GSS,
Attached is information regarding recent funding denials for Sexual Empowerment
and Awareness at TN (SEAT), the student organization that coordinates each year's
Sex Week events.
One attachment includes SEAT's appeal to the Student Program Allocation
Committee. In brief, SEAT had a significant amount of its funding denied,
specifically for all events concerning LGBTQ+ individuals and sexuality relating to
non-Christian religions and non-Western cultures. Also unfunded was the annual
Drag Show, which draws the largest attendance of any Sex Week event and serves
as a fundraiser for future SEAT events. The second attachment is the response
from Vice Chancellor Carilli.
I hope you will take a look at these documents, because I'd like to discuss this
issue at the next GSS meeting.
Thanks,
Jess
