- 0:01 Yeah, gains.
- 0:02 I think it's a very interesting way to think about it.
- 0:04 Um I think f for the most part, most students use a form of a service provided by the university here at big schools.
- 0:19 Um whether that's you know, using the gym, using, you know, the the fields, like the public fields, uh using the bus, um, or any other type of transportation.
- 0:33 Um, you know, I think rather than having specific fees for each of these things, it it should just be grouped into like a general um service fee, which yes, some of the people who don't use the buses may feel like their money's going to waste, but there are things that the university provides that they use that other students don't use.
- 0:54 And I'm sure there's cost cutting that can be done all around in these services, but at the end of the day, a lot of them are are necessary for a small proportion of the students.
- 1:07 So that's probably why the school feels justified that they can charge these fees for these things, but um I think at the end of the day, everyone uses uh service that's provided by the school in in some capacity.
- 1:20 So it's hard to say they're redistributing wealth, just kind of providing a variety of resources for its students.
