The emails I receive from students struggling to afford these basic tools confirm that the institution is ignoring a massive financial and educational burden. I am currently compiling these personal accounts to present to the administration even though the current lack of transparency from their office is exhausting. Dealing with this level of apathy is draining but the struggle for equitable access to our own coursework remains necessary.

Seeing this kind of movement confirms that so many of you feel the weight of these unnecessary costs just as heavily as I do. It is exhausting to keep pushing against an institution that ignores these burdens but your response gives me a reason to stay in this fight.

I really need this. Trying to keep up with the coursework on a five year old laptop is nearly impossible.
Schools are robbing us blind and then expecting us to provide our own heavy equipment. Do the right thing and include this in our tuition.

Seriously it is a joke that we pay so much in tuition and still have to shell out thousands for gear on top of it. Give us the tools we need to actually get jobs after graduation.
