The Union of Student Organizations (USO) was a student organization governing board founded in Spring 1993 through the merger of the Student Union Polity and the Joint Budgetary and Calendaring Committee of the CCSC and ESC.[1] Within three years the organization was being accused of micro-managing student organization expenditures, generating a profit for itself by seizing unspent group allocations, giving itself disciplinary power over student groups, and operating as a black box with little transparency.[2]
