Every year, student government decides the amount of money to afford CU’s cost centers, or on-campus departments. The first department to make its case on Wednesday was Radio 1190, Boulder’s student-run station. Director Mikey Goldenberg and the entire managing staff pled their case to various campus representatives, multiple of whom had proposed days prior to cut funding to the program.

After making their appeal and hearing support from a few, outspoken representatives and Aslinn Scott, who was sitting in as a proxy for Rep. Juliette Bourdier, Radio 1190 was allotted $137,204. It is a $248 increase from the $136,956 they received last year.

The station submitted a formal request in February for the amount they eventually received alongside a request for reorganizational costs of $12,752, which was denied.

Student government representatives did not attempt to defund any other department in the budget hearings.
