Funding for Postsecondary Education Supported by Newspapers Across State

On April 25th, students handed out copies of all of the opinion pieces that have been published in Oregon newspapers since the beginning of the year in favor of funding for postsecondary education.  The document is 142 pages long!  View it here.

OSA Releases New Report

On March 27th, OSA released an original research report entitled ”Where Are We At and Where Are We Going? A Survey of Students and Campuses in Oregon.” As the state has continued to disinvest in Oregon’s colleges and universities, students have taken on substantial tuition increases and are facing increasing budget cuts on campus.  This report is the first to examine the impacts of six years of decreasing state support for postsecondary education on Oregon students and their colleges and universities.

Findings from 30 staff interviews at campuses across the state and over 4,000 student surveys reveal concerning trends for Oregon students and campuses, as well as successes institutions have had despite decreased funding. 

“Oregon college students and their campuses are teetering on the edge,” said report author and OSA Executive Director Melissa Unger.  “A significant group of students are barely able to pay tuition and receive the services they need to graduate.  And campuses have no more edges to trim.”

OSA Rally for Funding a Success!!

At what was the largest rally for postsecondary education in Oregon since 1999, over 500 hundred students, administrators, faculty, and staff from colleges and universities across the state joined on the Capitol steps in a collective call for reinvestment in postsecondary education on February 22nd.  Legislators who were unable to be in attendance reported hearing the spirited rally calls—and even feeling their rumble—from inside the building!  To read more about the rally, read our Internet Digest or see what the media had to say on our Press page.  Photos will be available soon.
