Why we need to increase?

Higher fixed costs such as insurance, travel expenses, printing, benefits, compared with last year

Funding resources are steadily being depleted and the current trend is for the increased cost for education to shift from college to student (by method of fee assessment)

Summary Overall expenditures will be increasing With the current SS&A Fee rate, we can not

provide the services that out students are looking for and need

Focus on co-curricular service learning As part of an educational institution, if our

learning outcomes change, we will need to adjust our educational services as well to meet the demand

However, the school is currently not able to provide those services by itself because of funding challenges. This year, the students and the college are moving towards providing our students with collaborative solutions.
