76% of spring budget money for 'all students' stayed with ASUNM

It was the spring of 2016 when a long-standing student organization was told they were no longer going to receive their primary source of funding. Scribendi began in 1985 when students aimed to create a space for other Lobos to express themselves through writing. Alexandra Magel, current ­­­­­­­­­­­editor-in-chief of Scribendi, said the magazine’s production — which has been met with rich student involvement and national recognition — was put in jeopardy when the Associated Students of UNM told Scribendi staff that they were no longer eligible for funding through the spring ASUNM budget process.
