In an effort to finance a $250 million renovation of academic buildings, a $7-per-credit-hour fee will be assessed to students starting in the 2012 academic year. The measure will increase to a maximum of $24 per credit hour by 2016. The Kent State Board of Trustees approved the fee during its Wednesday board meeting.

Even though students didn’t learn the information first-hand, students from freshman to seniors had an opinion on it.
