 Fee Measures
    Compulsory campus-based fees may be established, eliminated, or modified in an election in which a majority (50% + 1) of a minimum voting pool of twenty-five percent (25%) of the overall* affected student body (according to official third week enrollment figures) votes to approve or to modify the fee. The imposition of a compulsory fee passed by referendum is subject to concurrence of the Chancellor and approval of the President.

      *Undergraduate students for undergraduate-only measures; graduate students for graduate-only measures; undergraduate and graduate students for combined measures.

    Abstentions will not count toward the establishment of minimum voting pool requirements. The establishment of the minimum voting pool will be determined on an individual basis for each measure on the ballot (i.e. the sum of "yes" and "no" votes on each individual measure must equal or exceed the minimum voting pool required).
