New A&M Student Services Fee Approved By Regents
Featured Stories, News Monday, May 7th, 2012Next fall at Texas A&M University, students will notice a new fee.
The A&M System Board of Regents approved President Bowen Loftin’s request to establish the student success fee, a revenue-neutral way to address reductions in state funding.
A&M President Bowen Loftin tells the Board of Regents revenue sources for the Student Success Fee.
$14 million dollars will be moved next year and $21 million the following year to the new fee account.
Dr. Loftin gave the regents more than a dozen examples of where the reallocated money could be spent. Some examples are student retention, increasing transfer students, the quality enhancement plan (Aggies Commit), high-impact learning experiences (undergraduate research, study abroad, etc.), and the infrastructure to support these efforts.
Dr. Loftin lists more than one dozen possible uses for Student Success Fee revenue.
Dr. Loftin intends to establish a working group to address the new student success fee, similar to how a funding reallocation process was executed last fall.
