Were you aware of the Grad Center's plan to increase fees by $24 per year to cover expenses for the Wellness Center? What are your feelings on this?

Hyewon Yi, Art History Yes – I received a campus email. Of course, I'm not happy about it. But it is important since many of us have no health insurance. It is important to save [the Wellness Center] but students shouldn't have to pay for it.

Maggie Dickinson, Anthropology No, I wasn't. I have mixed feelings. It's annoying because it seems like the welfare of the students should be a higher priority, especially with the health care crisis in the US. But it's still an essential service.

Rave Harpaz, Computer Science Yes, I am. I don't think it's a lot of money and I'm not really concerned about it. As long as it's for good purposes, $24 is not that much.

Patrick Inglis, Sociology No, I wasn't. But I'm from Canada where we have universal health care. I don't mind paying into that…but what do we get [for the increased fee]?

Jessica Hammerman, History Yes – I think it's fine, in order to save the Wellness Center. It's a necessary thing since a lot of students don't have health insurance. It could be an optional fee, only for those who might need it.

Laura Morris, Political Science Yes – I don't understand why the school doesn't pay for this. Why is it hoisted off on students? What do we get for our fees – just paper? We just recently got a printer in Political Science…
