Proposed new mandatory fees at Montana Tech (North Campus Only)

 

Tech Learning Center Fee for North Campus Students

 

This fee is basically to replace the fees lost to the math department when

the Regents restructured lab fees.� In the past, the math department

provided the Tech Learning Center with approximately $14,000 per year to

support the tutoring program, which is the heart of the TLC program.� Math

tutoring comprises the majority of tutoring costs in the TLC.� Furthermore,

decreased support of the TLC on the part of the Foundation is anticipated.

The TLC has been given the additional responsibility for all campus

retention programs without any substantial increase in funding.� Temporary

subsidy has been provided by the Residential Life Program, but this should

end so that these funds can be used for the living/learning program purposes

as intended.� The proposed fee will cover these tutoring costs and allow the

Center to expand its support services at a minimum level.� A� writing tutor

will likely be added.�������

 

HPER Expansion and Operational Support of the HPER

 

ASMT recommends and put to referendum a new fee to improve recreational and

athletic facilities on the Tech campus.� This proposed new fee is $2 per

credit hour up to 12 credit hours, phased up to $3 over a nine-year period.

In year one, revenue would be $88,000.� Year four would be $96,000, and year

nine would be $136,000.� In the 2000 ASMT Executive Officer Elections,

students strongly supported expanding the weight room facilities in the

HPER.� This is both an access and a safety issue.� Student discussions have

also led to the idea that the fee should pay for these improvement project

costs and thereafter be dedicated to the operation and improvement of the

HPER.�
