Mr. Kozack discussed the idea of affiliates, where, in terms of student services and facilities, full-time UC students could be affiliated to a residential college. The committee also noted that housing is not covered for any student by the fees under discussion. The committee agreed that housing was a separate issue from that of equity in fee services. Availability of services supported by fees One of the major equity issues considered by the committee is whether UC students have equal access to services. Mr. Kozack noted that, in terms of extended hours of service, many departments have experimented with remaining open in the evening, particularly at key busy times.
Many offices are open late at night during the first weeks of the semester.
Mr. Kozack felt that big breakthroughs in extending service will be due to application of technology on the ways that services are provided. The committee agreed that there should be equity in availability and access of services. It was felt, based on the statistical patterns in the data, that most full-time University College students have access to services covered by the fees. However, there are details that need to be worked out to assure equity of services. For example, the issue was raised of UC governing associations servicing large numbers of full-time students being able to get rooms in the student centers they are helping to support, on all three campuses.
