VII. STANDING COMMITTEES A. Academic and Student Affairs Committee Services and Activities Fee – University of Washington, Tacoma: 2015-16 Distribution of Fee and Allocation of Funds RECOMMENDED ACTION It is the recommendation of the administration and the Academic and Student Affairs Committee that the Board of Regents approve the following Services and Activities Fee proposals for the University of Washington, Tacoma:

1) no increase in the Services and Activities Fee for academic year 2015-16;

2) the distribution of Services and Activities Fee for 2015-16; and 3) the operating budgets and expenditures recommended for 2015-16.

BACKGROUND Services and Activities Fees (SAF) at UW Tacoma and UW Bothell are collected separately from the Services and Activities Fee at the Seattle campus, but the process is handled in like manner for each campus. As provided under RCW 28B.15.045, a student committee proposes the annual program priorities and budget allocation levels to the Board of Regents for approval. The Board of Regents has approved the Services and Activities Fee Guidelines that established the Services and Activities Fee Committee for UW Tacoma and its operating procedures. The Board of Regents is authorized to increase the Services and Activities Fee by an amount not to exceed the annual percentage increase in undergraduate tuition authorized by the legislature in the Omnibus Budget Bill.

2004-05 $ 97 2010-11 $149

• The committee requests that Student Engagement continue to assess student workers’ roles and justify the student worker budget. In future reports, we ask that you address and justify: * the total number of student work positions that are needed; * the number of “productive hours” that student workers are performing essential tasks or services; * how UW Y student positions, student engagement positions and YMCA positions complement one another, without being redundant, to support student users, specifically. * the ratio of coordinators and student assistants: the number of coordinators needs to be justified.• The committee also believes the Student Assistants need to be more visible and accessible to students using the University Y; currently students go through Student Engagement rather than being able to access facility services directly.

• The committee values the arts as an important part of campus life and believes that Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences is the more appropriate source for funds to develop the current student-driven theater program into a University initiative.• The SAF allocates money to the Campus Event Fund and Conference and Travel Fund specifically to support Registered Student Organizations. The Student Theater Guild can put in a request in Spring quarter for events the following academic year.


• The committee thinks the proposed bike shop is forward thinking; the fact that the service is student initiated is great and makes it a good candidate for future consideration. However, there is not yet evidence of a critical mass of students biking to campus: we encourage additional research to demonstrate the need for a program like this.• Additionally, the budget projections related to implementation are not sufficiently justified (e.g. construction costs, university vs. SAFC funding)The committee recommends that a future proposal for this program clarify how the revenue stream will be used, identify the administrative home for the service, and include documentation from UWT administration detailing the university’s support of the project and its

Chancellor Mark Pagano University of Washington Tacoma 1900 Commerce Street Box 358430 Tacoma, WA 98402

Dear Chancellor Mark Pagano:

The Services & Activities Fee Committee (SAFC) has discussed and approved recommendations regarding the collection and allocation of the UW Tacoma's Services & Activities Fee for the 2015-2016 fiscal year. This recommendation is the result of a lengthy process involving Committee trainings and orientations, proposal presentations and discussion of the long-term goals of the campus.

Should you and the University of Washington Board of Regents adopt our recommendations, the fee will optimally fund a diverse array of services and activities that are aligned with our core values and will benefit the students of the University of Washington Tacoma.

2015-2016 UW TACOMA SERVICES AND ACTIVITIES FEE BUDGET In consultation with UW Tacoma's Office of Finance and Administration, this year's committee projected $1,983,366 in revenue. This number is based on an enrollment of 4,158 FTE's and a Services and Activities Fee of $159 per quarter.

2015-2016 UW TACOMA SERVICES AND ACTIVITIES FEE The Board of Regents is authorized to increase the Services & Activities Fee by an amount not to exceed the annual percentage increase in undergraduate tuition authorized by the legislature in the Omnibus Budget Bill. The SAFC voted to maintain UW Tacoma's SAF at $159 per quarter for 2015- 2016.

The Committee would like to emphasize our concern with the current regulation that caps SAF increases to the rate of tuition increases. We are currently partnering with ASUWT to advocate for a change that would provide SAFCs more latitude in increasing fees by tying the cap on increases to a fiscal metric endorsed by the state (e.g. the fiscal growth factor, a specified consumer price index, etc). Although the Committee aims to keep fees reasonable and not burden students with additional educational costs, we also aspire to sustain critical services which may be difficult as our programs' costs increase- particularly in light of ongoing discussion about potential minimum wage increases at the University of Washington and/or in the City of Tacoma.

PROGRAM ALLOCATIONS When determining funding of program allocations, the Committee considered a variety of factors including, but not limited to, whether the service is or should be a core service and the level of benefit to students. The Committee also completed a line-by-line budget review of actual usage, projected expenditures, and staffing costs for each program. This was done in an effort to enhance fiscal efficiency and full use of SAF funds before increasing the amount allocated to any given program. Stipulations and recommendations on proposals are included in the attached SAFC 2015-2016 Annual Recommendations.

ATTACHMENT 2A–8.2/206-15 6/11/15

Page 1 of 4

The budget we are submitting is a revision to our original budget recommendation passed on March 18, 2015: our initial budget was revised to reflect the recent minimum wage increase to $11 per hour. Our Committee asked SAF-funded units to restructure their proposals to accommodate the $11increase and the potential $13 increase. Their revisions had a significant impact on the number of student employees and therefore an impact on the services these student employees and their department/program provide to the campus community.

Department of Student Engagement I $514,898 Student Engagement provides the majority of staffing and resources to administer and facilitate a wide variety of student involvement on campus. A large portion of Student Engagement's 2015-2016 budget is allocated for staffing as well as provide student programming at UW Tacoma.

Student Health Services I $305,048 Student Health Services (SHS) serves as a vital entity at this University, allowing students the opportunity to receive convenient, no-fee basic healthcare.

Diversity Resource Center I $202,052 The Diversity Resource Center is a service to the students, which strives to create a welcoming and inclusive environment that enables all members of the UW Tacoma community to learn through the exploration of human differences. The DRC provides programs and support in three main areas: enhancing campus education, developing community partnerships, and building a diverse campus community.

University Y and Dawg House (#1-Staffing & Operations) I $201,636 With the opening of the University Y Student Center and continued operations in the Dawg House Student Lounge, it is vital to provide spaces for students to socialize, connect with others, while studying and relaxing. The funds will be used for staffing and operational costs at both locations.

Conference & Event Fund I $140,000 The Committee supports funding for the Conference and Event Fund as it allows opportunities for students who are not directly involved with Registered Student Organizations to be involved in planning events for the campus.. Through this fund, students, faculty, and staff can submit a request for funding to bring a broad spectrum of activities to our campus for the benefit of students. The fund also supports students to attend conferences and training, which provide skill enhancement and enrichment.

Associated Students of the University of Washington Tacoma (ASUWT) I $134,414 The Associated Students of UW Tacoma represents and promotes student interests, needs, and welfare within the University community through committee representation and administrative-level interactions. It also provides for the expression of student opinion and interests to the community at large through involvement and assists the University in providing physical and social environments that are student-centered.

Student Publications I $131,574 This year, the allocated budget for Student Publications include both The Ledger, the campus student newspaper, and Tahoma West, the literary arts magazine. The Committee applauds Tahoma West with their "do more with much less" campaign, in light of last year's significant budget cuts for the program.

A–8.2/206-15 6/11/15

Page 2 of 4

Student Activities Board (SAB) I $127,208 The Committee recognizes the important role the Student Activities Board plays at this University and in our community. Diverse programming that promotes student involvement, provides opportunities to build a sense of student community, and activities deemed essential to student development and success. The amount allocated was decreased from the proposal amount due to the elimination of the Series Coordinator, which would have been responsible for Washington Wednesdays.

Childcare Assistance Program I $72,000 This program is important to this campus as it allows students with children to receive funding for childcare, which would then give student-parents space and time to attend classes and/or take advantage of campus programs and services.

Center for Service and leadership I $35,321 The Center for Service and Leadership provides leadership, personal and professional development for students through their participation and reflection in community engagement and opportunities. Consisting of Volunteer Services and Leadership Endorsement, CSL provides a wide range of experiences for students, based on their passion and commitment, while enhancing their leadership skills and community engagement.

Student Support Programs I $26,974 A newly-funded entity, Student Support Programs are a resource for new and returning students, departments, faculty, and staff that assisting with recruitment and retention activities, and help facilitate the experience of a broad spectrum of special need students, including underrepresented, veteran and military, first-generation, low income, and at-risk students.

University Y and Dawg House (#2 - Equipment) I $1SA79 With the feedback that was received from UW Tacoma students, faculty, and staff, this request is a one- time purchase that was not included in the Annual request (above). Items that would be purchased include additional furniture as requested by students and UW-branded podium, and a stage to provide a higher level of service for events. The Committee unanimously agreed to approve this proposal because of the equipment to be purchased can be rented to outside organizations, creating revenue for the University.

Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) I $14,000 Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) are an integral part of student and campus life. They provide opportunities for student involvement, camaraderie, and leadership development. RSOs also provide students with an opportunity to come together with people of similar interests, cultures, and viewpoints.

Student Theater Acting Guild I $0 The Student Theater Acting Guild (STAG), a registered student organization (RSO), submitted a proposal for support in creating theatricals on campus, include bringing in a professional playwright. This proposal was denied funding because it would then open the door for other clubs and organizations to come before this Committee to request funding. It was recommended that STAG submit a proposal through the Conference & Event Fund.

A–8.2/206-15 6/11/15

Page 3 of 4

ASUWT Bike Shop I $0 The Committee appreciates that the proposal for a bike shop at UW Tacoma was student-driven; however, the proposal was lacking sufficient evidence that it was needed on campus. Since a large population does not live within biking distance to the University, we are unsure that the shop will be heavily utilized. We encourage that a new proposal be submitted in the future when there is sufficient evidence and development of a plan.

Information Technology I $0 The proposal was for an .8 FTE IT employee to be stationed in the University Y Student Center. Because the building is still new and Student Center Events staff is trained on how to handle the equipment, the Committee felt that because the building is still new and Student Center Events staff is trained on how to handle equipment, it was unnecessary.

STIPULATIONS ON SAF FUNDING AWARDS The Committee placed stipulations on the funds allocated to programs to ensure SAF resources are utilized responsibly and that the SAFC can better gauge the impact its fee allocations have on UW Tacoma students. Stipulations that are specific to a program or service are detailed in the attached budget spreadsheet. In addition, we placed the following general stipulations on all recipients of SAF funds:

• Report(s) to the SAFC, including request for continued funding in 2016-2017, should include

details about program's efforts to collaborate with other campus offices to develop, promote, and sponsor programs for UW Tacoma students.

• Report(s) to the SAFC, including requests for continued funding in 2016-2017, should indicate the number of unduplicated students that attended SAF-funded programs and/or utilizes SAF- funded services. It should also include a demographic breakdown of the students the program(s) or service(s) impact.

• Funded entities must request changes to the line-item allocations specified in their 2015-2016 budgets through the SAFC, per the guidelines.

• The Committee requests that funded entities indicate which programs and/or services are being made possible by the Services and Activities Fee by including the statement "This program/service is being made possible by UWT's Services and Activities Fee" on all advertisements, reports, promotional materials, etc. The Committee plans to provide SAF funding recipients with a SAF logo that you can instead of, or in addition to, this attribution.
