While Turning Point is the first RSO to be punished under the new policy, ASUW will continue to scrutinize all funding requests, even taking a closer look at funding requests approved throughout the current semester.

“We only have so much money and it’s kind of first-come-first-serve as RSOs have their events,” ASUW Senator Haley Fried said. “And so I think it’s a way for ASUW to create a transparent and consistent communication with the RSOs at the University of Wyoming.”

Fried added she did not expect more suspensions, even as ASUW looks into past funding requests.

“If we look back into it, I think there would be little things here and there, but I don’t think it would be on as big of a scale as what Turning Point violated,” she said.

Leach said she acknowledged her group had made mistakes and broken the funding policy, but added suspension was too harsh a punishment.

“The repercussions that we’ve received do not necessarily match the small violations that occurred,” she said.

A suspension bans Turning Point from receiving funds from the RSO Funding Board until the spring 2019 semester, but does not ban them from seeking money through other sources, even other sources on campus, Wetzel said.
