Policy and Procedures EDI student / org funds are for use by current University of Minnesota Morris students who have demonstrated a commitment to campus engagement around multiculturalism, social justice, or improving campus climate. Preference will be given to students who are presenting or are involved in the planning of a conference/event, and to students who are actively involved in EDI programs. Funds may also be used to support study abroad or other similar experiences. Individual applicants must be making satisfactory progress toward degree completion, including a minimum GPA of 2.0 in the semester prior to the request and a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. Applications may be denied due to prior student conduct violations. One request per student or student organization will be considered each academic year in each of the funds. Student organizations applying for funds must demonstrate financial need and / or exceptional opportunity. For example, these funds are an appropriate resource for a new organization that is not yet eligible for an annual allocation, or to attend a special exhibit, conference, or other cultural event that was not anticipated in an organization’s annual budget request. Students and groups receiving funding are expected to: Represent themselves, EDI, the Morris campus, and the University of Minnesota with integrity and respect for self and others, and to conduct themselves responsibly at all times.
