Uncharted territory... One step at a time

Lengthy process to raise the student health fee

Last semester, students voted and approved a measure to increase the student health fee, which hasn’t been increased since 1998.

However, the LACCD has yet to implement the measure, which has left some faculty members upset.

Director of the Health Center Benne said that the Student Health Center is currently in a deficit, and that raising the student health fee would provide much needed services for students.

“We can help these kids, we can do this. But we cant do it without money,” Benne said. “It’s frustrating that this process of raising the fee is so slow.”
