[Korn]

The compulsory fees that we pay, what are they actually used for and what services do they provide? Does anyone know where this info can be found?

Ask Jon - he'd definately know. There are probably some huge lists somewhere, but I can't be bothered looking cause I still have so much work to do that I haven't finished this week.

Cape's info is correct. The legislative changes will alter this, universities can be fined millions if they impose compulsory fees on students for activities of this nature (VSU). The best people I can direct you to is the Student Finance Unit, contact UWS info line and ask for an extension to someone there. They deal with payments and the like.

i remember it somewhere,

80% of the fee goes to UWS connect and 20% goes to UWSSA

UWS Connect for the sport, leisure, and food services.

UWSSA for the advocacy, print services, unions etc.

oh, I have already paid them, but was wondering what the fees do, like I have seen a list of what Usyd gets and was wondering what would be affected specifically by VSU

hmmm...if thats true i think its silly...

i get a feeling that the students who really need the subsidies they provide would much rather more computer access and cheaper photocopies than a few extra games of soccer and pub crawls...

should be more close to 50/50 i think....

 

[klh]

also that child care on campus maybe? at c'town?
go to the uwssa and ask for one of their earlier copies of the western onion, i think thats where theone123 got his info coz it says the same on the paper.

They have child care facilities at Hawkesbury. They get play equipment not fair, i wanna play on the equipment
