On Thursday, Bowdoin Student Government (BSG) decided to conditionally restore Charter I status to the College Republicans, a reversal of BSG's action in November to move the Republicans to Charter II status following a taking of unauthorized funds.

"They will be restored to Charter I as soon as they have appointed a new treasurer and some new training has taken place," wrote BSG President Dustin Brooks to the Orient. "We are not asking them to repay the amount they would likely have received had the allocation been fully processed, only the funds withdrawn in excess of that amount."

"We are pleased that BSG had decided to reinstate our Charter I status, and we look forward to working together with the SAFC... in the future," said College Republicans President Jeff Jeng '09 in an e-mail to the Orient.
