[comp.edu] Student Fees for Computer Use

berman@pilot.njin.net (A. Michael Berman) (10/08/90)

There is currently discussion on our campus regarding adding
some kind of lab fee (for computer-using courses) or computer
tax (for all students) to support computer services.

I would appreciate as many responses as possible to the
following questions:

1.	Does your school impose any computer charges directly
	on students?

If the answer to #1 is "NO" skip to question 3.

2.	Which of the following fees are imposed, and how high
	are they:

	a.	Computer-using courses have lab fees 

	b.	Fee per use, e.g. for printing 

	c.	Computer tax on all students

	d.	Students must buy a computer 

	e.	Other (please describe)

3.	Have fees such as described above been considered on
	your campus?  What arguments have been advanced for/against?

4.	Any other comments

Please mail your reply to berman@glassboro.edu (...njin!gboro!berman)
Thanks for responding.  I will summarize the results to comp.edu.
