e.g. Melb uni where my daughter goes-The union fees support a range of student services and amenities including: the Rowden White Library; the Computing Centre; the Student Union Advisory Service; subsidised legal, health and dental services; a campus information centre; and common areas in Union House. This allocation also covers salaries, upkeep and development of the student union's buildings.
Maybe sport facilities too?
Doesn't seem that unreasonable to me but each to his own. Have found that people who complain about union fees are regularly the first to avail themselves of its facilities when they need help.
I went to Melbourne Uni in the late 90s and the student administration fee covered the costs for the same types of expenditure.
