The amendment to expand the grant to all anti-hate measures failed, but the council passed the time limit bill by a vote of 29-9 with one abstention.

The bill does not provide any funding for publicity about the grant, but council members said that they will use the uc-announce e-mail list.

"People aren't going to apply for this because they see a random poster in the Yard. They'll apply because they hear about it in their student groups," Todd E. Plants '01 said.

One final area of controversy centered around whether the grant money should be returned to the grants fund instead of the special fund it originally came from.

The challenge grant was not a grant but an "extension of the advocacy efforts of the [Student Advisory Committee]," committee chair Paul A. Gusmorino '02 argued.

Members of the council's Finance Committee (FiCom) said that the grant tried to circumvent the council's normal grant-giving process--and that the money would be better spent if FiCom had had oversight.

"The way we're going about this is the wrong way," John P. Marshall '01 said.

In the end, the council also decided to give the money back to the grants fund, even though it did not originally come from there.
