VCSU125THLOGOVALLEY CITY, N.D. (AP) – Students at Valley City State University have approved a student fee increase to help fund the operating expenses of the proposed Valley City Health, Wellness and Physical Education Center.
 
64 percent of students who voted this month favored the idea. University Marketing Director Greg Vanney says the fee would be about $11 per credit hour, capped at 12 credits.
 
     The $16 million wellness center project still needs the approval of city voters. They’ll decide during the Nov. 4 general election whether to dedicate a portion of sales tax revenue to the construction and operation of the wellness center.
 
     The facility would be a joint effort of the university, the city’s Parks and Recreation Department and CHI Mercy Health hospital.
