              CFArep says fee violates state law
The California State University Board
has violated state law by
.posing a $64 fee on CSU students, said
:er Rolh, CSUF campus representa-
of the Congress of Faculty A&socia-
Roth, I
Using student fees to finance instruc¬
tion is prohibited under the provisions of
the Assembly Concurrent Resolution
No.88, also known as the Donahoe Act of
1960, Roth said.
That resolution said fees may be
charged to cover service not directly
related to instruction,., such as health,
placement services arte! recreation.
The quc-stmnv'd.it'gality ■.. i the let- in
le has already prompted,
in San Diego, which was filed last
Rob DeKoven, said Curtis Richards, legi
:kby
iative director of the California State Stu
dent Association.
DeKoven, the San Diego State Student
Body President in 1979-80. could not be
reached for comment.
The court case may be based upon
provisions in the Donahoe Act which dif-
ferentSaf.es between fees and tuition as
"student charges lor teaching expense."
Roth said teaching expense'may be one
area that money generated from the fee
increase will b*> distributed to.
"Clearly they have collected money for
tuition." Roth said. "They have,not col
lected money for fees."
CSUF Budget Director BSI Coughran
said the $15 million generated,will be
placed in a general fund and distributed
where needed, perhaps even to instruc¬
tion costs. He said there is noway to trace
where the money goes.
"To me, what we're into now is tuition,"
Coughran said.

U Fretfl©       Duekmejian   has   proposed  another
$230 fee increase for his 1983-84 state
budget. If approved, it will raise CSUF
fees to $356 for the fall '83 semester.
Students system-wide were charged
the $64, although total fees vary from
campus to campus, according to the
Chancellor's office and a Daily
Collegian survey.
Each campus sets different amounts
for the College Union, Instructional^ Re¬
