Collegians for a Constructive Tomorrow at the University of Minnesota

Summary

In 2014, the student group Collegians for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) applied for student fee funding at the University of Minnesota and were granted an $80,000 budget. However, once a rival student group complained, the fees committee cut CFACT’s budget by 90%. ADF wrote an appeal letter for CFACT, and within less than a month, the University restored 80% of CFACT’s budget.
