While the use of the tuition dollars would be decided in Tallahassee, the technology fee would be determined here and used in Gainesville. The FSA looked at the options and saw that, in terms of benefits, the technology fee would better serve the students. They did not outright support a technology fee. FSA said if the Board of Regents is willing to drop their request for a tuition increase, they would support the technology fee. In exchange, students would have equal say in how much the fee would be and where it would be spent.
Nobody wants to pay more for their education.
Confronted with a tough decision, FSA chose the option most beneficial to Florida's 200,000 students. All rights reserved.
