Students will see a $52 hike in their student fees next fall, now that university President John D. Welty has signed the new Instructionally Related Activity (IRA) Fee.

When the graduating class of 2008 comes back for their 10-year reunion, it won’t be just their classmates who have changed.

Students lined up as much as three or four deep to express their opinions to the Campus Fee Advisory Committee about the possible $70 increase to student fees during an hour-long open forum discussion Wednesday.

Students will have another chance to speak their mind about the possible Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) fee increase today, from 4 – 5 p.m. in the University Student Union rooms 312 – 314

During a time when normally only one or two students speak up, six stood up during the Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) meeting this Thursday to air their concerns over the $70 Instructionally Related Activity (IRA) Fee increase, which could still happen despite 65 percent of students voting against it last week.

Students have voted against the Instructionally Related Activity (IRA) fee referendum during the Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) election last week, but they could still find themselves paying for the $70 increase to their student fees.

Students may be saying goodbye to their three-day weekends and dead days, while saying hello to a longer winter break, if University President John D. Welty signs a proposal to change the academic calendar.

When it comes to the demands of any course at Fresno State, students and teachers have a very different perception of reality, according to a new study.

Starting April 8, students will choose whether they want a $70 increase in student fees.
