President Hutchinson finally backed down and killed these predatory fee hikes. This win proves that Chico State cannot just ignore us when they decide to raid our bank accounts. Keep watching them because we forced their hand once and we will do it again.

To the Elected Student Representatives of the AS Government Affairs Committee & President Gayle Hutchinson and her Cabinet at Chico State:

We, the undersigned Students, are strongly opposed to the fee increases being proposed at Chico State for two main reasons:

1) Unsubstantiated claims regarding the need for Alternative Consultation, over the proper Referendum process; and

2) Lack of consideration for the tremendous financial burden these fee proposals would impose on the Students.

We demand that the Associated Students act in the best interests of the Students they were elected to represent, and vote against the proposed fee increases.

We further demand that President Hutchinson go through a legitimate democratic process that involves ALL Students at Chico State and initiate a referendum for these and all future proposed fee increases.

Signed,

President Hutchinson and the AS are trying to sneak these fee hikes past us before we realize what is happening. We are about to hit one hundred signatures so push this out to every student you know right now. We have to make it impossible for them to ignore our anger.

Students are paying too much for an education! In order to get a good education, students are sacrificing their food and their housing and that is not okay! No education is worth going hungry or being homeless for!

College is already expensive and some students aren’t getting help from their parents, but aren’t eligible for financial aid. No need to add more fees.

This is ridiculous that we have to pay more, when we are being offered nothing more in exchange for this extra money out of our pockets. I already can barely afford school with financial aid and now I’m going to be in even more debt. Unacceptable.

I find myself struggling on the daily to manage my expenses and I’m already paying out of state tuition and taking out large loans that I will be paying off for the rest of my life.

There's a reason the proper channels exist. Stop being shady, do it the right way.

This is against democracy! It could be for free ponies for everyone but regardless the student body should be able to vote!
