Yet despite the initially rigorous approval process, former BYUSA members say much of the organization’s spending is left up to student discretion — a fact that some feel does not always result in the most worthwhile expenditures.
Clint Peterson, a former executive director of the university’s Student Advisory Council who worked closely with BYUSA, said he estimates only 40 percent of the organization’s expenses go to activities and initiatives that directly benefit students, while the remaining 60 percent are often spent on luxurious, catered banquets, retreats for student leadership and advertising to further promote the organization.
“There are big banquets for leadership at the end of every semester, catered with gourmet three-course meals,” Peterson said. “There is food at every retreat, usually two meals from a nice restaurant. Every expense needs to be approved by faculty within BYUSA, but it seems that everything gets signed off on without any real debate.”
