• • Initial recs: largest fee hike in recent years 
Cody Nelson, Minnesota Daily (U of MN, Minneapolis) Despite the overall increase, eight groups that previously received student services fees were denied funding for 2013-14. [....] The Ayn Rand Study Group, which received $12,100 from the SSFC last year, [...] was recommended to get none of its requested $32,700. Vincent Brinker, an officer for the group, said he believes there has been a change to “promote more liberal groups on campus” in recent years. “Groups that are conservative by nature or are not favorable by liberal ideals or socialist ideals are usually kind of hit hard,” he said. “I think the Ayn Rand group was one of those.”   Published: 2013-02-26
