University System of Georgia Chancellor Erroll Davis will recommend on Tuesday a continuation of the $100 special spring fee for the fall semester. It will be recommended to extend into spring 2010 as well.

Student Government Association-elect executives teleconferenced with Davis and his staff on Friday afternoon about the upcoming Board of Regents meeting, which will take place Tuesday and Wednesday of this week in Atlanta.

“We as students should be as prepared as possible to face any financial burdens that affect our education, and that is why we, as the Student Government Association, are making it available as soon as we learn it,” Cameron Secord, vice president-elect of SGA, said to The Red & Black on behalf of the executive members Friday afternoon.

“We will continue to keep you updated as new information becomes available.”

The Regents can approve the recommendation or possibly increase or decrease the fee amount. To make the decision, the Board of Regents is suspending a policy that requires student fee increases to first be approved by a committee composed of 50 percent students.

An agenda for the Tuesday meeting also suggests a suspension of the “Fixed for Four” policy, which was established in 2006 and guarantees the same tuition amount for a student’s four years of college.
