STUDENT FEES REPORTING

S 95-4

Whereas, The students of San Jose State University pay a variety of fees for laboratory use, child care, health services, testing, and Instructionally Related Activities (IRS), among others, and

Whereas, Taken as a whole, these fees may constitute an additional financial burden in the basic cost of attending school at SJSU (based on "typical" 94/95 fees, for example, about 25 percent over and above the basic $792 fee), and

Whereas, Information about the application of these fees to the purposes for which they have been collected is not readily available; therefore be it

Resolved:

That the administration of SJSU shall make available on an annual basis, along with its annual report to the Academic Senate on the university budget, an accounting of all the monies collected for each student fee category and the disposition of those funds, including surpluses as well as deficits; and be it

Resolved:

That the report shall be made available in the Academic Senate Office and the Associated Students Office for perusal by students, faculty, administrators, and any other interested member of the SJSU community.
