St. Cloud State University students have again rejected a fee increase to pay for renovations of Atwood Memorial Center, the St. Cloud Times reports.
Nine percent of the student body voted, and 42 percent supported the increase, which would have been an additional $4.20 a credit, up to 12 credits, for the next two decades.
