or for any expenses related to a meeting,
event, or activities of which the principal purpose is fundraising.
d) When making allocations, the Committee may place stipulations on the use of
funds or recommend guidelines in the operations of a program, or both. The
approved budget and stipulations, not the original request, shall be binding on the
program.
e) Any program may move up to 5% of their annual budget between line items at the
discretion of the Division of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs. Other
changes to the approved budget and amounts above 5% require approval of the
Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Section 6. General Criteria for Evaluating Funding Requests<\/strong>
a) Requests for funding are evaluated by:
i) The degree to which the request supports a UWB student program or activity or
provides a direct service that is of general interest to currently enrolled UWB
students;
ii) How well the proposed program, activity, or service is conceived and organized;
iii) If previously funded, its track record for success;
iv) The likelihood of collaboration opportunities and co-partnerships with other
sources or the probability that alternative funding (full or partial) is available
from another source (e.g. permanent structures receiving university dollars);
v) The number and diversity of currently enrolled UWB students likely to benefit
from the program, activity, or service in proportion to the level of proposed
funding; and
vi) All other criteria approved in advance by the Committee and the Chancellor or
his or her designate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Section 7. Budget Disputes<\/strong>
a) The Chancellor or their designee shall respond to the Committee recommendations
in writing, outlining areas of agreement and potential areas of disagreement,
allowing reasonable time for response, and clearly setting forth the next step in the
review process. In the event of a dispute(s) involving the Committee
recommendations, the administration shall meet with the Committee in a good
faith effort to resolve such dispute(s) prior to submission of final recommendations
to the Board of Regents (RCW 28B.15.045(5)).
b) If the dispute is not resolved within fourteen calendar days, a dispute resolution
committee shall be convened by the Chair of the Committee within fourteen
calendar days (RCW 28B.15.045(6b)).
c) The dispute resolution committee shall be selected as follows: The administration
shall appoint two nonvoting advisory members; the Board of Regents shall appoint
three voting members; and the Committee Chairperson shall appoint three student
members of the Committee who will have a vote, and one student representing the
Committee who will Chair the dispute resolution committee and be nonvoting
except in the case of a tie vote. The dispute resolution committee shall meet in good
faith and settle by vote any and all disputes. (RCW 28B.15.045(7)).
d) The Board of Regents may take action on those portions of the Services and
Activities Fees budget not in dispute and shall consider the results, if any, of the
dispute resolution committee and shall take action (RCW 28B.15.045(8)).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Section 8. Review of Budget Allocations<\/strong>
a) The Committee may choose to review the status of the current Annual Budget at any
time during the year. The purpose of these reviews is to assess the status of awards
and to have current budget information available for reference during future funding
cycles.
b) The Committee may choose to conduct discretionary reviews of funded programs
at any time during the year. Recipients of funding may be asked to provide the
committee with spending records and projections inclusive of, but not limited to
budget request forms, receipts, and food request forms.
c) If the review finds that a program or organization is not spending in alignment with
its allocation, is not in accordance with these Guidelines and Operating
Procedures, or is failing to report information as stated in Section B, the Committee
may freeze the remaining unexpended portion of that program or organization\u2019s
budget. Until the freeze is removed, no further expenditures may be incurred
against the budget. A freeze may remain in effect until the Committee is satisfied
with the program\u2019s progress. Therefore, it is in the best interest of all organizations
funded by the Services and Activities Fee to keep up to date records of their
expenditures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Section 9. Long-Term Fund<\/strong>
a) The Long Term Fund will maintain 30% of the projected annual Services and
Activities Fee revenue and any additional funds designated for future projects or
expenditures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

academic year.
b) A sufficient portion of the excess funds must be returned to the Long Term Fund to
restore it to the 30% minimum annual projection should it fall below that level.
c) Additional excess funds collected over the course of the academic year may be
allocated in the annual process in the following academic year at the discretion of
the Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Section 11. Budget Spending and Reconciliation<\/strong>
a) Groups receiving SAF funds are responsible for following all guidelines, procedures
and reconciliation of funds as set forth by the SAF Committee, Division of
Enrollment Management and Student Affairs, and University policy and procedures.
Section 12. Committee Operations
a) 0.25% of the SAF annual budget will be withheld for operational costs of the
committee. Operational costs include printing, supplies, marketing, and
compensation for the voting members.
