Current Fees Proposals in the 6/1 Tentative Agreement:
7: Fee and Tuition Waivers
Removal of fee/tuition waiver loophole that would have allowed UW to change eligibility requirements for fee waivers, or to impose new fees that are not “student imposed.” They also proposed a Letter of Understanding and Memoranda of Understanding related to fees (see below).
NEW MOU: Lump Sum Payment
Each ASE with a 50% FTE appointment would receive a lump sum of $100 each academic year (received in the first quarter they work that academic year).
NEW LOU: U-PASS Coalition Bargaining
We would be able to participate in coalition bargaining with 3 other unions on campus this summer over the cost of the U-PASS in the upcoming contract.

- Services & Activities Fee: $131 per quarter / $393 per academic year
