Brief excerpts:
. . . The Office of Student Affairs will bill each of the approximately 900 students living in on-campus Greek houses a $255 service fee.
Because residents of Greek houses do not pay university room and board, their yearly cost of attendance does not include certain services still available to them.
“Student Affairs has determined that the cost should be shared by everyone who lives on campus, including students who live in fraternities and sororities,” said . . . the associate vice president and dean of student affairs.
Previously, residential hall room and board covered all salaries and benefits of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, shuttle service, on-campus police services and sexual assault services . . . .
“Because students living in fraternities and sororities will be contributing, the money we save will stay in the residential hall and residential college system to compensate for rising costs” . . . .
