<p>This is what I read:
“The fees, which are used for supplies, software and teaching assistants, will be replaced with designated tuition that will vary from college to college. Students will see up to a 2 percent increase in those charges. Provost Karan Watson previously said the changes will keep revenue streams for the colleges intact and that the slight raise to students is to offset a state law that requires 20 percent of designated tuition be set aside for financial aid for need-based students. Some of the students in attendance at the meeting critiqued the move as wealth redistribution.”
