A Student Association expenditure form obtained by The Hatchet and information from sources within the SA raise questions about senior senators who potentially misused student funds last spring.

In response to threats of impeachment for an incomplete expenditure approval form earlier this week, SA President Phil Robinson mentioned he also found improper senator EAFs.
