Effective April 26, 2006, San José State University is authorized to

the higher rate will also include set design materials such as drapery fabric,
wood, metal, plastics, paint and brushes, color media, equipment enhancements
and repairs, video tapes, DVD's, multi-media production materials and software.
Revenue collected from miscellaneous course fees is to be deposited either in
the General Fund or in a local trust account, depending on the nature of the fee.
In accordance with Education Code Section 89721(g), revenue collected may be
deposited in a local trust account where the fee is required of those persons who,
at their option, use the services or facilities, or are provided the materials,
for which the fee is collected. In other words, if the student has the option to
procure the service or materials for which the fee is charged on the open market
or some other way separate from the university and still fulfill the requirements
of the university, the revenue may be deposited in trust. Revenue so deposited
shall be used solely to meet the costs of providing these services, materials, and
facilities. Otherwise, in accordance with Section 89724(a) of the Education Code,
revenue collected from miscellaneous course fees shall be deposited in the State
Treasury and credited to the General Fund for the support of the university in
addition to such other amounts as may be appropriated therefor by the Legislature. |
