 Cornell won’t say how much money was given to fake student organizations

University officials silent after duplicate organizations siphon off funding

Following a scandal in which duplicate student organizations were revealed to be siphoning off money from the Student Assembly’s budget, Cornell University is refusing to say how much money the fraudulent student organizations managed to secure.

A “loophole” in the rules governing the Student Assembly’s Student Activities Funding Commission allowed students at Cornell to create duplicate shell organizations to get around funding limits imposed by the Commission. “Thirty to 40 percent of the student organizations requesting SAFC funding” may have been fraudulent, according to a report from The Cornell Daily Sun.
