The increase in the current $2.50 shuttle bus fee to add an additional one also has been discussed. On top of those two fees will come the annual tuition and fee hike proposals.

The key here for senate members is to ask questions, lots of them. If the questions cannot be answered, then how can students feasibly swallow an additional fee increase? Whether it’s a $2 fee increase or $100, Student Senate members need to carefully consider whether students are really in favor of the proposed fee and its service.
