Starting at 2pm today (Thursday), members of UTM’s Quality Services for Students, the body which reviews all non-academic incidental fees such as athletics and shuttle services, will vote on funding for the UTM Wellness Centre. If passed, the measure will see the incidental fees rise to $150 a year from the current $25. The increase is necessary to offset the unexpected rise in costs surrounding the centre, which has yet to break ground. The centre will house a number of athletics and health-related facilities when completed.
Though there are only six votes to be cast, SAC UTM representative Mohammed Hashim is urging as many students to come out to the meeting as possible. “I want people to see how everyone votes,” said Hashim. “A lot of decisions have been made behind closed doors on this.”
The meeting and vote will be held at UTM’s Student Centre.
