In providing legitimate goods and services to the California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) campus community, Associated Students, Incorporated (ASI) wishes to state its firm support of the principles of "fair competition" as outlined in the CSU memos ABS 87-33 and ABS 88-26. To this end, the following policy is adopted for ASI in the conduct of its business affairs:
The primary mission of California State University, San Bernardino is the creation and dissemination of knowledge. In supporting this mission, it is often desirable for ASI to charge fees for providing goods and services that enhance, promote, or support CSUSB's instructional, research, public service, and all other educational and support functions in order to meet the needs of the students, faculty, staff and members of the public participating in institutional events.
