The proposed Student Union fee will go towards many improvements within the Student Unions. Here is a breakdown of where and when those improvements are proposed to happen.
The Student Union Fee Committee, an eleven member student committee, will have oversight and fee allocation review responsibilities, and will assist in the preparation of an annual report and audit. Representatives include students from: Residence Hall Association; ASUA; Department of MultiCultural Programs; University Activities Board; Greek Life; Student Unions Advisory Council; Graduate Students; Commuter Students; and three students appointed by the Student Union Fee Committee through an application process.
