None of these resources are trivial or in abundance. Actually, all of these resources are limited, and it is the responsibility of the ASA Executive Board to ensure that they are assigned responsibly to both existing and new groups. The ASA must take this job very seriously and must balance the number of groups with respect to these resources so that old groups can continue to exist and new groups can thrive.
Notes
Note 1- Club Sports
can choose to participate in either the Activities Midway or the
Athletics Gateway, but not both.
Note 2- Club Sports
request bulletin board space through the Athletics Department, which
assign space from a section of Bulletin Boards dedicated for these
groups.
Note 3- FSILGs, residential or not, should obtain
financial accounts and support from their national
organizations. In the cases when that is not possible, SAFO will
work with individual groups to determine their needs and discuss
available options.
Note 4- MIT Student Groups, if
necessary, can work with Student Activities Office and Campus Activities Complex
for occasional access on a need basis.
