We have not started this discussion yet but we have some fees
designated as "mandatory" which do not include energy surcharge,
technology fee, etc. I assume we will be covering the "mandatory
fees". We have three categories -- RA's, TA's, and GA's. I think we
will do this by a variety of mechanisms -- for RA's, we already
build tuition + mandatory fees into grant budgets (if the funding
agency will allow). For TA's, we may follow the same mechanism
Sanjay outlines. Our GA's will not get a fee waiver.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Nancy,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The current procedure at LSUS is to grant a
waiver of the tuition when the GA form is processed. No
separate payments are made – the account balance is simply
reduced by the amount of the tuition. . I am guessing the
same procedure will be followed when the fee waiver goes into
effect in 2024. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have four categories of GAs - Teaching
Asst, Research Asst, Service Asst, & GA – No tuition
Waiver. The first three will get the waiver.
