On Monday, CSUN’s Associated Students voted unanimously to approve the allocation of $30,000 to sponsor the investiture of CSUN President Erika D. Beck.

The AS agreed to allocate money from their end-of-year excess funds to sponsor the investiture, which is scheduled to take place on March 14.

An investiture is when someone receives a ceremony for achieving a high position of office. The AS will match an already sponsored $30,000, bringing the total to $60,000.

Motions Approved

AS President Jonathan Hay and the staff also voted unanimously to allocate $26,000 from their budget to the Parent Scholarship Endowment, which will aim to help student parents.

The senate approved the appointments of Archana Ravi as the senator for the college of engineering and computer science, and Samantha Hines as a clubs and organizations committee member.

A motion was passed by the senate to approve the constitutions for the CSUN Students Supporting Israel club and the Soon Movement Global club.
