Although only four students spoke at Monday’s Student Success Fee Forum, some concerns were raised as the Feb. 29 vote on the proposed fee draws closer.
If the fee is approved, students would pay $160 in Fall 2012, with the amount increasing each quarter until it reached $260. In the end, the Student Success Fee could net the university approximately $14 million if passed, although associate vice provost Kimi Ikeda said she is hesitant to say exactly what the funds could be used for. The possible uses for the money include increasing the number of classes offered every quarter, raises for faculty and staff and increased funding for promoting diversity on campus.
