I agree with The Daily Collegian's opinion on the facility fee and would like to ask the university how it knows that the figure of $200 is justified. Since the cost of education continues to rise already without these arbitrary and capricious additional fees, the university should first examine what activity revenues and surpluses are already available, how they are being spent, what remains unused and how that can be redistributed or returned to the students.

Additional fees are just like taxes. Once they are levied, they have a tendency to never go away.
