University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill trustees agreed to cut the student health fee by twenty dollars after controversy arose surrounding use of the monies. Fox News reports:
Campus and statewide university system leaders agreed this spring to cut $20 from the $436 health fee charged each student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill this year. The cut taking effect in August comes after members of the state university system’s governing board questioned why the health fee was used for sexual advice “sexperts” and employees working on “diversity initiatives.”
The fees used to pay for stage theater skits about racism, homophobia and sexual assault — including one titled “Orgasm? Yes, Please!” — were to cover student health needs and not promote diversity or social advocacy, said Steven Long, a Raleigh tax attorney appointed to the University of North Carolina’s Board of Governors last year.
Officials became curious about the size of the school’s health fee as it’s significantly larger than that of other state institutions. East Carolina’s fee is two hundred dollars less than UNC’s, for example.
