[Lcta] [EXTERNAL] [SPAM] Do you receive 522 funding?

[Taylor, Janice (Tutoring Services)]

Hi Ariel,

Tutoring at Clark College has a dedicated instructional budget and has never been funded through student fees.  However, several years ago we did put in a request for funding from our Tech Fee to support the tutors and staff that work in the centers and help students with computer related issues and such since all of our centers are also computer labs.  Tech Fee is student money and is voted on by students, it already supported lab aides in all the other computer labs on campus.  Our request was approved and has been approved every year since.  So indirectly, we are also receiving a stipend from student fees for that portion of our services.

Hello Learning Center Colleagues,

My name is Ariel Wetzel, and I'm the director of the Writing & Reading Center at Green River College. We learned recently that our Associated Student government would no longer be supporting tutoring centers through 522 funds. 522 funds are a "[l]ocal fund maintained by colleges and universities to account for locally approved student body activities" (WA Office of Financial Management). At Green River College, the Writing & Reading Center, Tutoring & Resource Center, and Math Learning Center were funded through 522 in addition to a permanent instructional budget.

Our student government cited that our peer institutions were no longer funding tutoring through 522 funds. I wanted to reach out and do my own research. Are your centers partially funded through 522 / student activity fees? I would appreciate any information you're able to share to bring back to my college.

Thank you,
Ariel
