University of Illinois Springfield students will vote later this month on whether to increase student fees to build a student union on the UIS campus.
“The student union is the primary intersection and the living room of a campus,” said Derek Felix, the UIS student representative on the U of I board of trustees and co-chairman of the project.
The student-driven proposal would be funded by an increase in fees of up to $200 per semester for full-time students and $100 per semester for part-time ones. A referendum on the proposal will be held in conjunction with the UIS Student Government Association elections April 28-29.
Voting takes place online through the UIS homepage at www.uis.edu.
The student center proposal was feature in a April 16, 2010, article in the State Journal-Register.
