Why we need to increase?  Higher fixed costs such as insurance, travel expenses, printing, benefits, compared with last year  Funding resources are steadily being depleted and the current trend is for the increased cost for education to shift from college to student (by method of fee assessment)  To allow for future investment

Fixed cost increased  Please see the attachments, page 4

Examples of the shift from College to Students  Technology improvements  Technology investment  Co-curricular service learning  Staffing for Student Programs  Advisor stipends (Ebbtide, Spindrift, PTK)

Future Investment  Allow for holistic and transformative learning opportunities  Co-curricular & Service Learning Example:1st Annual SCC King Day of Service -Please see the provided attachment, Page 5  Replace extra curricular event coordinator

Summary  Overall expenditures will be increasing  With the current SS&A Fee rate, we can not provide the services that out students are looking for and need  Focus on co-curricular service learning  As part of an educational institution, if our learning outcomes change, we will need to adjust our educational services as well to meet the demand  However, the school is currently not able to provide those services by itself because of funding challenges. This year, the students and the college are moving towards providing our students with collaborative solutions.
