Following their initial review, nine organizations have been asked to participate in fee hearings: Athletics, Instructional Computers, the Department of Student Involvement, student center operations, Campus Facilities Maintenance, fine arts, Dixie Sun News, student ID cards and student inclusion. Furthermore, any fee steward who has requested a change in their fees will be given a hearing. Following the decision for DSU to go to Division 1 , the SEE FEES PAGE 2 |
