Broadcaster Press 15 October 13, 2015 www.broadcasteronline.com Dave Says SDSU Wants New Approach To Paying For Food Facilities business council. “They’re willing to let SDSU go first because this is not an easy change,” Monte Kramer said. He is system vice president for finance and administration. “I think they’re going to wait and see how this plays out. Nobody thought this was a bad idea,” Kramer said. SDSU students on meal plans currently pay the additional fee of $188.80 per semester. Campus officials calculate those students would save approximately $200 annually under the change. Students who aren’t on meal plans would pay an additional $177 if they are full-time undergraduates and $141.60 if they are full-time graduate students. The change would more fairly spread the costs of food services being generally available in student union facilities, according to Doug Wermedel, SDSU vice president for student affairs. He said the current fee is similar to four houses along a street and only three of the house owners paying for the street. None of the regents spoke against trying the different approach at SDSU. “I think it would behoove us to have more pilots,” regent Terry Baloun of Sioux Falls said. BY BOB MERCER STATE CAPITOL BUREAU ABERDEEN – South Dakota State University officials want to charge all students a fee that pays for utilities and bonding costs for student food service facilities. Currently only students who buy campus meal plans pay the fee. The state Board of Regents gave preliminary approval to the change Thursday.

All debts sent to the center are to carry an additional 20 percent surcharge as a collection fee. Debtors while listed on the center’s system also can’t obtain or renew driver licenses, vehicle registrations, hunting or fishing licenses, or state park and camping permits. The Legislature at the suggestion of Gov. Dennis Daugaard authorized establishment of the recovery center this year. Officials in the governor’s Bureau of Administration have been working to get it set up. The new law gives to state universities the option of using the recovery center. The regents’ $500 policy would be a major change of policy in support of the governor and the center. The regents currently have a two-level policy in place with $100 as the threshold amount. The current policy allows university officials to decide whether to turn uncollected debts of less than $100 over to private collection agencies. For debts of $100 or more, the current policy calls for the universities to use collection agencies. Under the proposed new policy with $500 as the threshold, the regents would give broader leeway. They want universities to be able to continue referring debts of less than $500 to collectors rather than the recovery center. “That remains to be seen,” said Monte Kramer. He is vice for finance and administration for the regents. He told the board that the majority of uncollected debts run in the range of $400 to $500 and frequently result from students walking away from a course after the withdrawal deadline has passed. The universities already have an enforcement mechanism for debts of $50 or more. They place a hold on student activities such as enrolling for a new semester and getting transcripts. The recovery center debts would be for money owed directly to a state university. Student-loan debts wouldn’t be covered. Regent John Bastian of Belle Fourche said he’s not a fan of the new sanctions in the recover-center law. Bastian, a retired circuit judge, said people need their driver licenses to get to work and school. The law doesn’t provide for work and school permits. He said it is especially punitive because of the lack of public transportation in much of South Dakota. Bastian wondered whether the regents could get more leeway. “I think we’re stuck,” he said. “If we can raise it to $500, maybe we can raise it to $1,000.” 3 6 2 3 1 9 8 BY BOB MERCER STATE CAPITOL BUREAU 6 8 8 1 3 Check next Tuesday’s paper for 8 8497216 6 2 6 the solution to today’s puzzle. * Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and 7 1 5 174 5 business.
