Traditionally, HoCos have received a lump sum of money to pay for house social activities, thus freeing them from some constraints of the UC’s normal event-based grant process. In many cases, these funds go to smaller House grants for alcohol-free events. The new measures, however, appear to treat HoCos like any other student group, demanding that they provide receipts for any grant reimbursement, and requiring costly Beverage Authorization Teams to be present...
