22 Feb. Meeting Minutes

Discussed questions and comments for the ABOR meeting. SIRLS is requesting a fee increase and student groups support the increase:
* SIRLS is the 2nd largest graduate program in SBS.
* SIRLS obtains very little benefit from the UA fee and tuition hikes.
* SIRLS serves Hispanic and Native Americans.
* KR has 105 graduate students.
* SIRLS needs to stay funded so that it can stay accredited.
* The UA tuition and fee hikes will not benefit SIRLS directly.
