SUFAC

What is SUFAC?

A portion of the total fees that University of Wisconsin System students pay is designated for the operation of various student services and organizations. These designated fees are called Segregated University Fees or SUF. The primary responsibility for the allocation of those fees (which constitute substantial support for campus student activities) is provided to students in consultation with the chancellor and is subject to the final confirmation by the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System. This primary responsibility has been delegated to the Segregated University Fee Allocation Committee, or SUFAC.

SUFAC is made up of nine students and two ex-officio members. The nine students are broken down into the following: four students from the Deans Advisory Councils (one from each), two students from the Residence Hall Association, and three students from Whitewater Student Government.

Who Qualifies for SUFAC Funds?

Only student organizations which meet the institutional qualifications for official recognition, and are so recognized, and University departments may receive SUF support.

The following organizations may not be funded by Segregated Fees:

• Those that restrict membership, including but not limited to the following ways:
1. Academic status
2. Major and/or minor
3. Sex, race, religion, color, creed, national heritage, age, marital status, sexual preference, income level or source and handicap
• Social fraternities or sororities
• Honorary, professional, or academic-related organizations

Organizations that are not funded by SUFAC may apply for Segregated Fees for a specific program provided said program benefits the entire student body.
