Washington State Law concerning
Student Technology Fee Committee:
| The Student Technology Fee (STF) is
designed to provide funds for the improvement of technology
used by the students at the University of Washington
campuses. The Tacoma Student Technology Fee Committee
("the committee") determines the expenditure
of this fee. Students of UWT lead the committee and
the committee allocates money for technology resources
for general student use pursuant to RCW 28B.15.051 and
the agreement between the Associated Students of the
University of Washington, Tacoma (ASUWT), and the Board
of Regents. |
|
|
Regents Agreement:
| Be it resolved that the
Board of Regent's authorizes the President of the Board
of Regents and the President of the University of Washington
to enter into new, campus specific, student Technology
Fee Agreements. The new agreements for the Bothell Campus,
the Seattle Campus, and the Tacoma Campus will replace
the existing university-wide agreement, and will take
effect if and only if all four student government associations,
(ASUW, GPSS, ASUWB, and ASUWT) also agree to enter into
the agreements. The three new agreements will be in
the following form: |
| |
The University of Washington
Tacoma Campus Student Technology Fee Agreement |

The University of Washington,
through its President and Board of Regents, and the
ASUWT, through its President, agree as follows: that
a mandatory technology fee initially set at $120 per
year for full-time students at the Tacoma campus will
be assessed beginning Fall Quarter 2000; that the University
of Washington Tacoma Student Technology Fee Committee
will approve the annual expenditure plan on a fiscal
period from July 1 through June 30 of the following
year; that the period from November first to February
first is the only period in which the student government
association can exercise the annual statutory prerogative
to eliminate or reduce the fee by majority vote; and
that the University of Washington Tacoma Campus Student
Technology Fee Committee will coordinate with the Student
Technology Fee Uniform Access Committee for the funding
of Uniform Access services. |
