Recreation Facilities and Programming Fee at OSU

The students at the Ohio State University have been paying for an additional, mandatory fee called Recreation Facilities and Programming Fee. The schedule for this particular fee, subject to the approval of the Board of Trustee, is as following:

Winter 2005 and before: $0
Spring 2005: $12
Summer 2005: $42
Autumn 2005: $42
Winter 2006: $42
Spring 2006: $42
Summer 2006 and later: $76

This fee is an additional, mandatory to every student who enrolls four credit hours and more in a quarter. With this fee, you get to use top-notch (although not fully finished) recreation facilities in the Columbus campus.

I was wondering for a while whether the OSU is a educational institute, or a gym. This fee should be optional for those who would like to use the gym. Believe me, those gyms will be very great when they finished. Posting the fee as mandatory is unreasonable and shows little thinking to the different need of each and every student.

Same logic should also be applied to the on campus parking. Everyone has to pay, say $300 a quarter, and everyone gets to park on campus. I am sure there are a lot of other possibilities.

Aren't you glad that you are going to graduate soon?
