NKU raises student fee, adds services

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS — The typical Northern Kentucky University student will pay an extra $44 in fees next year to fund a program designed to support student achievement.
Invest in Success is a $1.2 million initiative that will increase advising, academic support services, develop mental and first-year programs for students.
The money will be generated by a fee of $11 per credit hour in 1999-2000 and $13 per credit hour in 2000-2001.
Students, who now pay $10 per credit hour, worked with the administration to develop the fee structure.
“We took a lot of time and really discussed this issue,” student regent Gregory Mecher said at Wednesday's board of regents meeting. “(The process) developed an increase in trust between students and the administration.”
NKU's Student Senate overwhelmingly supported the increase.
“It doesn't hurt to start with the people you are trying to serve,” President James Votruba said.
