As students, we are inherently invested in the decisions made by the University. These affect not only our daily lives but also the value of our education. Despite this fact, the vast majority students have no say at all in those decisions. The lack of student voices in University decision-making has led to a series of abuses upon the student body, the most recent of which is a 30% tuition hike.

They act like money just grows on trees. I'm working two jobs just to afford classes as it is
ALREADY STRUGGLING TO PAY FOR BOOKS AND RENT. THIS IS A JOKE.
We deserve a real seat at the table when they decide to hike up our debt like this.
