Fees support student services
programs, facilities, agencies
By Doug Forbes
Staff Reporter
You can think of student fees, or "University
Program and Facilities Fees" as a tax which
supports non-academic services at UNL. Just
like the taxes that you pay for the privilege of
American citizenship, UPFF maintains services,
facilities, and programs for the benefit of stu
dents. Whereas tuition revenues fund UNL's
academic curriculum, student fees support stu
dent organizations and affairs. Some of the
groups that receive UPFF for their budgets are
the University Health Center, the Daily Nebraskan,
the University Program Council, the Nebraska
Unions, and the Campus Recreation program.
Student fees, however, are not their only source
of income. Many of these programs, facilities,
and services generate their own income; others
receive tuition and tax monies.
Student fees are divided into two groups: Fund
A and Fund B. Fund A covers student organ
izations, while Fund B covers institutional obliga
tions and student services agencies. The recently-completed
addition to the University
Health Center, for example, was paid for by bond
revenues that are financed by Fund B fees. Fund
A fees support the DN, ASUN, and the UPC. The
division of fees income is mandated by UNL's
Board of Regents.
Last year, the total revenue collected from
UPFF was $4,616,938 during the 1986-87 school
term. A student carrying seven or more credit
hours paid S 105.1)5. For the liJS? Ss academic
year, the total foes for a student carrying seven or
more credit hours will increase slightly, to $111,
a 4.8" increase, said James Griesen, vice
chancellor of student affairs and advisor to the
committee for fees allocation (CFA).
The CFA reviews the annual budget requests
made by the various student-fees supported
agencies. It consists of five ASUN senators and
six elected representatives. Three members
represent students living off-campus, two are
from residence halls and one represents fraternity
and sorority residents. This distribution of rep
resentatives reflects the actual ratio of UNL's
students' residences. Three volunteers advise
the CFA, including a faculty advisor, Griesen and
a fiscal adviser from the budget office. Student
organizations submit their budget requests to
the CFA early in the spring semester. The CFA
reviews them and makes recomendations to the
ASUN. ASUN then endorses them or makes
ammendments and sends them to the chancellor.
The chancellor has the final approval of all
fundings.
The CFA meets once a week in the fall
semester and twice a week in the spring.
Meetings are open to all UNL students.
Fund A fees, which will total $7.02 next
semester, are refundable. Information about
getting the Fund A portion of your student fees
refunded is available through the Student Ac
tivities and Financial Services, Nebraska Union
