"I love our locker room as it is right now, but it definitely needs an upgrade, seeing as how we need to go downstairs to take a shower," she said. "It shows that (the university) actually really cares about all the athletic programs. It's nice for the university to show their athletes that even though it's a D3 school, they can have everything (they) need."
Funds committed by students will come from student segregated fees. According to the bill, this donation will not increase these fees by more than fifty cents for two years and a dollar for four years.
"I think it's a good step in the right direction in showing the community that we're willing to give back to them," Sen. Jake Johnson said at the March 3 meeting.
The money donated by the foundation will come out of unrestricted funds it received from alumni donations over the years, Way said. The foundation can determine how to use this money at its discretion.
Freshman Tara Stefan said she's never been to the arena before but knows athletes that use the facility. She said she doesn't have a problem with segregated fees being raised a bit.
"I'd say it's Okay as long as the fees aren't out of control," Stefan said. "As long as people know what it's going towards and it's benefiting an organization."
