They just happen to be bundled that way at UW. The PCs have left universities mostly in the dark about what will be deemed a "non-essential" service that students must be allowed to opt out of. Most of the examples fall under the student services fee, not the Feds (student union) fee.
The latest reporting that I saw was that only athletics and safety (eg WalkSafe) fees would be ineligible for opting out. Everything else could be affected. Windsor sought clarification and seems to think that their U-Pass would be a candidate for opting-out.
What’s so special about athletics, that it should be non-opt-out?
Bad question, I know, because the question pre-supposes good faith and rational thought on the part of the current government.
