The Student Assembly Fee Proposal

​

What is it?

The Student Assembly of the State University of New York recommends to
the SUNY Board of Trustees the authorization of a $0.50 per semester,
per student, student governance fee to provide sustainable funding to the

Student Assembly.

​

How much funding would a $0.50/student per semester fee raise?

Based on enrollment estimates this fee would generate approximately $400,000 in revenue for the SUNY Student Assembly.

How long has this proposal been around?

The student leaders of the Student Assembly in the year 2002 adopted a resolution at the fall conference endorsing the proposal for a modest fee citing the following: "The current allotted budget of $61,000 can no longer sustain the needs of the SUNY Student Assembly and it severely limits the SUNY Student Assembly's ability to represent the 400,000 plus students of SUNY." A resolution was passed in the year 2019 and a resolution was unanimously passed in the year 2021 calling for this issue to be addressed.
