I believe that the University and a group of dedicated students led by the student body president should fight tuition increases with every ounce of blood, sweat and tears in their bodies. There should be guarantees and promises made by students and officials. We should definitely have a say in whether tuition should be increased. But they do not communicate with us about the subject. That needs to change. Let's change it together.
Ticketing
The increase in construction is only going to decrease the parking spots we already have even more. Because of this off-campus students are going to dread coming to campus for fear of finding a ticket on their car rather than finding a legal space in which to park. Since we unfortunately have to carry the burden of expansion and construction for the future on our shoulders, I believe we are entitled to a compromise.
First, public transportation should be increased. That is the only feasible solution. Second, first-time offenders should get an automatic appeal on their first ticket. No hassle.
South Campus Construction
I propose to lead a group of South Campus representatives to meet with University officials to discuss their concerns and emotions about the present and future construction.
The Addition of Majors and Minors
I believe that if what the people want to major and minor in is not available, then it should be made available if the interest is there. We are not here just to read books and take exams; we are here to major and minor in subjects that we feel so strongly about . And to deny a major or a minor is, in my opinion, a denial of someone's hopes and dreams.
