UPDATE: Fresno State postpones meeting on fee-hike proposal
The nine-member Campus Fee Advisory Committee postponed a meeting today to discuss a proposal to help the university's financially troubled intercollegiate athletic program by increasing students' activity fees.
Students, in a nearly 2-to-1 margin, voted down the fee increase last week. The committee can make a recommendation or remain neutral.
Stephen Trembley, executive vice president in the student government, said the committee wanted to allow for a 14-day window for students to challenge the vote. The meeting is now expected to take place early next week.

This committee should go along with the students and not increase the fees. It is unfair to place the athletic problems of the university on the back of the students. At UCDavis the students voted to increase fees--but entirely for intramural sports, not the big time things. That is what the majority of the students need.
They need to bring back wrestling at Frsno State. The students already increase their fee's in the 1999 vote. The increase was going to help save sports. But instead they took the money and dropped soccer, wrestling, cross country, and swimming.
