Students to Pay $400/$500 Annually

Students to Pay $400/$500 Annually. Name: Instructor: Institution: Date: In what seems to be a new chapter in the co-curricular development within the institution, students in the University of Connecticut will have to pay $500/$400 a year for the new recreation center, starting in the fall 2019 semester. The new changes will see graduates pay an additional $400 annually, while undergraduates will pay $500 over the same duraction, according to Stephanie Reitz, the institution’s spokesperson. These new fees would go a long way in helping to plug the operational costs involved in the construction and running of the amenities. Additionally, this would be used for the maintenance of the facility over the long term. The amenities would in turn be of great help to the students, providing them with ample recreational facilities. This is great news since it will help students shun away from idleness, which is usually one of the contributing factors of suicide. Students will be engaged in some activities, hence help deal away with issues to do with depression and loneliness. It is therefore something that would improve and safeguard the students’ psychological abilities, according to Eleanor Daugherty, the Dean of Students. Furthermore, the new recreational facility will help ease the pressure off students, considering the overload of classwork that tends to occasionally affect them. The institution has been funding most of its infrastructural projects using 30-year bonds, and the fee increment is also meant to pay up for this. The new charges will however, most likely raise some concern among the students, especially those who feel that the money would simply be misused. Given the length of the payment period and the amount to be paid by each student, there is some serious need for transparency in terms of how the cash would be used. Accountability is one thing that has been raised by the students’ body. To ensure balance, the arrangement is such that the beneficiaries of the facilities are the only ones to pay the additional increment indicated. This is to mean that only the current and future graduate and undergraduate students are to pay. There is still much ado about the new fee increment, since there seems to be lack of clear communication to the students, about it. Some students quipped that suppose this was a facility meant for virtually all the students, then it would be prudent for the institution to clearly communicate about the mandatory fee increment. Conversely, if it only meant to serve willing students, then there was need to exempt those students who aren’t interested in the facility, from the increment. Towards this end however, there seems not to be a clear criterion outlined by the institution on how to go about charging every student, or just a portion of them.
