& shy; Recently, the temperature in Rongcheng gradually rose, and many citizens began to use air conditioners. On the 6th, some students from the software college of Fujian Institute of Engineering reported on Weibo that the college charged students the air conditioning fee. “We think this is compulsory consumption, which is very unreasonable. You can buy a new air conditioner even if you pay the fee for 3 years.”

& shy; Charges comply with relevant regulations and standards

& shy; Yesterday, the reporter called the software Institute of Fujian Institute of Engineering, and the relevant person in charge told the reporter that due to funding problems, the school installed air conditioners for student dormitories in batches a few years ago, and no air conditioning fee was charged before, collection only started this year. The person in charge said that the school attaches importance to students’ different opinions, and students can give feedback to counselors. If there are reasonable suggestions, the school will consider them and plan to hold a meeting this morning to discuss them. In addition, after the air conditioning fee is added, the school will bear the daily maintenance, operation and maintenance of the dormitory air conditioning.
& shy; The reporter found that the charging standard of the school conforms to the regulations on charging standard in the notice on issues related to installing air conditioners in student dormitories of public schools in our province.
& shy; Air conditioning usage fee is very common in Rong University
& shy; “I think it is quite reasonable to charge the corresponding fee. After all, the air conditioner is purchased and installed by the school.” Xiao Chen from Grade 3 of Fuzhou University said that in recent years, air conditioners have been installed in the dormitory of the school. On the basis of the original accommodation fee, 100 yuan is charged per person per school year, and students all default to the maintenance fee of air conditioners. Xiao Chen said that the cost was not high and the students could accept it.
& shy; The reporter visited Fujian Normal University, Fujian Medical University, Jiangxia University, Minjiang University and other universities, and found that except Minjiang University, students from other schools said that the school would charge about 100 yuan more for the maintenance of dormitory air conditioners.
& shy; Students hope to distinguish fees
& shy; During the interview, the reporter found that some students also had different opinions and hoped that the school would be free of air conditioning fees.
& shy; Xiao Yang, a sophomore student in the English department of Minjiang University, and her roommates said that they were used to the school not charging this fee. If they suddenly want to add the fee, everyone might have conflict psychology.
& shy; “We never use air conditioning in our dormitory in summer, but we have to pay the same fee as everyone. Although it is not much, we can’t help feeling a little wronged. I hope the school can pay the fee differently.” Xiao Jin, a junior student of School of Economics and Management of Fuzhou University, said. (Reporter Lin Luo Yu Lin Yu Xi)
