UTSA student fee referendum set for
Feb. 3-6

(Jan. 31, 2003)--Students at the University of Texas at San Antonio will vote on a referendum to support four fees crucial to providing current and expanded services to students.

Set for Feb. 3-6, the referendum is necessary for UTSA to meet student services needs at the rapidly growing 1604 and Downtown campuses, where enrollment now exceeds 22,000 students.

The Feb. 3-6 referendum asks students to approve an additional $75-per-semester fee. Fee increases totalling $18 have already been approved for Fall 2003. Students are asked to vote electronically via the Web using their Banner ID, with votes accepted until midnight Feb. 6.

"As we spend more time in the classroom and studying at UTSA, it helps all students if important services are expanded and made more readily available,” said Jenny Lutz, a senior majoring in psychology. "This election is crucial for student programming."

"Due to increased enrollment, UTSA's services and programs for students have been stretched beyond capacity," said Rosalie Ambrosino, vice president for student affairs. "A representative group of students will prioritize how this funding will be spent if the referendum passes."

If all four areas of the referendum pass, students carrying 12 or more credit hours in the fall would pay an additional $93 in fees (as compared to Spring 2003 fees), with the exact amount depending on the amount of the transportation fee.

See a chart detailing the proposed fees and more information.
