ZERO DOLLARS

MIKE TRUJILLO / DAILY TITAN SSI must serve students better The early phases of the Student Success Initiative highlights CSUF’s most immediate needs AMBER UDDIN Daily Titan The tagline for the Stu- dent Success Initiative is “Titans Deserve Better.” Yes, they do. The Student Success Ini- tiative (SSI), a $120 fee for all students that went into effect this semester, has yet to address or fulfill many of the issues its supporters claimed it would. Despite this new fee, campus services have not improved much. Overcrowding, lack of computers, slow networks, slow Internet and poorly maintained facilities are all issues that plague the daily experience of many students. The SSI promised to be an all-encompassing program to improve student success, but has yet to make any meaningful improvements.
