Spring 2007
Committee:
Local student associated organizations
Whereas, Student health service fees are determined locally and are levied on a per student basis;
Whereas, These fees are often applied inconsistently to students with local exceptions being made for various cohorts such as Board of Governors enrollment fee waiver recipients or students enrolled in pre-employment academies such as public safety programs;
Whereas, There are also some students who cannot legally make use of the health services on their campuses, such as students in the military; and to exclude these students from the equations that determine funding for local health services programs could strip the health services programs of critically needed funding; and
Whereas, The collection of health fees is an additional barrier to course registration that can lead to students being dropped for non-payment, which results in a subsequent loss of FTES base funding;
Resolved, That the Student Senate for California Community Colleges work with the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges, the System Office, the Governor's Office to secure dedicated apportionment for student health services in California community colleges.
