In the last 10 years, on average, segregated fees at UW-Madison have increased by 90% - largely due to increases in non-allocables (student union, rec sports facilities, health services and childcare tuition assistance programs) which have increased by 103% compared to 45% increase in allocables (student orgs, student govt, campus bus). Students have less control and input in altering non-allocable budgets which make up 80% of the seg fee budget. Building projects (like Union South and Memorial Union Renovation) cost students $192 a year for up to 30 years (without including costs for maintenance and upkeep of buildings) From: http://www.secfac.wisc.edu/senate/2014/0203/2470%20Ad%20hoc%20tuition%20report.pdf
