Student Association Treasurer Sikander Khan and Vice President Meghan McMonagle did not need the Senate's approval to sign the contract for $300,000 with Virtual Academix, but they sought it anyway. Constitutionally, Khan did not have to seek Senate's approval before or after signing the contract because the Senate does not have to approve every expenditure he makes. The Senate may "approve or disapprove all budgetary line transfers with Student Association which are proposed following the finalization of the budget," according to the SA constitution. Simply, the Senate only has to approve money moved within SA's accounts, not money being spent to outside vendors. "All money spent by the Student Association generally has to be approved by the Senate in budget adjustments," said a senator that signed Khan's and McMonagle's document who wished to remain anonymous.
