The Last Day Of Classes committee will have to work with a smaller budget this year.
At their meeting Tuesday night, Duke University Union members finalized end of semester plans and in a closed meeting, discussed LDOC plans.
“We are giving a total of $20,000 to LDOC,” said President Zachary Perret, a senior. “Fifteen thousand is for the LDOC event, and $5,000 is a loan.” Perret noted that the loan will allow the LDOC committee to begin to repay its deficit from last year’s event, which is estimated to be around $13,000. The committee will have two years to repay its loans and eliminate its deficit, Perret said.
“This year, LDOC will be smaller financially but not in detrimental ways,” Perret said. “The program and quality will still be really good, but we have to be conscious of what is going on financially in the University.”
Perret declined to comment on possible guests and programs for LDOC. He said those details will be released in March after Spring Break.
