Feb. 23 team works with the Board of Regents, we like to keep it below an $800-$1200 a year increase in total,” Baker said. “Right now we’re setting it at around $500.”

Under the proposed budget, the Safe Ride Home app requested to be raised from $1.75 to $2.75 per credit hour. The Safe Ride Home app plans to use these funds to update its app, raise labor cost, improve equipment cost and cover the cost of increasing gas prices.

“I’ve heard from many students that Safe Ride is important to them,” Baker said. “We’ve had an incredible reduction over the last 20 years of DUI’s. We know that this adds safety for people, adds safety for the community.”

The Student Activity fee, originally $3, now $4 per credit hour, is aimed to help aid current programs and add support for already existing organizations. This fee hasn’t been increased for over 10 years, but Baker said now is the time to add additional support due to increasing maintenance prices. This program helps support Senate, Lead Green and mental health and well-being programs.

The Campus Recreation Fee has been raised from $11.75 to $15.25 per credit hour. This fee will help maintain recreation programs across campus and eventually add opportunities for more. This fee helps improve informal recreation, fitness, intramurals, club sports, special events and collaborative functions through Mozingo Lake Recreation Park. The Fee Committee hopes that with this extra funding, it can maintain current programs and operational levels while student labor and programs increase.

The biggest fee increase, the campus master plan, has been raised from $20 to $25 per credit hour. This program covers residential halls, campus signage, navigation markers, landscaping, classrooms and gathering spaces. This fee addresses central plant and tunnel infrastructure, LED lighting to reduce cost over the years, technology upgrades and domestic water lines.

“We want to invest in order to save money,” Baker said. “It takes money to make money, one of the things that we’re going to improve is replacing the lighting in the library with LED lighting. It’s $100,000 to replace the lighting, we will save that in a year and a month.”
