This petition is to stop the Mascot Steering Committee from spending anymore of OUR money. The DU Administration raised tuition this past year, lowered professors' salaries, but has spent between $40,000-$100,000 on this project between the hiring of artists and conducting focus groups, only to determine that no mascot is the best course of action. That money even could have actually been spent on things that benefited minority groups on campus or even in the entire Denver area. Instead, it was spent on virtually nothing. We, the students of DU, are not going to sit idly while this committee spends more and more of our money, only to decide on having no mascot for our school.
