SAFC funding
Sign Now
The Student Assembly Finance Commission (SAFC) claims to fund over 350 student organizations that are registered at Cornell University. Sexual Awareness for Everyone (SAFE) is one such organization that turns to the SAFC for financial support in order to be able to continue serving the Cornell community. For the last twelve years, SAFE has worked to raise awareness, especially about HIV/AIDS and other STIs, and promote safe sex practices through a variety of workshops and events on and around the Cornell campus. One of the most crucial aspects of SAFE is the regular distribution of condoms on campus and in Collegetown bars. During our entire involvement in SAFE while at Cornell, the SAFC has refused to fund these condoms on the basis that they are perishable. With regard to durable goods, the SAFC states that it funds consumer goods that are typically used repeatedly over a period of years and able to exist without significant deterioration. Understanding that condoms have a shelf life of several years, but that they are most effective when worn during sexual intercourse, we believe that the SAFC should fund these much-needed (and relatively inexpensive) goods. More importantly, we view the SAFCs definition of durable goods as unnecessarily restrictive and maladapted to the needs of sexual health groups on campus. We urge the SAFC to remodel its funding guidelines to allow for condom endowment, especially considering the restructuring of financial allocations the SAFC is currently facing. It is in the interest of the entire Cornell community to encourage, rather than hinder, the use of prophylactics.

As a Gannett Safety Zone Volunteer, I can vouch for the fact that condoms are very essential to the sexual well being of all students on this campus. When I am distributing condoms I run out in a matter of minutes because there are a number of students wh
