Student Activities Funds Student activities funds are comprised of three main functions: the Services and Activities fees, Student Union and Recreation Center (SURC) fees, and Recreation Center fees. The student activities funds carry debt as part of the CWU System, and much of the revenues are derived from student fees intended to service the debt related to the SURC. A portion of the Services and Activities fee, which is a component of tuition, goes to service the SURC debt, but the majority funds student-centered programming. Expense drivers for the student activities funds include staff FTE, wage rates, and a considerable number of student employees, as well. The expansion of recreation facilities now open has put some additional pressure on expenses going forward. While there have been very few fee increases in this fund group, the Recreation Fee has been increased by $15 per quarter per Ellensburg student.
Below is a summary of the operating results for the student activities funds, noting that vacancy rates play a role in the FY 2020 wage and benefit budget here as well.
