Remarks
Whereas All campus fees are paid through general student tuition;
Whereas This system was adopted with the intention of making it easier for students to know exactly how much they owed the university;
Whereas This transition has unintentionally made it harder for individual university programs to profit off of the services they provide;
Whereas Direct profit would push these programs to deliver better services to students, as there would be more monetary motivation to do so;
Be It Further Resolved That campus fees be separated from general tuition and converted to a payment system akin to the one used at UT San Antonio for the betterment of our university.
