It was confirmed by the music DGS and chair that the department does not receive any portion of the SSF.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Music
2. No, I pushed with the Humanities Dean's Student Advisory Board for more clarity after they mentioned a significant surplus had been amassed over the years (in terms of several $100,000s...) and they were unwilling to lower the fee to be in accordance with their needs. Also, two years ago, the Grad Student Council pushed for clarity around the fee and the university administration brought in their legal team to avoid action.

1. Cinema and Media Studies
2. Our dept. pays full $416/quarter. No clarity about what is covered.
3. No known penalties

3. no
4.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Anthro
2. Haven't paid, and wasn't assessed a fine (though I have been fined $100 in the past)
3. No consequences other than passive aggressive messages from Brett Baker. I'm still able to access library resources and student health services.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Divinity phd
2. I've heard that part of it goes to the Divinity Students Association (our student government)
3. No

1. Music, 4th year
2. not specifically; general ideas about "student health" access and access to gyms
3. there used to be a late fee assessed/threatened if you didn't pay
4. a. solidarity with undergraduate/college students who pay the exact same student life fee. organize with SOUL?
b. not sure where the research is in terms of getting hard data about the student life fees, but maybe we could email Odessa Simms,

Director of Budget Operations for Campus and Student Life, (773) 702-1505, osimms@uchicago.edu about the exact breakdown of the student life fee (what pot it goes into, where those funds go--eg, other pots that the funds fill up, like Grad Council, HDGSC, etc. etc. let alone the pots of Ratner/the gym/Student Health)

# data[].attributes.body
1. CompLit
2. I have no idea what it goes to, I assumed student health services.
3. I paid it in full, but I and others in the dept are interested in withholding it, esp bc several people are living overseas for the foreseeable future.

# data[].attributes.body
1. RLL 2. No idea. 3. Not being able to register, limited library access?, etc. However I've not paid before and not been penalized until the quarter after (ie when I owed 2x, at which point I couldn't check out a book).

# data[].attributes.body
1. Anthro
2. Not specifically. From a 9/15 Brett Baker email: "The fee covers many services dedicated to providing and promoting educational, social, cultural, and recreational programs for all students throughout the year, including student health and wellness, recreational facilities and activities, and student programming. Student support services through UChicagoGRAD and Campus and Student Life are also supported by the fee. A portion of the student services fee is administered directly by students through student-driven activities and programs. "
3. No

# data[].attributes.body
1. Divinity School
2. Nope!
3. I haven't heard of any, but assume registration hold is one of the penalties.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Anthro
2. No
3. I didn't get penalized for not paying it last year - only paid it this fall. I can double check that there was no penalty
4. If we are promised healthcare and then also pay for it through student life fees, that's fraudulent

# data[].attributes.body
NELC--we pay the full fee. I think there was an opportunity to opt out if you were living abroad, etc. I haven't heard about penalties for not paying, but I also don't know of people who didn't pay in the past.

I do have to pay the SLF quarterly. I am aware of a $100 fine for delayed payments, but in my experience there's some leeway in when or if they levy it. I've previously paid my slf a few days late and not been fined, but one occasion I was fined and even so was able to appeal it and get it waived. In a different vein, in the course of GSU's previous slf mobilisations we found some stuff of how the funds were being used: https://uchicagogsu.org/2015/08/24/what-is-the-student-life-fee-anyway-a-public-conversation/

# data[].attributes.body
1. Anthro
2. not really, although perhaps some student wellness stuff
3. Nope, although I imagine there is eventually some sort of withholding of further funds or access to libraries
4. I waived, no questions asked, despite living in Chicago, not sure how that happened, but I do think there might be a few first year grad students who managed that loop hole.

# data[].attributes.body
1. music
2. just vaguely, and the Graduate Music Society (our social board) gets funds from HDGSC so I don't think that's related to student services fee but not 100% sure.
3. I've heard about issues w/checking out books from the library but that was word of mouth from a while ago and not the past few quarters
4. Hoping we can get a critical mass of people to pledge. Also, another reason for reducing student services fee is that it's super expensive for first  years to relocate, so adding this fee on top is just too much.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Music
2. Random stuff that doesn't really have to directly do with healthcare.
3. nope
4. nope

# data[].attributes.body
RLL I paid the full amount, we don’t know what it goes to, many people would be happy in my department to withhold I think if they can be reassured about the possible negative consequences

# data[].attributes.body
1. English
2. Nope
3. I have heard there is a fine, but I paid late this quarter and did not pay a fee

# data[].attributes.body
1. Political Science
2. Nope! The department chair has no idea and says the SSD dean of students has no idea.
3.  No penalties so far yet -- I haven't yet paid it yet.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Physics! :)
2.  Not really.  When we ask they say student health services.
3.  It's automatically paid when I signed up for direct deduction.  The physics department pays for it.
4.  In most BSD and PSD departments the SSF is included in our stipend.

We have to pay the full $416/quarter.  No discussion has been had with faculty about it so far (at least not collectively). But lots of appeal in dept for a refusal.

# data[].attributes.body
1. music
2. no - and I don't even use the gym.
3. not yet! just reminder emails to pay! (still the full amount)
4. I know one person who was asked many years ago if they paid their SSF in order to be seen at the clinic. Doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
