Student Services Funding Model Survey

Auxiliary Services - Models and Fees

Eastern Washington University is currently undergoing a process of resource reallocation.

This survey was created in order to gather information on auxilary services at campuses of various sizes across the United States in order to better understand overhead and administrative fees and the relationship between auxiliaries and the broader funding models.

Additionally, this survey focuses on Housing, Dining, and Bookstore operations.

Please respond to the following questions. The survey should take 5-10 minutes to complete.

Your participation is voluntary, and responses will be confidential.

Please feel free to skip any question that you do not know the answer to or do choose to not answer for any other reason.

Please forward the survey to others on your campus who may be able to answer questions you cannot.
