ASUCD Business Manager Janice Corbett gave a presentation on the budget for this year. Sixteen out of 24 units currently have some type of reserve. There is currently $495,453 in reserves. Nineteen units under ASUCD use the account.

“I want a member of the legislative branch in on every single conversation about the budget,” Thomas said.
