[La-cgs] Act 664/SB76

[Christopher Bonvillain]

We are trying to determine exactly what Act 664/SB76 entails.  This is the
Fees Assessed to Graduate Assistants policy:

*Student fees may be waived and a stipend may be paid to graduate
assistants.  The out-of-state fee is considered a student fee and is
eligible for waiver (Board Rules, Chapter II, Section XV).*

*Payments to cover or a waiver of any mandatory fee imposed except for
tuition shall be included in the compensation package of each graduate
student serving as a teaching assistant, research assistant, or curatorial
assistant (LRS 17:3351(A)(5)(a)(ii)). *

I was wondering what everyone was doing to address this bill.  Does this
mean that if graduate students have any fees waived, the university or PI
has to come up with the funds for the waived fees?
