Solicited Student Statements
PRO
“Students are investing in a better future for the next generations that promote students' well-being through many opportunities/resources.”
“The Wellness and Recreation facility will serve as a social hub, facilitating interactions among students from diverse backgrounds and fostering a sense of community and belonging.”
“Promotes upward growth on campus to become a powerful institution in terms of the number of facilities we have on campus.”
“Expands opportunities for students by having more space to have workshops, events, and wellness opportunities that can change the trajectory of student success in a positive way.”
“Gives students another location to relax and escape the stress of school.”
“Creates a home for Campus Recreation and adds desperately needed fitness and recreational spaces for programs.”
CON
“The fee increase will be a financial burden on many students. CSUSM has many students who rely on financial aid, housing support, and other resources to afford their education. By adding a significant increase to their tuition, this only harms those students who deserve an education at as little cost as possible.”
“Some students may not be able to afford this additional cost, especially with the tuition increase. Students may also be unsure / unaware of where their money is going towards.”
“With the fee increased, we will find more students struggling to pay for college, which makes them work more and not have time to spend quality time in this facility.”
“Construction location could cause more traffic on the road near it.”
“Limited parking near facility will impact access for students living off-campus.”
“Noise and path disruptions from construction will impact students.”
