The Associated Students for Affordable Education is made up of determined students from Portland Community College who are motivated to take part in not just a worthy cause, but hopefully incite some changes in all institutions nationwide.
Our Mission is to educate students on the decrease of subsidies and funding to schools, as well as trying to lower or stop the increase of tuition costs. This in turn will create more affordable education in Oregon school, which will increase the chances for more opportunities.
Those who seek to revitalize or start a new academic life can’t afford to ignore!
Because of the rising cost of tuition students have to take out larger student loans, which only hold them back after a completed degree.
The rising cost of tuition has students taking out larger student loans, which places them in debt once they graduate and begin their career. This is no way for a person to start their life, or to try and make it a better one.
We must explore alternative ways to fund our schools or to at least find ways to cut costs so we could lower tuition! Lets rise up and create a voice for a brighter future.
