Co-sponsorships

Any club that includes SEAS students or wants to hold an event that will include SEAS students can apply for ESC co-sponsorship. Applications must be submitted by 6pm on Friday to be considered at the next ESC meeting. Email VP Intergroup Daniel Wong at dsw2107@columbia.edu for more info. Always fill the application out in full and with as much information as possible.

  • Segregate all costs to avoid ambiguity:
Instead of "Decorations & Food - $500", write "Decorations - $200, Food - $300".
  • When asking co-sponsorship from CCSC, ESC, SGA and GSSC, always ask in ratio (3:1:2:0.9) unless you have a specific reason against asking in ratio.
Instead of "ESC - $500, CCSC - $500", write "ESC - $250, CCSC - $750".

Internal elections

Adam Goldberg's proposal

The ESC internally elects executive board members, including the president. This has been the subject of much controversy over the years. The election rules can only be altered during the annual constitutional review. Several council members have proposed amendments calling for direct elections, so far none have been approved. Several years ago, someone accused the ESC of being insular and that it was only electing current council members to E-board positions. The ESC is also widely criticized by campus news sources such as Bwog and Spectator for holding internal elections.
