Student Senate should look for of the president and the alternate funding for the bus instead of raising student fees. office of the vice presi- dent for student affairs. However, Melissa Girten, former shuttle bus coor- dinator, said hiking the shuttle fee would be better than seeking alternatives. “Doubling the fee would be better than scrapping together funds,” she said. Asking the office of the president and the office of vice president for student affairs would be a much better option. In fact, finding alternatives to raising or producing new student fees should be a priority, especially one of the shuttle bus committee and Student Senate’s, both bodies that represents students who have to fork out the additional money. The proposed increase is now in the hands of the tuition and review board. If approved by the board, it will then move to Student Senate and the final stamp of approval will have to come from Eastern’s Board of Trustees. During the entire approval process, one question needs to be kept in mind: Did students force the committee to come up $25,000 short of funding the shuttle bus for next semester?
