A policy that would limit the use of student segregated fees is on its way to the UW System Board of Regents.
The policy would prevent student governments from allocating segregated fees to organizations for some purposes, such as the hiring of staff members not affiliated with the university and renting off-campus facilities. Organizations that wanted to use segregated fees to such purposes would have to appeal to the chancellor, according to the policy.
In a 6-3-1 vote, a committee of System administrators and students passed the proposal, which now heads to UW System President Kevin Reilly. The Board of Regents will review the proposal at its Dec. 6 and 7 meetings.
