(1) ----- from Trip Kirkpatrick <[log in to unmask]> --- >My questions: >Does your school charge language students a standard fee for the langauge lab/ >language center? > David: Yale does not charge student lab fees. They don't seem to make a lot of sense to me, but that opinion probably serves more to flaunt my naivete than anything else. Best, Trip -- Trip Kirkpatrick Interim Manager, Technology and Project Development Center for Language Study e: [log in to unmask] w: http://www.cls.yale.edu/ skype/twitter: tripst3r Any opinions expressed here are mine alone. If Yale wanted my opinion, they'd tell me what it was. (2) from [log in to unmask] David, At the University of Regina, there used to be lab fees, but these were discontinued in the late 90s (prior to my arrival). I believe part of the issue was that the university charged these fees, but they were not distributed as they should have been. Good luck, Deanne (3) from [log in to unmask] Here at the University of North Texas every student who takes a foreign language class pays a lab fee. It covers all the Lab expenses except my salary-and I'm the only salaried employee. The Lab gets all the money and I have complete control. I add up all our expenses, including our depreciation schedule, and then divide it by the number of students we expect to enroll for the year. Right now our semester fee is $8.24-but we had almost 8000 students enrolled fiscal 2007-08. Email me if you'd like more information.
