Yale finally backed down and reversed those predatory fee hikes while restoring our hiring priority. This win belongs to the 585 of you who refused to let the administration ignore our needs. Don't think for a second that our work ends here because we are going to keep watching them …

Due to the impact of the recent financial crisis on students, we, the undersigned, call on Yale to reverse the recent increase in the student self-help financial aid contribution from $2,600 to $3,000. Furthermore, we ask that Yale reinstate the two-week exclusive hiring period for student jobs previously granted to students receiving financial aid. We hope the University will view these proposals as a call for greater student access to, and involvement in, the financial aid decision-making process.

Yale is ignoring us because they think we will get tired and quit. Get ten people you know to sign this right now so we can hit that hundred mark and force the administration to open their doors.

The increase is totally out of touch, especially with the state of the economy right now. Put it back to where it was.

Jobs on campus should definitely go to the students who actually need the money to stay enrolled. Give them priority.

REALLY Yale? You have the endowment, you can afford to help your students out. This is greedy.

It is hard enough to balance classes and work. Making us pay even more just to be here is wrong.

Tuition is already insane. Stop squeezing students for every last cent when they are just trying to get an education.
