"What about forcing students to hand money to organizations they object to on religious or moral grounds? "

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Can you give an example of a group or organization that a student might be compelled to join, but they might have philosophical or religious differences with?

Besides tuition, parking, housing books and other matriculation fees, I can't think of any other mandatory "group" fees.

I believe tsomer is speaking of "Student Activity Fees" which are ordinarily mandatory, and which ar paid out to chartered (recognized) student groups.

I don't know if you can "opt out" of Student Activity Fees, whether or not you participate in one of those chartered student group.

Anybody know?
