Student leaders back mostly steady fees, urge trustees to review advisory recommendation
Summary
ASUU president Alex Rose said the student advisory board supported keeping most fees intact and provided rationale for a modest computing fee reduction; he said the board will circulate a written recommendation for trustees to review.
Alex Rose, ASUU student body president and co-chair of the student fee advisory board, told trustees the student board supported maintaining most student fees after prior-year changes and provided the reasoning behind a modest computing fee reduction.
"I cochair with Kimmy, the student fee advisory board... I'll send out a recommendation, like, a PDF as well you can read through on some of our decision making," Rose said, adding that last year’s fee changes were thoroughly researched and that the computing-fee recommendation had wide student backing. Rose encouraged trustees to review the advisory board’s detailed recommendation before implementation.
Trustees approved the student fees during the meeting; Rose’s remarks and the advisory board’s involvement were cited in the administration’s presentation describing the board’s majority-student composition and its role in overseeing fee recommendations.
