***Breaking***
The Regents just voted to raise student fees by up to 30%. This is the plan that would raise fees by 25% right away, with discretion given to President Atkinson to raise fees an additional 5%. The vote was actually pretty close -- 5-4. If I was an enterprising young Student Regent, it might be worth exploring a resolution that would trigger a fee reduction when the budget situation improves. This would be fairly easy right now -- many Regents want to demonstrate that this is out of absolute necessity, not for the sheer joy of squeezing students. No one wants to be the bad guy. So a resolution declaring an automatic fee decrease back to pre-crisis levels could pass. This could prevent a possible ratchet effect when the budget situation does improve -- the pressure to cut at some unspecified future date is higher then it'll ever be. It's also possible that this resolution already exists and I have no knowledge of it.Email This Post! |
