The tuition and fee committee met Monday night and heard presentations on the student legal services fee, the concert fee, student publications fee, computer technology fee and the network fee.

Steve Davis, coordinator of Student Legal Services presented a $1.50 increase per semester, which would bring the legal services fee up to $4 a semester.

“At a 4-percent increase of $4, that comes to a 16-cent increase per semester,” Davis said.

Caleb Judy, University Board chair, presented a report about the UB concert fee.

Judy estimated numbers for the remainder of the fiscal year 2002-2003 budget. The numbers are based on 60 percent sellout for events. The upcoming Counting Crows concert and Dave Chapelle comedy show numbers have been estimated.

Judy said that the concert revenues could total $103,401.09 with a projected surplus of $2,398.91.

John David Reed, director of Student Publications, presented a report.

Reed said the Student Publication fee was included in the activity fee, which at 4 percent, is an increase $1.35 per semester for a total of $34.85 a semester.

Alan Baharlou, chair of the Student Technology Fee Subcommittee, presented a report.

Baharlou said the fees will go to maintain technology in computer labs across campus and improve technology in the classrooms.

The proposed technology fee increase of 4 percent comes to $1.60 per semester and $41.60 a semester.

Jeff Cooley, vice president for business affairs, presented a report on the network fee increase.

The proposed increase calls for $50 a semester increase, a total of $100 a year.

Cooley said the increase will fund a 10-year project plan to upgrade the campus infrastructure for network upgrades, which will add greater Internet speed and improve technology capabilities on campus.

The next tuition and fees committee meeting will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Seventh Street Underground.

Budget presentations will be heard on the graduate student fee, the athletic fee, grant-in-aid fee, Apportionment Board, Lantz-O’Brien operation fee and University Union operation fee.
