yeeep. to be fair on the lazy river thing the students voted on the fee increase that went to it so im fine with it in that regard. the optics still arent great but i get where it was coming from.

Well one issue on that front is that, the students who are voting on the measure are not the students that are going to keep paying for it.


For example, when I was going Nicholls 99-2003, there was no organized student recreation center. They finally passed a student assessment fee for it in my junior year that went into effect my senior year.

So, I paid a fee for a new student recreation center that was yet to be built. It took them several years to finalize plans and construct it. Since I was a commuter, I would have never used it.
