organization overseen by the FSA. SCOOP owned and operated Scoop Audio/Visual, the Replacement Coffee Shop, Tabler II Cafe (Douglass College), Polity-Toscanini Record Shop, Hard Rock Cafe (Toscanini), James College Pub, two Cooperative Cafeterias in Roosevelt, HARPO Ice Cream (Kelly), SCOOP Health Shop (Union), Rainy Night House (Union, where the Salon and the Colours Cafe/Sci-Fi Forum are now) amongst other short-lived businesses throughout the years. The more recent Colours Cafe was operated by Polity and the Harriman Cafe was operated by the Business School. Both were indirect dissidents of SCOOP, but were never a part of it. All businesses on campus are currently operated by the FSA. In the summer of 1993, SCOOP had accumulated more than $55,000 in debt to local businesses and vendors. Upon receiving complaints from these businesses, the University requested that the FSA look into dissolving SCOOP, which it had the power to do contractually. In early September 1993, SCOOP was closed down, with three remaining businesses left with an uncertain fate. Department of Web Technologies, 2010-2012 Originally named the Office of Web Technologies and Financial Informatics (OWTFI), this was formed in the Spring of 2010 to coincide with the development of ALLOCATE, an open source project known as the Student Life Loupe. The intent is for this agency to continue to develop and maintain all software and web assets of the USG, in order to remove this responsibility from elected officials who may not have the ability to do so. Department of Justice A quasi-independent agency headed by the Advocate General, who serves as the USG's representative for internal court cases, as well as an investigator into financial issues. In 2008, the Student Bureau of Investigation (SBI) was established to assist the Advocate General in investigating potentially fraudulent uses of the Student Activity Fee, but the Bureau has been on indefinite hiatus since then.
