The Contemporary Student Center: Challenges at Metropolitan Universities
As the student center movementto upgrade, expand, or acquire a new facilitycontinues in the new millennium, metropolitan institutions, in particular, are finding that their unique circumstances often challenge their ability to keep pace with their nonmetropolitan counterparts. This research presents the results of a study of the role of student fees in funding student center renovation and expansion projects. Findings suggest some differences between metropolitan and nonmetropolitan universities in the planned pace of renovations, although the funding approaches and practices among these types of institutions are not significantly different.
