Fees are unfair

I find it hard to believe the Student Recreational Sports Center (SRSC) and the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation (HPER) are short on funds during the summer months. Of course I realize employees need to be paid, facilities need to be managed, etc., but each year nearly 36,000 students at IU, who are enrolled in three or more credit hours, pay a $117.74 activity fee where $37.46 of that is routed directly to RecSports. That's a whopping $1,348,560. You can't tell me a business that makes over a million each year up-front, whose services aren't necessarily even used by the consumers, isn't making a decent profit. Besides, it seems as if the majority of the classes offered have extra fees attached. \nIf technology fees can carry over, so should activity fees. I imagine a computer is more costly to fix than a treadmill. And what about students who drop a class after the first week of the session and are withdrawn for the summer? Students only get refunded for half the cost of the class and activity fees. Where does the money go that the University keeps? Shouldn't that pay for the occasional workout? \nIn addition, according to the IU Division of RecSports Web site, a weekly pass to the SRSC is $21 and $14 for the HPER for students who are not enrolled in classes. A day pass is $5.50 for the SRSC and $3.50 for the HPER for the same students. Where did these numbers come from? If students pay the mandatory $37.46, which is the necessary amount needed to fund the facilities, then why in the world would someone pay these outrageous amounts? The same Web page states, "The SRSC is funded primarily with a mandatory student fee; therefore, all registered students have an automatic membership." \nWell, I am registered for the fall semester. Shouldn't I be able to go workout?
