STUART StaffWriter The deans and Provost Donald DeRosa have requested a plan that would equal-is* student fees for undergraduate and graduate students. At present, students pay fees based on a full time enrollment of 12 hours for undergraduate and nine hours for gradu-ate students.

Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs JamesAllen mirrors DeRosa's sentiment. "The [fee] discrepancy places graduate students at a disadvantage as compared to undergraduates," Allen said. Under the proposed plan, undergradu-ate and graduate students wfll pay the same amount offees per hour taken. The new plan would allow for a proportional distribution. The premise for the plan is not to re-duce programs or raise rates, but to use exitingmoney to fill the gap, according to DeRosa. The new plan will leave the school with a loss of income of$308,000, according to Associate Vice Chancellor for Finance Philip Richman. Richman said that the lost revenue will be made up for by fund balances and increased enrollment. Sur-plus from the past will balance the lost revenue. Richman believes that more students will apply to UNCO due to new affordability. "The plan has been warranted for sev-eral years," Richman said. Graduate Dean Brad Bartell says that the new plan wfll specifically affect the students at the masters level. Many ofthe masters students are part time students that work.
