Referendum Backs increase in Student Activity Fees

Still Smiling After Six Grueling Hours

Work done March 13 at a marathon six hour budget session, was endorsed by the Student Body in a referendum April 9. The vote: 715 Yes, 699 No with 304 abstentions. Now the Student Senators have really something to smile about. At that March meeting the Senate endorsed $2,683,047 in Student Activity Fee allocations to 37 programs and $1,205,129 for Intercollegiate Athletics (increase of 2.07% for Intercollegiate Athletics ($3.86 per credit hour to $3.94)).The April referendum supported the overall increase of 4.9% ($8.36 per credit hour to $8.77). University President Richard Davenport will now have to review the referendum results before the higher activity fee for 2019-20 is formally approved.
