ASI granted $4,000 in the form of Maidu Grants to two organizations at the board meeting Wednesday. The Panhellenic Council will use its $4,000 grant to fund Greek Week activities next semester, and Competitive Robotics at Sac State will use its grant to hold a robotics competition.

New outdoor fixtures could provide Sacramento State with no-cost “student gathering spots” such as bus shelters, benches, campus maps or directional maps, if ASI decides to move forward with a proposal made Wednesday by Lisa Hall, director of project and resource development with University Enterprises Inc.

The provider of these signs, a separate marketing company, would sell advertising space on the newly provided fixtures.

University Enterprises Inc. is currently negotiating with the marketing company, but Hall said it would not move forward in the negotiations without ASI’s approval.

“(This agreement) needs to be student-led and student-endorsed,” Hall said.

Sac State would receive a portion of the advertising revenue from these fixtures, and Hall said current negotiations placed the figure between 10 and 15 percent. The revenue from the advertisement would most likely be going to alternative forms of transportation, Hall said.

Under a contract for these fixtures, Sac State would not be required to replace or remove any current fixtures, such as the two outdoor bulletin kiosks on campus. Sac State would also have the final say over what kind of ads were placed on campus.

“We would have 100 percent veto power of the ads,” Hall said.
