9.22. Memorial Union Support Fee

The Administration is authorized to assess a Memorial Union Building Support fee of $37.10 per semester for each enrolled student. This fee is earmarked for support of the operational cost of the Memorial Union Building and is intended to guarantee students priority service in that facility to include, but not limited to:

• The reworking of the space reservation policy for the MUB to establish an open reservation period beginning the 13th week of the spring semester. During this period, all groups (registered student groups, campus groups and community programs and groups) would be able to reserve space in the MUB for the upcoming May 1st through May 31st of the following year. These reservations would be processed on a first come first served basis and would be binding; thus leveling the reservation playing field.
• Registered student groups will not be charged for fund raising events that occur in the MUB.
• Assumption of the costs associated with the basic IT costs-phone and network connections-for the student organization offices.
• The MUB in conjunction with the Memorial Union Board and Auxiliary Services will coordinate additional services.

This fee is intended to substantively improve the Memorial Union Building and the services provided to students. Excess revenue generated by this fee will be committed to improvements in this building and the services offered.

Students not enrolled in courses on the main campus, University employees, and/or Senior Citizens who are not assessed the fee are not eligible to receive the associated benefits.
