Students Return to Salem
‘Thanks for funding college students, and p.s., don’t forget us!”
Oregon’s first-ever supplemental session is now underway and students are returning to the capitol February 13th and 14th with their famously creative tactics. Students are delivering bagged lunches to legislators filled with items from last year’s “bake sale” as a way to thank them for the historical reinvestments they made in students last session. The lunches also contain a napkin with a hand-written message, just like the one mom or dad would put in your lunch bag, reminding legislators not to forget about students next session!
Said OSA Board member Mike Filippelli, “With a possible upcoming recession on everyone’s minds, OSA wants to ensure that Oregon’s college and university students don’t once again get tossed to the bottom of the pile when it comes to funding. With these bagged lunches, we are both thanking our legislators for the great job they did last session for Oregon’s college and university students as well as reminding them to keep it up! A continued reinvestment in postsecondary education is what will ensure that our economy has the college-educated workforce it needs for the future.”
