Fee Increase
The board of trustees has proposed an eighty-dollar fee increase to help the university achieve gender equality in women’s sports and to fund sports clubs for both men and women on campus. At a meeting of the Student Council on Monday, the representatives of the student body voted to support the plan, which is expected to be approved at the next board meeting. The funds generated by the increase will total in excess of $800,000, a substantial part of which will be used to provide scholarships for women athletes. This action will attract more women athletes to campus and will bring the university in compliance with federal legislation
