We the students of the University System of Georgia petition the State Legislature and the Office of the Governor for full funding of the of the USG 2013 formula. We, the more than 300,000 students within the system are the future of innovation and job creation within the state. We are the future leaders, doctors, lawyers, engineers, scientists, teachers, business men and women. The USG stands at the forefront of academic excellence in the United States and makes Georgia a model for other states to follow. We encourage the State to take the educational system and place it at the top of its policy and budgetary considerations. Let's regain the position where Georgia has a preeminent educational system within the United States.
The focus of our efforts remains on ensuring the legislature recognizes the long-term economic necessity of this funding policy. I have been in contact with several policy analysts to prepare a formal briefing regarding the state of our current budget allocations.
March 22, 2012
The momentum behind this petition highlights the shared commitment to prioritizing academic excellence across our state system. This collective resolve sends a clear message to our leaders regarding the necessity of fully funding public higher education.

Tuition is getting way to expensive for the average family. They keep cutting funding but expect us to pay more every single semester. Stop balancing the budget on the backs of students.
