On Feb. 21, GSS passed a resolution which supports the increase of the Student Legal Services fee from $7 to $9 to students.
According to a memorandum, “GSS recognizes that the office of Student Legal Services at BGSU are valuable and at a low cost to students and also understands that the office of Student Legal Services is entirely funded through an opt-out fee at the rate of $7 to BGSU students per semester.”
Students must opt-out of the fee each year if they don’t want to use Student Legal Services.
Approached by the office of Student Legal Services, GSS agreed to support the increase in the funding.
In a previous issue of The BG News, an article states that USG also passed the resolution unanimously, with three abstained votes on March 2.
