Fee Update! ASUA has voted against supporting the exorbitant Health/Rec fee (currently at a $306 increase), despite the evidence presented from the very poorly designed survey Student Services put out.Here are the fee proposals as they stand right now.
Next year you could be looking at approximately (these are mostly still being proposed and discussed in both ASUA and GPSC, but they'll be going to Pres. Shelton soon):
Library: $150
AZ Rise ("Green" Fee): $50
PIRG (Advocacy group): $2
Tech: $300
Health/Rec: $306
Right now you probably pay about $144ish...oops, that's per semester. So $288 per year. (Of course, that depends on the program).
plus the other fees you usually have to pay...
Tuition surcharge: $414
Student Services: $40
Rec Bond: $25
ASA: $2
AFAT: $15
KAMP: $1
That's $498.
Of course, these are all approximations...we don't know what the final result will be until the fees are actually set and posted to your bursar's account.
Are you ticked off? Contact your GPSC rep. They can't represent you if you don't tell them what you think. GPSC will have a meeting dedicated entirely to fees on Feb 17th in Law 168 at 6pm. Open your mouth before you open your wallet.

1. The PIRG fee is $3 per year, $1.50 per semester. The $2-per-semester number was for last year's election.
2. Are all of these numbers per-semester, then? Or per-year? This difference is often elided in fee discussion, but the difference is literally 100 percent.
--If it is per year, then that Health/Rec number is certainly too low. The most expensive option offered by the survey was $160 per semester, $320 per year.
