The
Student Government Association (SGA) will seek to change the process
for student input on tuition and fees at Appalachian State University
in the coming semester.
“There are campuses in the [University of
North Carolina] system that search out a higher level of student
input than Appalachian,” SGA President Ryan M. Eller said Thursday.
“That’s very disappointing to me. Ever since I’ve
been here at Appalachian, we’ve talked about how much we value
student opinion and student leadership.”
