Transmitted to the Governor

Overview

Directs a public university that allocates student fee monies to support the activities of university-recognized student organizations or clubs to provide each student with a reasonable opportunity to select student organizations or clubs that may not receive the student's pro rata share of the monies.

History

A public university is prohibited from transferring any student tuition or fees or using any university student billing process to collect monies for an organization that is not under the jurisdiction of the Arizona Board of Regents nor recognized as a university student organization. A public university may establish and support student government and university-recognized student organizations and clubs, as well as provide support for these student groups from student tuition and fees (A.R.S. § 15-1626.01).
