Review of Fall 2020 Course Fees
Members discussed the process of implementing and maintaining a course fee, as well as the importance of the fees matching the expenses that the department has for the course. It was agreed that Ms. Riotto, Ms. Hallenbeck and Dr. Ross would discuss with the Provost the need to conduct a review on the course fees to ensure the fees that are obtained are appropriate for the expenses they are designated to cover.
Technology Fee and Campus Needs
Members discussed the possibility of reviewing how the technology fee is being used to meet the needs of the campus. This review would cover the fully online students paying the “double technology fee” and how technology needs are being met in the remote learning/working environment. It was decided the members would review the Special Sessions survey that students completed that were in online classes to see if there is a need for this review.
